AD 754. Northern Europe is divided into two different worlds: above the rivers are the Frisians, the Saxons and the Danes. Below the rivers, the Franks hold sway. Their aim is to do what the Romans never managed and conquer all of Europe, using their new weapon to subjugate the heathens: Christianity. They have their eye on the most important trade center of Europe, ruled over by the Frisian king Aldigisl. This film is a historic, action-packed epic about the rise of Christianity and the sagas and the ancient legends of Redbad.

This is Reine's first historical epic since Admiral, and I loved that film. Reine had told me in an interview in 2016 that he was hoping to get this film made and I am looking forward to this.

The film is currently available on Redbox. I'll be interviewing Roel Reine this afternoon about this film, which (rightfully) has a running time of 2hours and 40 minutes!

The film also gets an On Demand release tomorrow.

Saw this last Thursday and let me say, Roel Reine outdid himself in a major way with this historical epic that is worth its 2hour 40 minute runtime. I was surprised to hear he took only two days for each battle sequence.
