just watched it, great film, i personally think it takes place in Scotland, cause it is filmed in Scotland, it's Scottish accents and it's obviously the Scottish highlands, there is no place in Scandinavia that looks like that at all
@vaultkeeper2 Yes it is a great film indeed! I knew it was in Scotland because of what is written on the back, but i have heard some people say it was Vikings , but i just thought it wasnt because of their Scottish accents, but i dont know the full on history of Vikings, so i am not able to give a proper response on that subject. Glad you liked it mate!
@SpannersGerm669 the history of the vikings is partly mythological, not alot of it was written down, it's all written in runestones, hard to understand even by the most advanced lingual scientists, but they have found traces of viking settlements in Scotland so yes it's probably Scotland it's supposed to take place in
@hiddeninabook Hey mate :) Thank you for commenting. I am not surprised one bit that Mads Mikkelsen is appreciated in the Scandinavian countries. Apart from his role in Casino Royale, as the villain, no one ever talks about him here in Australia, which is a great shame. The guy is brilliant! I think you might appreciate this film, its quite unique!!! ... thanks for watching mate :)
I was very sad that no one "got" this film. I loved it, everything about it. I normally don't like films with minimal dialogue but it fit well with the atmosphere of the film. This film is really good, thanks for the review!
@hollywood251 i loved this movie. Just the sheer nightmarish feel to it. The question of faith in god and people losing their minds. On Imdb i gave it a massive 8/10 and was surprised to see it only registered 5.9/10 ... each to their own i guess, but as far as im concerned, this is brilliant. Thank you for watching!
@HanzoTh3Razor hahahahaha, yeah, well the webcam is never nice! ... i loved this movie and i agree, it has very much gone under the radar ... very under appreciated. Thanks for commenting! :)
Since you like Valhalla rising you might even like these older series of movies called, Korpen flyger aka Revenge of the barbarians aka The raven flies, I korpens skugga aka Shadow of the raven and The White Viking. They are swedish/icelandic productions. Good viking scandinavian/iclandic viking movies. They arn´t as symbolic as Valhalla rising but i think you might enjoy them.
By the way i meant that the chieftain said that they have many gods not goods :D
@Heavymetalrille Thank you for your insight mate!!! ... my apologies, i just assumed they were Scottish because of their accents. but i stand corrected. I loved this film! It was just really nightmarish and i am disappointed that so many people didnt like it, but each to their own. Although it was slow, at no point was i ever bored, because every scene had me very tense. Thanks for the awesome comments my good friend!
@Heavymetalrille I love all Viking tales ... even my Hockey club that i play for are The Vikings ... hahahaha ... such an interesting moment of Scandinavian History. So any chance i get of seeing more Viking tales, i am there! Thanks mate :)
Could even be vikings/scandinavians making bets with some scottish people..look closely and you will see that they have different clothing styles.
They certainly have scandinavian things on them and the swords are viking swords witout no doubt. Remember the chieftain talking about the white christ and that they have many goods...he is also the one wearing the thorshammer my friend :)
Don´t forget that Odin is also called one eyed becaus he has one eye :)
Valhalla Rising is a very symbolic movie, i enjoyed it and i get it. It´s not for the average joe, it´s more for the thinking man like myself. I understand the ending and through out the whole movie we were given hints. He knew what was going to happen but he exepted his fate.
Well you got one thing wrong Adam and that is that the people he is captured by are scottish,they arn´t, they are vikings. If you watch closely you can even see a thorshammer on one of them.The swords are scandinavian to

You SURE you're not dead? ;)
I'm a bit surprised that you say Mads Mikkelsen is underrated. As I don't think he is, at least not here. Here he's known as a good actor.
Haven't seen the film, but it sounds interesting.
