Killian's Chronicle: The Magic Stone

About This Movie

Killian's Chronicle: The Magic Stone is a quirky little adventure flick from 1995 that takes you on an unexpected journey back to a Viking-era North Atlantic. The story revolves around Kilian, an Irish slave who finds himself in a bit of a pickle after stealing a mystical navigating stone. What’s interesting here is the way it portrays the indigenous people of America, rescuing Kilian and teaching him how to survive in this strange new world. The practical effects have that charming, low-budget feel that adds a nice layer of authenticity, and the pacing has its off moments but carries you through the fantastical narrative. The performances are a mixed bag, but there's a certain earnestness that shines through, making it memorable in its own right.
