Tonight Netflix offered me VIKING WOLF. Number four movie of
the week!
Starring the tiny actress who played the sister/princess on
"Royalteen", not the beautiful redhead from "Royalteen"!... :(
I got a review from Ob Veeus just this minute:
I also watched VIKING WOLF. This was pretty standard werewolf
fare with only a bit of deviation on how the transformation
process works.
Ever seen _Shewolf of London_? After they rebranded to _Love and
Curses_, the title character went from turning into a wolf under
the full moon to turning into a wolf when she was horny. (The
rebranding was going full-blown comedy, and bits of it were damned
funny.)
The movie gets bonus points for the oh so
original premise of a cop moving to a small town in Northern
Europe and being faced with a sudden influx of violence to an
otherwise peaceful place. I’d love to know why so many
Northern European shows are based upon this premise. This movie
gets a big demerit for the last minute of film which also plays
into the st6andard horror film trope.
It's a common enough trope in US productions, too, because if
there's no conflict, there's no story to film. Some series involved
small towns with murder rates that make Chicago look like a crime
free paradise.
