So I love my horror and when there's a horror flick that seems pretty interesting despite not having a major release in the States, I always try to watch it. This is the case with this movie, especially seeing that it starred Henry Cavill (our new superman, yummy), Michael Fassbender and Dominic Purcell. Pure man candy! Thought it would be a true feast for my eyes.
The movie opens during World War II and you meet a German family trying to make their way while living in West Virginia. The family receives a letter which details that they were chosen to host a German professor, Richard Wirth (Fassbender) who wanted to conduct research about Viking ties to the area. They gladly accept, unknowing the horrors that are about to befall them by welcoming this man in. He is a Nazi scientist who believes that his occult practices will allow him the life immortal. They subsequently become prisoners in their home.
Seventy years later we meet the Marshall brothers, Evan (Henry Cavill) and Victor (Dominic Purcell). Evan is a paramedic trying to support his dad and his brother's family since Victor has been missing for the past two years. Suddenly, Victor shows up just as mysteriously as he disappeared, and asks for Evan's help. Where has Victor been? He has been held prisoner with the same German family and tortured. He is out for revenge and his vengeance leads Evan and himself on a dark journey into the occult.
It was an interesting movie, but not the highlight of my year.
I give it a 6 out of 10.
Next up is "Strictly Sexual."
