The Locarno International Film Festival showcased an unconventional film that pitted Aliens against Vikings. In "Outlander" by Howard McCain, futuristic beings arrive in 10th century Norway, creating chaos without understanding their surroundings. With impressive special effects, larger-than-life characters, and imaginative monsters reminiscent of "Aliens" and "Predator," the film offers a blend of terror and sympathy. Premiering at the festival, the film is expected to attract audiences worldwide, thanks to the Weinstein Company and Wild Bunch's distribution.
The story follows Kainan (Jim Caviezel), the lone survivor of a spaceship crash, as he navigates through a Viking village and discovers the existence of a deadly creature called the Moorwen. As Kainan builds alliances with the Vikings, the film successfully combines elements of science fiction and historical drama, creating an engaging narrative filled with action and suspense.
