**_What happens when crazy Norse warriors are resurrected after 1200 years_**

Five American archeological students are invited to Denmark by a disreputable anthropologist to dig up the remains of a berserker clan of Vikings in bog near a castle. Things go awry when the bodies amazingly come to life.

“The Bog Creatures” (2003) is a low-budget creature feature costing around $75,000 (I’m guesstimating based on the cost of another one of the small studio’s productions from that time period). For such a miniscule budget, the story is rather ambitious and there’s some welcome droll humor amidst the life-or-death goings-on. The female cast is okay, but not exceptional, including Leia Thompson (Diana), Courtney Henggeler (Suzie) and Debbie Rochon (Tara).

While I’m giving this a relatively low rating due to the story bogging down after the first half hour and some lame writing here or there, it’s watchable if you don’t mind really low-budget fare. There’s a nice twist in the last act that I didn’t see coming. 

It runs 1 hour, 22 minutes, and was shot in Bovina, New York, which is a 1.5-hour drive southeast of Albany and a 1-hour drive northwest of Woodstock.
