In 1066, following the brutal genocide ordered by William the Conqueror in order to control the unrelenting Rebels of the North, it’s a world of dark times and dark deeds. After years of slavery, a Norman Prince (Weber) returns to the lost lands to seek revenge on his father’s murderer by leading a band of farmers in bloody retribution. Rounding out the notable cast are Ed Skrein (“Game of Thrones”), Dave Legeno (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) and Karel Roden (The Bourne Supremacy).

The critics are impressed:

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter said SWORD OF VENGEANCE featured:

“enough clanging sword fights, severed limbs, slit throats and bare-bones dialogue to satisfy genre fans …”

EMPIRE says of SWORD OF VENGEANCE:

“Director Jim Weedon goes for an…. over-stylised look, all color-leeched vistas, time-lapsed clouds and slo-mo riding.”

Andy Lea of The Daily Star claims

“the fights are entertainingly staged and the sparse dialogue is amusing. At 86 minutes it feels refreshingly brisk”
