A trio of Norwegian film students set out to film a documentary about a rogue bear hunter but in chasing him around Norway, find he hunts something rather larger.
Filmed documentary style a convincing cast beautifully capture an amateur feel to the documentary filming. The troll Hunter is especially convincing as a grizzly old man fed up with his job.
The Norwegian troll myths are used to bring depth and variety to the trolley themselves, often seen and brilliantly realised but not so heavily that plot paradox or keeping up become a problem.
Norway is heavily travelled in the film so it does feel very much troll Hunter, not troll hunted and this is perhaps the surprise of the film. Scenes where you would expect tension typically undermine themselves with a witty remark that has everyone laughing. A really fun entertaining film if you can find it on DVD.
