Troll Hunter (Trolljegeren)
Why do we not believe in trolls? The answer is that it is effectively hidden by the Norwegian government. The secret is soon to be discovered by a group of students filming their first documentary about a series of unlawful bear shootings. Thomas and his camera crew repeatedly run into mysterious loner Hans, whom they decide to follow. Unwisely, as it happens, for Hans works for the top secret Troll Security Service, and a rogue Ringlefinch is on the loose. The film is filled with humour and witty comments and parallels to old myths about trolls. In well known Blair Witch Project style the thrilling mock documentary is ready to persuade you that trolls do exists. Are you a Christian? Beware, the trolls can smell your blood!
