deadCENTER: TrollHunter
TROLL!!!!!
Usually a term for people on the internet with no life, but this time around it’s just a really fun movie.
TrollHunter is a Norwegian made movie that begins with a group of college students trying to capture a story about bear killings. They end up following Hans, whom they believe to be a bear poacher, as he makes his way deep into a Norwegian forest and it’s there that they discover a 30-foot troll with an insatiable desire to eat Christians… seriously.
The movie goes on to reveal that Trolls have been kept quiet by the Norwegian government for years and when an accident happens because of a troll, the government usually places the blame on bears. (Makes sense)
The entire film is shot like a found footage documentary, where there are odd breaks and violent shakes and the camera is more often missing the action instead of lining up perfect shot. But unlike movies like Cloverfield, Quarantined and even the Blair Witch Project, TrollHunter makes the experience enjoyable and not as frantic as the others.
TrollHunter was a true highlight for me at deadCENTER as it was the final film I saw and it gave the entire festival, which was perhaps at its best in its 11-year history, a very satisfying ending.
