Anyone seen this flick? The soundtrack is Burzum, Demon Booger, Morbid Angel blah blah blah and it's two Vikings walking around the woods for nearly two hours.
Highpoints: Church burning; on-screen shitting; bound sex.
Lowpoints: The dialogue, e.g., "This fish is killer."
Disappointing.

I loved Severed Ways, but I can see how it might underwhelm others.
The director has some interviews scattered around the net where he explains how and why he made it. That may have helped my appreciation. Basically the guy who plays the ginger Viking is also the writer, director, set builder, etc...He and the rest of the cast and crew lived like the guys in the film, out in the woods in the cold with minimal supplies or comforts - not even showers - for weeks at a time. One interesting bit that I read was that the Norse dialogue is completely unrelated to the subtitles, it just some shit that was pillaged from another film.
It's very much a "what if" kind of film backed by decent historical research. I really dug the pace, the use of music and the way that it showed the story rather than told it.
I dug it enought that after watching my Netfix, I bought my own copy. To each their own, I suppose.
