VALHALLA RISING
The Story:
“1000 AD, for years, One Eye (Mads Mikkelsen), a mute warrior of supernatural strength, has been held prisoner by the Norse chieftain Barde (Alexander Morton). Aided by Are (Maarten Steven), a boy slave, One Eye slays his captor and together he and Are escape, they join a band of Christian crusaders on a journey by longboat to reconquer the Holy Land of Jerusalem, but they all get lost along the way - first on the still-as-death, fog-bound waters, and then on the unknown shores that they eventually reach, traveling up-river into the heart of darkness. Each man is searching for something different, but as they are assailed by delirium, disorientation and despair - not to mention unseen natives - the pilgrims find themselves being led through this new kingdom of the blind by a one-eyed killer, towards a destiny that only he can see.
