Radioactive Cannibal Vikings from Hell (2007) - Sweden
Directed by: Nils Härgestam
ABOUT THE FILM:
Sweden-based indie movie-makers Nils B-Films brings us this tale of four criminals who are on the run as they come across a house, encountering a family of vikings that have long been cut off from society and are still stuck in the old times. It just so happens to be that this family of vikings are also cannibals.
..Oh, and they're radioactive.
REVIEW:
I had no idea what to expect when I first sat down to watch this. With a title like that, it could only have been great, right? Well...
I have to give the filmmakers credit for at least bothering to tell us a story. Each scene transitions fairly smoothly and tells us all we need to know about our characters in order to follow them through the film. Despite the obvious nods to Peter Jackson's Bad Taste, the story is still fun and helps keep the viewer entertained. The acting works well enough for such a low-budget film, as the cast gives a delivery hammier than a slab of bacon. The gore effects are so amateurish and laughable that they almost make Der Henker look like Tom Savini's finest hour... Okay, maybe not that bad. Some of the creatures look kind of cool.
Shot on low-quality digital video and edited with Windows Movie Maker. Despite the cheap camera, everything is shot well enough and everything is focused. The editing is serviceable for a product of second-rate editing software, and the English subtitles are at least well-timed.
Overall, I'd say that this film was a passable effort. While nothing too special, it's at least a fun watch for a rainy afternoon.
