Troll Hunter: Blu Ray Review

Troll Hunter

Rating: M
Released by Madman Home Ent

A Norwegian handheld spooky/ kooky flick, Troll Hunter follows a group of students who’re (so they believe) on the hunt for a poacher called Hans who’s supposedly taking out bears around the countryside.

Only when they follow him, they soon discover he’s a government sanctioned operative who’s actually hunting down trolls and preventing them from attacking the natives….

Troll Hunter is a giddy schlocky pleasure with some pretty good main performances from the largely unknown cast.  Sure, some of the effects of the trolls are a little ropey in places but thanks to the solid ensemble, a nice use of the handheld camera format and a bit of tongue in cheek action, it’s actually very watchable.

And you should watch it now – as inevitably a Hollywood remake is on the way too.
