Story: A group of Norwegian students decide to make a documentary about a suspected bear poacher named Hans. But they soon discover that the things that Hans is hunting are not bears but something else...
My thoughts: This is one of the few great found footage movies out there. The characters are standard and the effects are good. The way the trolls look and act are amazing. And that the idea of there being a secret organisation in Norway that contains trolls so that they won't wonder outside their inhabited areas is interesting. Many of the old legends about trolls are present in the film as well. That they turn to stone (or explode) if they encounter sunlight, that they can smell the blood of a Christian, and that some live under bridges (as in one case where Hans tries to lure one out by placing three goats on the bridge). This movie is really good and I hope to see sequels or a remake of this in the future. I highly recommend this movie in either its original language or in the English dub.
My score: Five stars.
