"I once saw a troll try to
eat its own tail. His head between his legs, he tried to suck
down his own tail.
He started gagging on it, tipped over, and
rolled down a hill like a wheel." –
Hans, trolljegeren
Why watch this? This
dark, "found footage" film from Norway might just scare you a
bit!
Plot Summary: A
group of university students investigating mysterious bear
killings in rural Norway discovers that the truth behind the
deaths. They encounter a reclusive man who reveals himself to be
a government-employed troll hunter, tasked with keeping the
existence of these fantastical creatures a secret from the
public. The students then join the weary hunter on his dangerous
mission, documenting his encounters with various types of
trolls.
Dad's Preview:
I am completely interested in the fabled history of Norwegian
troll legends. Who knew these creatures live in mountains and
woodlands; that they they eat rocks; that they can smell the
blood of Christians? This film is a wonderful marriage between
the realms of reality and fantasy. It employs impressive, moody special effects
that bring these mysterious creatures to life right before your
skeptical eyes.
