It took me a while to get a chance to see this film, an what a film it is. After a rash of bear deaths in Norway occurs, a group of three college students decide to investigate. They stumble upon a hunter named Hans, who, at first, tries to get away from them, but then agrees to have them film everything as long as they follow his orders.
The soon discover that Hans is a Troll Hunter who is working for a very secret Government organization, and he is seeking several dangerous trolls who have escaped from their territory and are wondering free. At first the students refuse to believe this until they are confronted by a three headed troll that Hans saves them from.
As the hunt goes on, the students become more and more frightened and interested at the same time. The final troll Hans must battle is over 200 feet tall and it, like all of the other troll are a marvel to behold. They actually look real, that is how good the effects are.
The movie really keeps the viewers attention from start to finish. This is how films should be made. The cold and desolate scenery in and around Norway adds to the eerie atmosphere of the entire film. Made in the "lost/found footage" genre, this is done much better than others such as "Diary Of The Dead" or "Blair Witch Project". I like those films as well, but this is just done so much better.
This is only the second film I have ever seen made in Norway. It's a powerful and brilliant film that has many moments you'll never forget.
