Troll Hunter

Troll Hunter is a fantastic film. It is in the "found-footage" or documentary style that has be used by such films as "The Blair Witch Project" or "Cloverfield". I guess it is a monster movie, though there are also threads of a mystery. It is tense, funny, epic and emotional, and though I think it misses a few times, it is still more often a hit that keeps you engaged throughout and warrants a viewing. Though this is a foreign language film, the sparing use of dialogue when you want to be looking at the screen helps a lot, so shouldn't put you off if you are the subtitle-warey.

Very Good

Troll Hunter starts slowly, but once it gets going it is very good. Low budget, but special effects are realistic. Much better than many of these types of films that I have seen. English dubbed, but done very well, it takes nothing away from the film at all. It is quite tense at times and can make you jump. Miles better than Blair Witch or Cloverfield! Only deducted one star as I don't think it is one that I could keep watching over and over again.

Believe the Troll Hunter hype!

Having seen an early trailer for Troll Hunter, and being really impressed by the look and feel of the film from that short taster, I had been really looking forward to seeing this on Blu-ray. The danger with high expectations is that it makes it tough for a film to live up to them - but not in the case of Troll Hunter. The film delivers on everything it promises: the performances are miles away from those found in Hollywood B-movies, the scenery is terrific, the cinematography perfect (both in the daylight and night scenes), the special effects are as good as those found in Lord of the Rings and the film delivers a few scares and intense moments, alongside doses of humour. I watch a lot of films and this is one of the best I've seen in a while, a genre masterpiece.

The Crunch

Troll Hunter

'If you go down to the woods today' - Just when none are there, four turn up at once... really enjoyable film with a little bit of edge. A well thought out monster flick that has a dark side to it. It takes a good 20 mins to get going but when the first troll appears the film takes off... Don't go crossing any bridges alone and without full wet weather gear.

brilliant.

As long as you realise that this film has its tongue firmly in cheek, you will not be disappointed. Troll Hunter is filmed in the 'discovered camcorder' style, with a low budget, compared to it's hollywood counterparts. Troll hunter is a funny, well shot film and even the CGI trolls are very well done.

TROOOLLL!!!

Scandinavia is becoming a hotbed of fantasy film making at the moment. Perhaps it's because Hollywood is running out of ideas and for most English speaking audiences the myths of other countries haven't been played out yet. With the Northern European countries producing their own skewed versions of the classic slasher movie, groundbreaking vampire movies and twisted Christmas tales, Troll Hunter is in great company. If you like the found footage horror of Blair Witch or Cloverfield or you're seeking suspense and action without the clichés of a big studio picture or if you want a horror film that isn't built on well trodden plot ideas, the mixture of thrills, terror and whimsy in this Norwegian effort will delight you. The combination of documentary style hand held footage and CGI monsters fits hand in glove, with the shaky camera-work adding to the veracity of the computer generated creatures. Troll Hunter offers a unique viewing experience, one where you can't predict the outcome based on previous viewing habits.
