Viking Wolf (Norwegian: Vikingulven) is a 2022 Norwegian horror and thriller film directed by Stig Svendsen and starring Liv Mjönes, Elli Rhiannon Müller Osborne, Arthur Hakalahti and Sjur Vatne Brean. The movie was primarily filmed in Notodden, Norway.
During a Viking raid on a monastery in Normandy in 1050, the raiding party discover a wolf cub behind a locked door which they believed held treasure. As compensation for the absent gold and silver, the vikings take the cub to Norway. By the time the ship reaches the Norwegian coast, all vikings have been killed by the wolf and it escapes into the Norwegian wilderness.
Meanwhile, in the present day Norwegian town of Nybo, 17 year old Thale (Elli Rhiannon Müller Osborne) has recently moved into her new home with her family after her mother Liv (Liv Mjönes) transferred from her former job as a police officer in Oslo, to the local Nybo police force following the death of Thale's father. Thale partially blames her mother for her father's death and doesn't get along well with her stepfather Arthur (Vidar Magnussen). The only person she's still close with and cares for, is her deaf little sister Jenny (Mia Fosshaug Laubacher). While watching a horror movie with her, Thale receives a text from her high school friend Jonas (Sjur Vatne Brean), inviting her for a party in the woods near the bay with the other Nybo youth. Things don't go well at the party and Thale decides to leave early when she spots Jonas talking with Elin (Silje Øksland Krohne), the local mayor's daughter, in the woods by the bay. During their talk, Elin gets attacked by a creature in the dark and is injured. While Jonas backs away in fear, Thale attempts to help Elin, only to get injured herself as the beast slices her shoulder. Elin is dragged screaming into the woods and the local police and paramedics show up to the scene. While Jonas and Thale receive treatment, the police force including Thale's mother Liv and police chief Eilert (Øyvind Brandtzæg) search for Elin, finding only a bloody phone and a big torn-off claw.
The following day all people who attended the party are questioned by the police including Jonas and Thale as key eyewitnesses, however they claim not to know what kind of beast attacked them despite Liv's suspicion that the beast might've been a wolf. In the meantime Elin's mutilated body is found and undergoes an autopsy. The autopsy reveals that a big beast was responsible for the attack, however it could not be determined whether it was a wolf or not. To be sure, the police force calls in the help from an expert from the veterinary college William (Arthur Hakalahti). But before he can arrive, a mysterious one armed man named Lars (Ståle Bjørnhaug) visits the police station and claims to Liv that the beast is a werewolf which he had been tracking his entire life throughout Scandinavia. Liv doesn't believe the man and calls his claims disrespectful against the victim and her family before dismissing him. The man leaves, but not before giving her a silver bullet and telling her it's the only thing that can kill the beast. After the arrival of the vet and his conclusion that the murderous beast could indeed be an unusually large wolf based on the injuries of the victim and claw found on the scene, the victim's mother and mayor of Nybo Tove (Anna Drowak) vows vengeance against the beast and sends out a hunting party to kill it.
While the hunting party under the command of Liv and Eilert search the woods with the help of a tracking dog, Thale begins to have strange dreams and visions as her senses also seem to sharpen. In the meantime, the hunting party locates a headless corpse and determine it to be the beast's work. Liv orders two hunters to stay behind and guard the body as she and the rest of the party press on, following their tracking dog. The group are lead to an abandoned mine and Liv enters it, climbing down the mine she finds the missing head of the body they found earlier. At the same time the beast attacks the two hunters who were left behind near the body, killing them both. The group hear their screams, but before they can react the beast reaches them and kills two more members of the hunting party and seriously wounds Eilert. As Liv is climbing out of the mine, she stumbles upon the beast, now revealed to be a wolf, at the top of the ladder. The wolf lunges at her, causing her to fall down the mineshaft, breaking her wrist. The wolf stalks her as she crawls away, leading to Liv grabbing her gun and shooting the wolf, hitting it multiple times to no avail. Without ammunition, Liv finds herself at the mercy of the wolf, until she remembers the silver bullet which was giving to her by Lars. She loads it into her gun and fires it just as the wolf lunges in to attack her...
