viking women and the sea serpent (1957)

aka The Saga of the Viking Women and Their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent. Undersea Monster. Viking Women. The Saga of the Viking.
"All they can do is kill me, or make a slave of me."
A village of Viking women, determine to locate their missing men, who have not returned from a foraging trip. Led by Desir (Abby Dalton), they undertake a perilous journey across seas full of monsters. They eventually stumble on their men being held captive by the barbarian Grimolts. Unfortunately they are also soon captured and have to figure out how to free themselves and the men.

The usual low budget quickie made by Corman. Cheap effects and even cheaper acting, enlivened by Susan Cabot who gives another of her devious performances as the high priestess, determined that Desir should have an 'accident'. Expect vikings that look more like Californian surfers and sea serpents made of rubber. Also expect an enjoyable little adventure.
