What I've learned from watching Trollhunter


1) If your body can't break down vitamine D, you will explode. Or turn to stone (depends on how old you are) and this appears to be a very traumatic experience which will last for the rest of your short life.

2) Even though faith is just a state of mind, trolls can sense it through telepathy even though their IQ is lower than that of a potato.

3) As you're hiding from a nearby troll, yell "HEY!" to your friends only to tell them "Ssssht".

4) When your Christian cameraman get's eaten by a troll, simply replace him with a Muslim. That should do the trick.

5) Trolls look suspiciously much like CGI.

6) To take a troll's blood-sample, throw blood from a religious man in front of him (because religion is encoded within DNA), then walk behind him and yell "HEY!" before you stab him with the syringe.

7) People place fake bear footprints with their own bodyweight, yet footprints from 100 meters tall trolls can somehow go unnoticed to the public.

All of these complaints are silly. It was horror/comedy. The director had his tongue firmly planted in his cheek.

The troll CGI wasn't perfect but it was perfectly fine. Not all movies can afford millions or tens of millions. This was obviously a low budget film.

Replacing the christian with a muslim was one of the funnier scenes/parts of the film.

It's not known for certain if the trolls can smell christians. It's just sort of assumed they can by Hans and is again part of the tongue in cheek nature of the film.

I guess it's all ok if you can suspend disbelief. :)

The thing about being able to "smell Christian man's blood" is rooted in Norwegian folklore ("Lukte kristenmannsblod" in Norwegian).

This sentence has nothing to do with what I just have written above.
