Trolljegeren

Clearing stuff off the old Sky+ box I came across the Norwegian film Trolljegeren (Troll Hunter) that I recorded last year but hadn't got around to watching yet, so with SWMBO out I did.

Filmed, Blair Witch Style, as a mockumentary with hand held "discovered" camera footage, it tells the story of a group of Norwegian film students who find the bear poacher they have tracked down is actually a secret government sanctioned troll hunter.

Whilst the effects are a bit low budget in parts, it is a hugely entertaining film and well worth watching. As the group encounter various different trolls throughout Norway I couldn't help thinking what a great game this would make!

  3. I love how the student presenter looks so much like Dec. I wonder if he fed Ant to the trolls to give him time to get away.

  4. Oh, and the fact that they got the actual Norwegian prime minister to do a cameo. Awesome.

  6. I love Troll Hunter - it's a under-rated film. I really like how it's a bit tongue-in-cheek, but still scary/intimidating in places.

    Snap! I've pondered running some sort of skirmish/adventure based on the Troll Hunter premise too :-)

  10. Great movie. I can also recommend "Rare Exports" as another under-rated nordic gem.
