Troll Hunter (4½ Stars)

There's been a lot of buzz about this film ever since it was released in 2010. Usually when a film receives a lot of hype I avoid it. Often the praise is exaggerated, or it's only based on spectacular special effects that barely disguise a poorly written story. In this case I had higher hopes. Simply because the film is Norwegian. Norway has a small film industry, so the stories that make it from screenplay to the screen are filtered. Only the best seep through.

I wasn't disappointed. "Troll Hunter" imitates the style of "Blair Witch Project". We see an amateur film crew from Volda College following a man called Hans who claims to be a troll hunter working for an official government agency. At first they are sceptical, but as they follow him they see the proof of his words.

I can't really say much about the film to recommend it. Just watch the trailer.
