Troll Hunter

Directed by André Øvredal

Following recent popular Nordic movies Let The Right One In and Dead Snow, André Øvredal’s Troll Hunter is an epic monster chiller with a fresh and darkly funny take on Norwegian mythology and folklore.

Using The Blair Witch Project mockumentary style, this thrilling tale follows a group of students on their way into the wild, as they film their investigation into a series of mysterious bear attacks. They come across Hans, an unlikely hero and seasoned troll hunter who shows them an unseen world of nefarious troll activity. The haunting beauty of the Norwegian countryside alongside impressive character design, reminiscent of Where the Wild Things Are, makes Troll Hunter a genuinely uncanny experience which will make you question your grip on reality.
