Berserker, Viking Madman in Utah

 It has been awhile. 1000 years, give or take. Bored Vikings departed Scandinavia for Iceland, Greenland, Newfoundland, and Utah. A millennium later, hunks and babes in states of undress will feel the wrath of these noble and brutish men. At least, that is the case in 1987's "Berserker," directed by Jefferson Richard. This film boasts of some nice looking 20 somethings engaging in pre-marital sex, and frolicking through the Utah wilderness. 

Through a demented Nordic bloodline, a Berserker (Viking madman) is loose in a Utah campground. This fiend dons a bear snout and sharp claws and shreds campers. As the film begins, a heartbreaking scene sees an elderly couple get torn to pieces by the thing. Enter six hunks and babes. Josh (Greg Dawson) is bringing five friends to the campground he spent his summers, as a kid. His main squeeze, Kristi (Shannon Engemann) has a great swimsuit scene, will be the first of the group to be torn to pieces In a passionate pre-marital sex scene, the nubile and naked Shelly (Beth Toussaint) and buff Mike (Joseph Alan Johnson) will be interrupted by primal screams and torn up body parts. Alas, Shelly will soon become a pile of torn up body parts.

Kathy (Valerie Sheldon), her boyfriend Larry (Rodney Montague) and Josh are now on the run. The trio is beset and wounded by the Viking thing. Oh yeah, a slow moving cop (John F. Goff) is kind of interested in rescuing them. Uh oh again...the park caretaker, Pappy (George Fowler) may know more about the creature than he should. There will be a classic scene in which the Berserker gets into a brawl with a real bear. All these people and creatures are on a collision course, and the nubile Kathy will scream nicely. As the teeth, claws, hunk and babe body parts fly, a showdown is brewing.

In Viking lore, are pre-marital sex, pot smoking, skinny dipping, and drunken debauchery frowned upon by the Berserker class? Why do nubile, scantily clad dames rarely fare well when a centuries old creature comes calling? Did the Viking culture have anything against the Mormon church? This is a bloody one and the death scenes are quite elongated. For some great cheesecake and beefcake, most of which will be shredded, see "Berserker."
