Norse code: OUTLANDER(2008)

I remember when I first saw the trailer for a sci-fi film called Outlander many years ago...and thought it looked surprisingly cool. This movie has grown on me over the years though I admit to having a bias of sorts for anything TV or cinema with vikings in it.

In Outlander(2008), Jim Caviezel plays "Kainan", an alien soldier whose ship crash lands on 8th century Earth in a Scandanavian lake. Kainan accesses his ships' computer log, learns where he is and then has a run in with the local clan of vikings. Kainan reveals to his Norsemen captors that he didn't arrive alone. In fact, a monstrous creature Kainan calls a "Moorwen" has tagged along on his spacecraft and is currently making itself right at home, slaughtering many of the locals as it does.

Kainan and the vikings must quickly work together to stop the threat of the "Moorwen", a hulking and four legged creature that emits a red-purple glow and has a nasty disposition.

I won't call this film spectacular but it's solid with decent special effects, a cool looking monster and Jim Caviezel's performance as "Kainan".

This movie can be bought on DVD and/or Blu Ray and is for sale at Amazon.

Way back on January 29, 2006 I created an internet message board called Monsterland Forums. It's still around albeit nowhere near as active as it was between 2007-2009. It's been converted to "Tapatalks" format and looks different but nearly all the original posting content is still there. So are a handful of members(including myself)!

This message board is also known as 'Monsterland Asylum".

I became self employed back on October 1, 2015 and have been VERY busy but I have committed to restarting this blog with the intent of posting two entries a week minimum.

Right now is a great time to be a fan of giant monsters and giant monster movies. Coming up in May of next year: Godzilla King Of The Monsters(2019), a sequel to 2014's Godzilla. King Ghidorah, Rodan and Mothra(larval and adult forms) are all confirmed to be in this movie along with the "King" himself, Godzilla!

Below is the first official full length trailer for this film.
