Update: Listen to Jethal and Tock look back at Trollhunter for the Monster Club Podcast! (mp3 download)
The government says there’s nothing to worry about – it’s just a problem with bears making trouble in the mountains and forests of Norway. But local hunters don’t believe it – and neither do a trio of college students who want to find out the truth. Armed with a video camera, they trail a mysterious “poacher,” who wants nothing to do with them. However, their persistence lands them straight in the path of the objects of his pursuits: trolls. They soon find themselves documenting every move of this grizzled, unlikely hero – the trollhunter – risking their lives to uncover the secrets of creatures only thought to exist in fairy tales.
For the “Found Footage” Genre, it really doesn’t get better than this. A modest budget of just 2 million dollars (USD) bought a lot of movie. Norway has exploded onto the scene with a movie with character and better graphics than most of the library at the SyFy channel. Originally released in Norwegian, you can get it either subtitled in English, or English Dubbed (i’ve watched both).
If you are a fan of Fantasy, I highly recommend this one. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
