Troll Hunter

I have watched this yesterday, and I am at a loss when I read the other reviews. The movie was really terrible. Was that a horror movie? I don't really want to go into the poor direction, the awful shaky camera sequences, the utter lack of any resemblance of any sort of plot, character development or likability, tension or originality. It suffices to say that they tried to explain with a straight face, through a veterinarian, that trolls explode when they are exposed to sunlight because they lack vitamin D, so they have a blood imbalance, their stomachs enlarge and... BOOM. This movie is childish rip-off of the Blair Witch Project, with a ridiculous government conspiracy theory embedded. The only reasons why I give three stars instead of zero are: 1. Hans is a sort of Norwegian super bad-ass, only interesting character (with a great final pose) 2. Humor is not completely lost 3. Troll effects are interesting, albeit not scary at all Two hours of my life completely wasted.

What a great piece of cinema mixing all the genres of how movies can be made - hand-held camera - full HD - special effects - night vision - WOW! No spoilers here. YOU MUST SEE THIS MOVIE. Forget Blair Witch, Cloverfield (haven't seen it) and all the other crap made about monsters - this is the ONLY one You Need to See! It also captures the beautiful landscape and soul of Norwegian wilderness mixed together with local and national humor. Never underestimate the power in the woods. You will never know what hit you unless you see a rock that looks like a face. The result is truly awesome and the timing for such an innovative film has never been better! GO SEE IT NOW!!!
