2010 - THE TROLL HUNTER aka TROLLIJEREGEREN


Would be Michael Moore filmmakers have stumbled on to a cover-up.  The Norwegian government has been eliminating trolls and keeping it a secret from the public.



Troll Hunter is in the "found footage" genre of films.  Hand held camera work made to look like a PBS Frontline special.  This is a horror film with a very underground sense of humor.  It's played with a straight face and filmed in some very good looking Norwegian  locations.


Normally I don't care for this kind of film, I prefer my camera mounted on a tripod, however in this film the annoying shaky camera movement and the night photography kind of works for this nonsense.


I still feel that these phony documentary films are of a "Johnny One Note" kind of film making.  What kind of film do you make after this?  A film with a camera mounted on a steadicam?

Thought The Troll Hunter U/V gun was very cool.

103 minutes.
