Review of The Saga of the Viking Women and Their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent (1957) by Jon C — 09 Nov 2017
Roger Corman has directed over fifty films (and at age ninety is still active as of this writing as a producer,) some of them, recognized classics of the B-movie genre, such as The Little Shop of Horrors, Bloody Mama, The St.
Valentine's Day Massacre, and the series of Poe-inspired horror movies featuring Vincent Price, but many others so quickly and cheaply made that they are esteemed as classics of the "so-bad-it's good" genre.
Viking Women has to do with a group of Viking women, of course, who set out on a voyage to discover why their husbands haven't returned from their latest expedition: battling sea monsters and a wicked king ensue.
Production values are minimal -- I've seen worse, but not often -- the cast members look more like they belong in a 1950s TV ad for vacuum cleaners than in medieval Scandinavia, and the acting, if it is no worse than you would expect in a high school play, is not any better.
In short, this will appeal to bad movie fans and not to many others.
