Movie Details: The government says there’s nothing to worry about – it’s just a problem with bears making trouble
The government says there’s nothing to worry about – it’s just a problem with bears making trouble in the mountains and forests of Norway. But local hunters don’t believe it – and neither do a trio of college students who want to find out the truth. Armed with a video camera, they trail a mysterious “poacher,” who wants nothing to do with them. But their persistence lands them straight in the path of the objects of his pursuits: Trolls.

"The film is shot with handheld cameras in the standard mockumentary style, but the content is often hilarious, especially when the trolls show up. There's also a marvelous deadpan comic performance by Otto Jespersen as a troll-hunter and tireless dispenser of troll lore." ... Read full review

The acting is good and the camera work isTrollhunter is a lot fun and a truly unique film in the found footage and mockumentary sub-genre. The acting is good and the camera work is just the right level between look found footage quality and watchable. Additionally, the premise of a man being a trollhunter for the government is really cool to watch unfold, as are the history and lore of the trolls various tribes in Norway. In this sense, the film is perfect. However, it is held back by simply not being too scary and by being found footage. I am not a huge fan of the style and here, it is used very well, but is just too much at times, especially when they are running. That said, the creature design is great and the film's characters work well even if they have no depth (not that they should for this type of film). Above all, it is a good bit of fun and is quite well made. Overall, Trollhunter makes the grade.… Expand

The problem with TrollHunter is that you can't tell when the comedy begins and the drama of a situation ends. Don't get me wrong there are some very funny lines like "Why couldn't he just say he was Christian." However these funny moments are rare leaving me to question the exact intentions of such a silly silly concept.… Expand
