There are a few worse flicks I've seen, so I rate this putrid film 2/10. The only part I enjoyed was the lead feller carving into his chest with a pair of scissors, but that wasn't even clearly shown, unfortunately. Actors mumbled much of the time and the DVD has no subtitles, so I missed much of the dialogue; it didn't make any real difference, for the "plot" is as thin as a moth's wing, like the talent of the moviemakers responsible for this crud. The young actor who played the som may have a future: I felt he acted rather well, given the script he was presented with. My advice? AVOID THIS FILM !! 2/10.

HORRIBLE movie. Have you seen "Wicker Man"? Same similar stupid plot and ending. STUPID STUPID STUPID. Not scary at all and kinda weird and perverted. The person who wrote this is just a freak and shouldn't write anymore movie scripts ever again.... I'm very eclectic all around and love a wide variety and even love budget films but this movie just SUCKED. School children could have written and filmed something scarier...I just saw the cover and read the summary at the red box and figured- for a dollar something, can't lose. NOPE I want my dollar and some change back. Just ridiculously horrible and I want the time back that i've wasted watching this!

*WILL CONTAIN spoilers*Rape. It is a touchy subject that still exists. I had to wonder, did the writer put that in there as a device to get them to move into this "viking town"? If so, at about 30 minutes into the movie, you will want to punch both the writer and the director in the face. The movie starts with a rape then doesn't even talk about it or touch upon it until at the 70 minute mark. 70 minutes later the only way to get his wife to "open up" is to rape her again. The writer obviously doesn't understand the psychological effects rape has on a victim so he goes with the lesbian route and another rape scene because that's how we get rape victims to talk. Rape. That's like saying the only way to get victims of violence to talk is more violence. 75 minutes and 54 seconds into the movie: When the husband rapes his wife (who is a victim of being raped in her own home) says he "just wants to help her" after we know that he had been cheating on her this whole time since the beginning of the movie. He then cheats on her again after his wife picked up his phone to see a female caller with a picture of what would be the caller's booty in lace panties. If that's not a tell tale sign of "let's get a divorce" I don't know what is, only she can't because she's a rape victim and needs him. Right. What a stupid, unethical, inhumane, egotistical piece of garbage. I want to use this DVD for firing practice.I had to quit, but for the sake of this review, I went on.What I have noticed through the movie was the constant random images of... things. Completely irrelevant to the movie. (IE: random images of a reptile is seem walking on a tree, the wife is moisturizing her hands in some blood, random rock, a falling leaf, some bark.). Also the writer doesn't even know a thing about Vikings, what they actually worship, what they did or that they were nomadic. The ending just wraps it all up. None of this makes any sense. It's like watching a slide show of someone's vacation. It's not so much boring as how much sense it doesn't make. If the actors wore alien body suits I might have been able to put this whole thing off as another weird alien movie. It's not. Sadly.I'm so disgusted, I can't even write a proper review. This movie is crap, garbage, not worth your time. I want my 70 minutes back. I want my dollar back. This movie was so horrible, I want my dinner I had to heave back.Don't watch this movie. Don't bother. $1 is asking too much. They should pay you to watch this. Even then you'll want your 100 minutes and 43 seconds back.

I have watched Voodoo Moon and have seen Killer Holiday but Haunting of the innocent takes the cake. For some reason it came out a day early on red box and had a theatrical release for God knows why, my friend asked Ruddigur if I would pay 10 dollars to see this and I would have walked out. A nonsensical bore fest of a suspense horror that looked more like a made for TV dark romance made for lifetime. I have never been so bored watching a movie, I was so mad at the end that I would seriously get in the cage with Chris Weidman and fight in the cage to get my 1.30$ back. I tolerated it by making up my own storyline about the Grandpa having an alter ego "The Dikler" and he ends up being the "a man who gets his way" and a serial one at that. I called Red box before to demand a refund after watching the movie horrible bosses which was a horrible movie but the level of crap makes me want to demand free rentals for a month. 0 out of 10 stars
