The effects were certainly the highlight of this film. Not so much the acting or costumes. 😂

To any big movie studios out there, please give this man millions of dollars and full creative control of his own project. Sincerely, every sci-fi fan ever.

This was a fun short. Vikings vs Space Orks.

Now, there's something you don't see every day.

Fun fact! Vikings didn’t have horned helmets… learned this on a trip to Iceland, the Catholic Church portrayed them in such a way so they could be compared to the devil.😉

The only horns they use were the drink horns,in complete.Maybe a drinking horn lays beneath a helmet and the Catholic Church said here is the evidence the horn beneath a helmet and the horn was fallen off back in the fight and one meter away was another horn and then they got their two horns and began to start spreading rumors around,that some people still believe in nowadays.

I wish to complement you on both concept and execution. The direction, and ability of the actors to suspend disbelief, kept the film moving fast and furious. The acting was what really finished selling the classic story line, with its nods to films such as Predator. The use of the natural setting worked well, and the design of the visitor and its costume was striking. "This is my realm!" What a berserker with true Viking spirit! Come though they may, as the ending shows, they would not meet a cowed populace. It was just a bad day to be an alien soldier, facing a badly misjudged, less technological, but perfectly capable foe.

That was impressive for a short film. Wouldn’t you love to see this in the cinema. Favorite thing was that the alien armor was clearly well advanced but still had very plausible exploitable weak points. It was all just awesome.

Here you can clearly see the work of the masters. The action sequences, story, cinematography and visuals are even better than most big budget movies. I liked it very much. I would love to see a 3 hour movie if these guys made it.😃

I'll be a hundred percent honest, I have never found a Dust video I didn't like... until now. Every possible detail about the Norse at that time period that could be gotten wrong, was gotten wrong. At no point in this short, did it ever make sense! I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

SUPER DOPE! Well done mixing a Antiquity with Futuristic. I was diggin’ the short all the way through thanks to the supporting Music which is my style of creating Music for such visual works. 🤩✊🏽

It was well researched and written thoughtfully, albeit more violent than what usually attracts my interest. For the material scripted the acting was good. We don't know what caused the first battle and on incentive to be for a wining side in that part so then the starting action is much violence with no engagement of passions by the viewers to that starting warfare. You'd have to be fascinated with that kind of hand to hand combat to like this at the start, but with the plot beginning to move in the second scene it makes progress nicely. Every Writer has their own preferred approach, so I won't need comment there. The Directing was very good. I think that is what makes it work, is very good Directing. Tusen tok, kol a' mein! Godt film!

This another proof that the contributors to DUST can produce world class flix. Much of what appears on DUST is sub par, mediocre, and hardly worth the time it takes to watch it. However, that makes gems like this one all the more enjoyable. We must be harsh critics, we must have standards of excellence. And "The Fallen" is most excellent! Thanks for sharing!

Vikings meet Predator in the 7th C. Wonderful filming. Plot, dialogue, and special effects" " STUPID,STUPID,STUPID" . An incredible waste of talent with a surplus of blood and grunting.

I've seen many high budget movies that didn't hold a candle to this. Great job. You could make a 2 hour movie with this. I'm available for a starring role. Just sayin'

Thank you! Glad you've enjoyed the film. Yes, I played with the idea of exploring a science based extra-terrestrial origin of "Orcs". After all our fantasy books and stories are full of them, so why not ground it in something that we can scientifically explain, plus it makes a great foe for the Viking age sagas, similar to Beowulf & Grendel.

Absolutely amazing work
