Review-Troll hunter

Well I finally decided to give this movie a shot after finding it the other day, and I have to say after watching it that it is the finest "found footage" film that I have seen. A lot of great things come together and are done right in this film that found footage films in the United States seem to be unable to accomplish.

The basis of the plot concerns a group of filmmakers who are doing a documentary on some bear deaths in Norway. They then begin following a mysterious man who they find out is payed by the Norway's government to hunt and kill trolls so they can remain a mystery.

The acting in the movie is rather well done. Its nothing fancy, but I thought all the characters seemed genuine for the roles that they played. That's pretty much all I have to say on the acting

This movies effects are pretty good for a movie that appears to be low budget compared to most movies that come out today. The trolls all blend in the environment well, and while they do look unreal they also have a great lifelike feeling to them.

What I personally like best about the movie is that it explains stuff. Most found footage films are pretty vague on what is going on, but in "Trollhunter" we learn all about the different types of trolls and how they act. I feel like this movie really grabbed me with all myths about trolls and such and I really want to learn more about that.

"Trollhunter" unfortunately has had remake rights picked up here in the United States. Which means its probably going to be made into a generic found footage film that a bunch of preteen kids will like for a while, but whatever. As long as I can still watch this movie I think ill be content

4.5/5
