  Review by haley ★★

  bad cgi, terrible writing, uninteresting characters, awful acting from everyone (especially the lead character) and on top of all of that, they give us this horrid poster?? at least some of the gore looks decent

  Review by Acoucalancha ★★★

  I still stand by it: a werewolf movie isn't a true werewolf movie if it doesn't show you the transformation, be it through practical effects or CGI (looking at you straight into the eyes Werewolf By Night).

  Viking Wolf is certified werewolf movie! The transformation was great, a mix of both practical effects and CGI. The CGI actually looks good (for the wolf at least) and I like the design it looks cool and threatning. We get a surprising amount of scenes with the wolf, all of which are thrilling. I wish it showed more of the kills though, the camera tends to cut away from them. There's also lots of backstory about the Norwegian werewolf mythology which I found…

  Fenris

  Nach "Troll" nun das nächste Netflix Original aus Norwegen, dass sich einer norwegischen Folklore bedient.
  Es ist also kein gewöhnlicher Werwolf Film wie schon vermuten lässt.

  Zur Handlung möchte ich jetzt gar nicht wirklich was sagen. Die ist voll ok.

  Was wirklich im Kopf blieb ist die Atmosphäre und das, verhältnismäßig, sehr gelungene CGI.

  Wer weiß, vielleicht bekommen wir hier gerade ein "NMCU" - Nordic Monster Cinematic Universe und der nächste Teil spielt auf dem Meer und heißt "Midgard - Legacy" 😅

  Fenris

  After "Troll" now the next Netflix original from Norway that uses a Norwegian folklore.
  So it's not an ordinary werewolf movie as you might expect.

  I don't really want…

  Dank Netflix dürfen norwegische Laiendarsteller mal wieder beweisen, was sie nicht können.

  Regie und Drehbuch haben die letzten 50 Jahre auch verpennt, gepennt, whatever. Wirklich grausam einfallslos und schlecht, was einem hier mal wieder geboten wird. Ich verstehs auch einfach nicht mehr. Anscheinend hat Netflix doch zuviel Kohle.

  Wer diese einfallslose, norwegische Godzilla/King Kong-Kopie namens Troll gut fand, wird eventuell auch diese Grütze hier mögen.

  Und nix gegen Norwegen wa. Würde viel Geld dafür ausgeben, um da mal ordentlich und lange Urlaub zu machen und alles.

  Aber in meinen Augen ist ein guter Schiss auf der Toilette weitaus befriedigender, als sich Viking Wolf anzugucken.

  Review by SweeneyTom ★★★

  A decent Norwegian werewolf story that has a compelling final third (and rampages in the final twenty minutes) to satisfy if you can stick through the wait to get there. The wolf looks cool, even if the transformation to it feels a bit less so

  Review by MichaelEternity ★★

  Nothing to see here. A Nordic werewolf movie that came to Netflix this weekend, that kicks off with a totally metal origin story about the beast (tell me there's not already a glam-metal band called Viking Wolf), but then melts into the dullest cliches of this territory: protagonist gets bit, transferring the virus, they get rid of the former wolf (so much for Viking Wolf! Unless we're meant to infer that its barbarian warrior essence goes from person to person, but that's never really addressed), protagonist struggles with the pain and confusion of this sickness for most of the middle act, people start dying in quick-cut instances, family finally has a violent extended showdown with wolfed-out protagonist, end of movie.…

  Review by 👁👁 Vihan ★★½

  I did not get into this expecting to actually like it. Its not great, but for what it is its a good concise slow burn movie. It gets better after the 1st act too.

  Netflix-crap with a werewolf that came straight out of the Muopet Show. Give us Landis or Dante instead!

  Review by Luiz Rafael ★★

  PT.
  Entra ano, sai ano e sempre temos um filme de lobisomem. Esse aqui é bem fraco pra dizer a verdade, quando anima um pouco, ele termina. A estética do lobisomem é bem parecida com um lobo comum, tipo Crepúsculo, só que mais seco. A história não engrena nunca, não temos tantas mortes que um filme desse teria, nem tem uma investigação interessante, não há o drama da menina que iria se tornar lobisomem, nada. Eu vejo com ele sendo um monte de ideias jogadas ali, sem propósito ou que leve a alguma coisa.
  Muitos inícios para nenhum fim.

  Year in, year out, we always have a werewolf movie. This one is pretty weak to tell you the truth,…

  Review by DonnieDarko666 ★★★½

  This Norwegian werewolf film deserves a higher rating than the average it shows here on letterboxd.

  It is a serious movie about the supernatural and it comes with a good cinematography, fine acting and an at times eerie atmosphere.

  One should also note that for such an indie production the werewolf transformation was pretty nicely done.
