AXE RAIDERS is another slice of costume madness from Scots director Robbie Moffat. It's part of a loose trilogy that began with THE BONE HUNTER and was followed with THE WINTER WARRIOR. The script is slightly better here but only slightly. The story is your usual Dark Age nonsense about clan rivalry and the beautiful Scottish landscapes are the best element. Otherwise, it feels like a typical re-enactment, with a lot of attention paid to costumes, dwellings, and food, but not much in the way of story. They got hold of a ship for one scene which is quite impressive. A shame the quality of the acting is so pitiful.
