BAD FILM!!!!!
Here's my review -
The producers of "Trollhunter" decided to cash in on the whole "found footage" thing that has been a hit in recent years, and made a movie about these college kids who follow around a hunter who hunts trolls for a living. B-rated? You bet it is. The film tries to play of like it's real, and like you the viewer are watching someone's home videos of this dude hunting giant trolls in the woods. And that's pretty much it.
The film is a foreign film, it's from Norway, but there are options on the language section on the blu-ray to where you can listen to the English dubbed version of the film if you don't speak Norwegian or if you're not interested in reading English subtitles. There is also an option where you can set the film up to whenever the film shows Norwegian text on the screen, it will show translated English text.
In all honesty, the film sounded entertaining enough for me to rent, and this movie just stunk. I was so bored, I couldn't finish it. Again, it's like watching strangers home videos for the most part, and it's just boring. I didn't find any of the characters interesting. And then when we see the dude hunting the troll, it's only slightly entertaining the first time. After that, I was ready to stop the film. I think this film would have worked MUCH better as a short film that lasts only thirty minutes, but it doesn't. It's 90 minutes, and for a movie about trolls, that is way too long. This film is VERY slow for the most part, and then when the action picks up, it just shows us the same old boring thing every time of the guy killing trolls.
I just can't get into the whole troll thing. I don't take trolls seriously. I'm open-minded to the fact that maybe God, aliens, ghosts, and demons might exist. Heck, even Bigfoot might exist, but TROLLS!? REALLY?? Seriously?
I just consider trolls to be a childish thing. i.e. A childish form of entertainment, and I think only maybe kids would be entertained by this movie. Like *maybe* boys between the ages of 10-14 would be ideal. I can't recall the film having a lot of bad language, or much gore. But it's not a serious adult horror film.....at all. It's just stupid and cheesy and I've seen too many good and scary found footage films to take a movie about freaking trolls seriously.
On a personal note - The film is not only unrealistic because of the troll concept, but it's also HIGHLY unrealistic because even if this film was real, Norwegians would NEVER hunt trolls. Norway is a very liberal country and they would consider trollhunting to be cruel and unusual punishment, and the Norwegian government would say that everyone deserves a second chance, even trolls, and they would just capture trolls and bring them to their cushy prison they have by the beach for rehabilitation.
