Movies on a Budget: The Trollhunter

WATCH THE TROLLHUNTER ON NETFLIX

Netflix Summary: Three students enter the Norwegian woods to film a documentary on a bear poacher named Hans. When they find him, he claims that bear hunting is just a ruse, and that he actually tracks trolls for the Norwegian government! This footage captures the trio as they follow Hans deep into the forest. If the hunter’s story is true, they’ll have the makings of the best student film in history.

You’ll like The Trollhunter if you liked: Cloverfield, Quarantine.

Avoid The Trollhunter if: you get motion sickness easily, or got a headache while watching either of the two movies listed above. Also, worth noting is that the film is in Norwegien, so if you don’t like reading subtitles, you might consider skipping out on this.

One Sentence Review: Set against the beautiful backdrop of Norway’s countryside, Trollhunter impresses with CGI, and keeps you interested with the lore of the troll’s existence.
