The Troll Hunter is the story of a group of Norwegian film students that set out to capture real-life trolls on camera after learning their existence has been covered up for years by a government conspiracy.

It’s obvious the film is wildly entertaining and thrilling. Reviewers are say it delivers truly fantastic images of giant trolls wreaking havoc on the countryside, with darkly funny adherence to the original Norwegian folklore.

The Troll Hunter was written and directed by André Øvredal. It stars Otto Jesperson, Glenn Erland Tosterud, Johanna Mørck, Tomas Alf Larsen, Urmila Berg-Domaas, and Hans Morten Hansen.

Birger Vestmo of the Norwegian Broadcasting Company gave the film six out of six points, and wrote that “a new Norwegian classic is born.” He also applauded the movie for combining Norwegian cultural elements with Hollywood cinematic flair.

I suggest that you read the subtitles because the dialogue is funny.
