** As a CallBack to the above, the vikings' leader utters a single word when he and his warriors have the villager, and later Brendan and Aiden, cornered (it sounds like "Sskowf"). It's the only recognizably repeated word in the northmen's BlackSpeech, and with context it becomes clear that it means "kill them". The second time, the viking leader gives such a heinous order without even bothering to look over his shoulder.

** This needs elaboration: Aisling helps Brendan find Crom Cruach's cave, but partway in, the ceiling starts collapsing, prompting Aisling to hold it up while Brendan makes his way further in. After getting to relative safety, Brendan turns back to see her, now weakened and emaciated, and we get that ''lovely'' view of her [[NightmareFace face]] [[JumpScare for just a second]] before the cave collapses on her.

** Special mention should go to the fate of most of the abbey's inhabitants. While Cellach is injured and mistaken for dead by everyone until the attack is over and Tang and a number of others are safe in the tower because the scaffolding collapsed, everyone else--including the other named characters who make up a considerable number of the cast--was in the sanctuary, sitting and praying for deliverance by candlelight. The last we see of them is looks of shock as the Vikings break down the door and someone screams in terror.

* This movie does ''not'' gloss over the destructiveness of the Viking raiders, and while [[GoryDiscretionShot most actual deaths happen offscreen]], it makes it painfully clear that an incredible number of people were killed. [[EldritchAbomination Crom Cruach]] is also quite likely to scare the pants off unsuspecting viewers.
