Troll Hunter (With Lenticular Sleeve)

I have never been a fan of these "hand held video camera" type of films; (Blair Witch, Cloverfield etc) so I sat down to watch Troll Hunter with mixed feelings, however it proved to be very good and thankfully the home movie feel to it actually added to the experience! Also, I normally watch these foreign films in the original language with subtitles as I feel the lip syncing is usually way off and distracts me from the film, but as this is filmed in the hand held video camera style the lip syncing isn't as noticeable and therefore you can watch the English dubbed version without too much trouble.
The film is pretty straightforward; couple of kids follow & pester a "Grizzly Adam's" type character who eventually allows them to accompany him & film his exploits, namely hunting trolls. As is often with this style of filming, I was worried that the trolls would only make fleeting appearances and these would be shaky images filmed in near darkness but NO! when they appear they are very clear and brilliantly realised with some genuine effort to create believeable monsters.
Great film, bags of character & atmosphere...lets hope Hollywood don't lose this in the inevitable remake!

For those of you who are not Norwegian (as I am); this is a primarily a subtle comedy, secondarily an adventure thriller. So don't go expecting Blair Witch or anything like that. It is a fun and beautiful adventure set in some of Norways most scenic areas.

I waited too long to see this - a little sceptical of the whole troll hunting theme. Turned out to be the most fun and original movie I've seen in a very long time!

there is one word that describes this movie and you can probably guess what that word is. I cant believe it is rated so highly, I would never under any circumstances watch it again. It was painful to watch and I feel sorry for those that have to watch it again. Thankyou Alfred

This film is awful from start to finish, dont waste your time!
