Review of Valhalla Rising (2009) by Leelustig — 08 Dec 2016

I guess this is one that you either love or hate. What an unsung gem. A true masterpiece and one of a kind. Not exactly a film for mainstream audiences (someone gets disemboweled in the first 10 minutes) but if you're OK with gore, you'll feel right at home.

This is a film that I loved from the first minute up until the credits rolled. Brutal, bold, visual, mystical, subtle, dark and yet oddly uplifting. If you're a fan of period pieces, vikings, violence, or Mads Mikkelsen, do not miss Valhalla Rising.
