Gale S Berserker was a good 1980s slasher film I enjoyed it sometimes a little cheesy, I recommend this B rate movie, Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/13/23 Full Review steve d Nothing intense let alone scary. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrible why is every great anime from my childhood so jacked up when given to the hands of the people in Hollywood Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Ever since I was a kid I remember seeing this at the video store and wanting to see it but for some odd reason I never did. I think the reason why is because my dad was obsessed with Vikings which kinda turned me off from it. But now that Vikings turn me on (lol) I'm happy that it was given the blu ray treatment. And was it worth the wait? Well mostly it's not amazing but it's a fun flick. The setup is pretty standard as a bunch of pretty young things head up to a campsite for ths normal sex and partying. Unfortunately they encounter a viking slasher/demonic bear. The kills are fun and the sex scene is surprisingly graphic. The boys are hunky and the girls are pretty. Sadly none of them are given much character development, they are however dispatched in a surprisingly gruesome fashion. All in all it's a fun 80s slasher gem. 3.5/5 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member While it features an interesting premise, Berserker almost completely fails to deliver upon it as it becomes tedious and forgettable slasher film that alternates between cheesy bear attack scenes and cheesy Viking-with-a-bear-mask scenes.... Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Richard kept talking about how horrible this movie was and how I HAD to watch it, it became a running joke. I finally got around to watching it and it wasn't nearly as bad as I had anticipated!! Although, I'm glad my Norwegian isn't a Berkserker..and that he doesn't have the horrible accent the Norwegian man in this movie dons. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
