Default Valhalla Rising (what was that all about) Movie review!

I loved this movie (waits for this movie sucked replies) went straight to dvd here yet its a gem, and had me pondering on ''what the hell was that all about'' Its not for everyone its slow and there is a lot of staring takes - its like the director said okay you all are going to stare at each other for 10 min in this take, I want you to stare at the sky you stare at him and you stare at the ground etc., and your be doing this for 10min each time kinda thing. It tried to go all mystic and did it well in some parts but at times the stare into the distance thing gets tiresome.

Suppose to be a viking movie but the men One-eye the supernatural viking teams up with are Scottish Christians who are bent on going to Jerusalem and claiming back the promise land well they end up somewhere else and this is where i get lost.

1: Did they end up where they ended up or was it a kind of Valhalla Hell. Some reviews say its hell others say its the new land others say its one-eyes version of hell??
2: Who is the main actor suppose to be a viking demon? some Mystic warrior who can't die?
3. What the hell was the ending all about!

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and will watch it again, it has some brutal parts but all in its very mystic, with terrific scenery and plenty of staring lol

What one reviewer said what im trying to say. lol
There is no clear answer to this film but at the same time you will not feel robbed by the this, there is a definite beginning, middle and end. It's best just to sit back and enjoy the menace that permeates the entire film.
Whats this dude staring at?


One-Eyed doesn't say one word through the entire movie. Mystic man!
