Every October I celebrate the glorious holiday of Halloween by watching a horror movie every day of the month. We are a couple days in so I have some catching up to do. I started the month watching Troll Hunter. This film is straight out of Norway so if you are not into subtitles you may not dig it.
A lot of 3 students go out to investigate a series of weird bear killings. However they soon figure out that there are some shenanigans going on and the bears are simple pawns in something WAY bigger. They follow a guy who is suppose to be a bear poacher, learning that he is actually a troll hunter.
I'll admit I've gotten a bit tired of the "found footage" genre. Aside from the silly we found this footage blah blah blah it's not doctored text stuff before the film I completely forgot that this was a found footage thing. I found myself enthralled with finding out who the mysterious hunter was and then the excitement of seeing the first troll... awesome! From there it just gets better. The trolls were seamlessly placed into the real world and they all looked soooo amazing. Clever story and brilliant animation brought this story to life. If you have Netflix it's on there streaming. Watch it ya'll. 4 Stars for this lil' gem.
This movie was awesome! I like how they explain the trolls existence using purely scientific terminology. I totally agree with you on the special effects being seamless and the documentary format wasn't annoying at all. I gave it 4.5 stars. Great review, Leia! =)
