The First Movie In The Classic Viking Trilogy

The Best Viking Movie From Italian Genre Legend Mario Bava
This is another Viking movie from Mario Bava though one that was more thrust upon him when the production fell into chaos.The movie feels like a Viking version of the great Western movie Shane as it follows a mysterious Viking warrior who takes up the cause of a young peasant woman and her child, defending them from vicious villain attempting to take her for his queen. Knives of the Avenger comes across as a little silly today, but it hides more merit than face value discloses. Made on a low...
