This is some of the worst most despicable garbage piece of crap I've ever seen. There is literally no red-line between the start and the ending... not to mention everything in between.
The films starts out with a rape that is almost immediately forgotten. From there we jump back and forth between instances of present and future. The family needs to recuperate so they decide to leave for a while. Everything looks interesting so far...
But then the rape is almost immediately forgotten or at the very least just forced to step aside because apparently it turns out that the rape clearly only served as a 1: way to get our main characters to a particular location which apparently they were destined to reach due to some very misplaced and outrageously looney version of ancient belief. I'll get to that. 2: so that our female 'protagonist' discovers she's a lesbian, she loves being raped, she enjoys being violated. Apparently the writer has issues he's trying to deal with by writing this. And finally 3: All in all it turns out that this family is apparently descendants of some ancient viking lineage which makes no freaking sense for various reasons (vikings never settled first of all, they never went that far west..and so on and on) and whats worse is the fact that this mythological Norse belief is being portrayed as devil worship, blood drinking and such.
A viking who died wrongfully or something ends up taking possession of the male protagonist and that is when the irregular roaring and raping begins. His wife who's been raped earlier tries to get some time off and as a result of that the male won't take no for an answer so we get a very uncomfortable rape scene...in slow motion I might add...with roaring, flashbacks of screaming bloodied viking looking fellas...and...yea. Thats that. Shortly afterwards the dialog is followed up by a: I want to help you. As you can see there is no red-line at all. Nothing makes any sense at all.
Eventually our male protagonist tries to destroy this entity by mysteriously figuring out where the body of this ancient viking is and that is when the craziness continues.
The guy excavates the skeleton, dumps gasoline all over it, grabs a sword also found there, forces it into the dry sand soil and(horrible CGI explosion) the gasoline catches fire when being hit by sword. No sparks... just bad directing.. This doesn't do anything though because the dead viking keeps on taking control, speaking with a demonic voice, carving what looks like x x x x stitch marks into the chest of the male...for no apparent reason either..
No explanation to any of this by the way...
Then directly afterwards, literally, the male protagonist, while the female protagonist is getting it on with some 1000 year old witch character who killed the viking fella who's now the ghost who haunts the male, ....yea...Lesbo action..sounds nice right...its not. Its non-sensical and just out of nowhere just like everything else. It's disgusting and outrageous due to how the film started out.
Anyway..the husband is back in the city where he follows up on some business deal with his CEO and mistress. Just like that I might add... He gets a new job, they decide to celebrate by going to a hotel. Then the son calls him and he breaks off the entire thing with one sentence that sums up how non- sensical this gargage is: "My family needs me" That comes from a guy who's currently half naked on in a hotel with a completely naked woman... That ends like that...he returns...then he's betrayed by his entire family and a lot of cultist looking fellas show up. Then the really utterly confusing and ridiculous part begins...
I'm not exaggerating one bit when saying that. He's literally saying stuff like: "I took up the runes..screaming I took them." We didn't see that or anything like that either.
Then he said: "I know that I hung on a windy tree" Again..that we didn't see or hear anything about either...no context... no information... no nothing
Ultimately the son grabs a knife and stabs the male(father) in the chest. Then they drink his blood and the film ends... Again... just like that
The End.
There is ABSOLUTELY NO CONTEXT WHATSOEVER!!!!!!!!!!! There is NOTHING!! NOTHING tying the beginning and the ending together.
This is it. No visible plot, no context, no information given about anything. One could even argue they make a mockery of that of being raped... Apparently to this m o r o n writer women like to be raped on some deep subconscious level.
There is a lot more to be said but I just can't keep going. I had to point all this out because while the other review are absolutely correct, they held back certain key factors of information.
All in all this film is a COMPLETE MESS! It takes the meaning of messy screen play writing to the next level. Nothing makes sense in this 'film.' It is purely frustrating to watch and the final ending of this horror show will just tick you off even more which could also serve as a closing statement from the director and writer themselves. A statement thats goes like something like this: Thanks for your money. F U C K you.
Thats it people. Don't watch this...It's not even worth watching to see what I'm talking about..its not even worth watching to see what bad film making is all about (maybe it is, its a perfect example actually) it's not even worth paying any attention to in whatever way. This is just pure messy garbage without any point or purpose.
STAY AWAY! I am NOT kidding. You have been warned.
