So I just watched the 2010 movie, 'The Troll Hunter' last night, and I did a review for GUNAXIN.com, which will be up as soon as it is... up. I don't really control these things (Here's the review, up as of Wednesday- Ed.). But I will give you a little excerpt. Hey, it is FOUND HORROR after all... and I did find this gem. Enjoy!
"... We all know the lore. We've all heard fairy tales of the Billy Goats Gruff and the, "Fee Fi Foe Fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman...". Well, oddly, they're all true. André Øvredal has created a masterpiece that will literally make your blood run cold at the prospect of real trolls actually existing... anywhere. But thank goodness this film takes place entirely in Norway and within its encompassing beautiful rolling hills, vast farmland, and stunning forests. If their intention wasn't to --even a little bit-- spark the Norwegian tourism industry, well, bravo in covering it up so well because the landscape with is breathtaking.
But what of the trolls? The film's suspense isn't thinned for a second, and in true First-Person perspective (the camera shots) and a not-so thinly-veiled homage to 'The Blair Witch Project' or even 'Cloverfield', we get the feeling that the trolls aren't just out there loafing around, but are lumbering hulks with no conscience and appetites for, of all things, rocks and it feels like you are along for every second of the ride..."
So there ya go! Go find this movie!
