Wikipedia article




'Viking Destiny' (also known as 'Of Gods And Warriors') is a 2018 film directed by David L.G. Hughes. The film was released on October 5, 2018 by Fatal Black and Saban Films.

Plot



A Viking Princess (Demetriou) is forced to flee her kingdom after being framed for the murder of her father the King. Under the guidance of the god Odin, Terence Stamp, she travels the world gaining wisdom and building the army she needs to win back her throne.

Production



Filmed between 8 June and 12 July 2017 at Leslie Hill, Red Hall, Ballycarry, and O'Harabrook House near Ballymoney in Northern Ireland.

Critical reception



The film was largely negatively received by reviewers. 'The Guardian's Cath Clarke described it as "fantastically wooden and dodgily acted" and Jeannette Catsoulis of 'The New York Times' summed it up as "low-budget Nordic nonsense". In contrast James Hanton of 'Starburst (magazine)' asserted that, of the Viking movies in circulation, "this one punches above its weight in comparison to many" and Flash Bang Film Review commented that it "delivers a very high standard of action in front of the camera and strong filmatism behind it.".
