Vikings Vs. Krampus (2019)

Aka Pagan Warrior

King Rollo learns the Vikings are planning to storm the castle and decides to flee with his family.  This isn’t a good idea since there are only five Vikings and Rollo has six people in the castle. He could just bar the door and the Vikings would be out of luck.   

Instead he heads into the woods where the Vikings are laying in wait. After a tepid sword fight, the king and queen are dead, and the others are kidnapped.  The bodies are found by the women of the myth who decide to bring the king and queen back to life.

When he mentions revenge, the women offer to summon Krampus, warning he will pay a price ten years from today.  Rollo is fine with the carnage, and we all know this will ultimately go terribly wrong.

Who knew Vikings were so boring and clean?  They always have clothes that are spotless and without any wear. But sometimes their faces have a few smudges of dirt.  The sword fights are slow and resemble kids play. Hurrah for safety, but there’s got to be a way to make it look like they’re actually fighting.  

How did the Vikings get into the castle? One of the King’s men stayed behind because he said they’d be better off if he did. Why did he stay?  Shouldn’t the castle have been secure? Or did he let them in and I missed it in my stupor?   But the biggest question is why did the King run away from five Vikings when he had more people and the safety of a castle?

Ridiculous dialogue

Tonight we shall have a feast such as they have. In Valhalla.

Krampus the Yule monster

I think you think you’re really clever.

812, got it.
Uh 1812, got it.
The Vikings
The King and crew
Happy Krampus
Nice of the Vikings to mow the field
