That party ends with Thale and Jonas injured by some sort of animal and Elin (Silje Øksland Krohne The Painting), the mayor’s daughter, missing.īeyond the prologue director Stig Svendsen (Elevator, King’s Bay) and co-writer Espen Aukan (Troll, Baby Boom) don’t put a lot of imagination into Viking Wolf’s setup. The same woods that, in the present day, seventeen year old Thale’s (Elli Rhiannon Müller Osborne Psychobitch, Kosmos) friend Jonas (Sjur Vatne Brean Delete Me, Three Wishes for Cinderella) has invited her to party in. The little hellhound jumps ship and disappears into the woods. Of course, they take it with them, and by the time their longship returns home, it’s the only thing left alive on it. The monks warn them against going into a locked room and assuming it to be filled with treasure, smash down the door and find a snarling red-eyed wolf cub.

Sadly that isn’t what it’s about although it does begin with a prologue, shot like a silent film for some reason, showing a raiding party under the command of Grim Gudbrand storming an abbey.

When I first saw the title Viking Wolf, Vikingulven in its native Norwegian, I had visions of Norse lycanthropes raiding and pillaging their way up and down the coast.
