Score: 4/10

Director: Jim Weedon

Stars: Annabelle Wallis, Stanley Weber, Karel Roden, Edward Akrout.

The Honorable Mention Series:

Synopsis: Vengeance is the driving force behind a shadow walker's return to avenge the death of his family.

Review: A Viking warrior called the Shadow Walker ( Stanley Weber ) wants revenge for the death of his family at the hands of those in power. He seeks revenge by killing the loved ones of his enemies. One day on his journey he finds a village and decides to help the villagers protect themselves from the same dominating force that killed his family.

Annabelle Wallis does a great job in this film. I love her acting ability as a female warrior. She has played a lovely lady in the film X-Men: First Class (2011). I am glad to see her shine in this awful film. She was the only thing good about this movie.

The main protagonist is a despicable excuse for a hero. All he does is just use people to selfishly get what he wants. He is also not very smart and can’t seem to make up his mind. He can be looked at as bipolar. He also doesn’t say much at all.

The cinematography is just average. This is some of the worst lighting and color I have ever seen in a movie. Amateur movies and short films on popular online video sharing web sites look better than this. The backgrounds are great. The wardrobe is great as well. Unfortunately all of which is washed out. The dialog is almost nonexistent. I am not sure as to why the creators of this film did this but they must have taken the screenwriting technique of “show don’t tell” way too far. Sadly this is the kind of B-movie than ends up in the bargain bin in a video game or dollar store. If you want to see amazing Viking action than watch the superb History Channel TV show Vikings. It’s a much better display of media than this rip off of a film. Over all the film fails to engage you into the story. Because the characters don’t really say much, you just are not connected to them. The movie is below average and one you should avoid.
