The Troll Hunter - Official Trailer



The Swedes have been getting some international recognition recently with 'Let The Right One In' and the 'Millenium' trilogy, the Finnish have brought the world 'Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale' (now with Hollywood voiceover http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pH9IyqTk1E) and now the it's the Nords turn to bring out the trolls and hopefully have a monster hit!

Another mockumentary where a group of filmmakers go looking for trouble and find more than they expected (see also Blair Witch, Rec and Last Exorcism), this looks fun, funny and maybe... just maybe, a little scary! Cracked camera lenses, night vision, characters talking direct to camera and shaky handheld shots are all present in the trailer and hopefully will give this some sense of realism that the dodgy effects, silly monsters and funny dialogue may detract from.

Hope this gets a UK release!

  1. Don't forget the Icelandic people, the film Mýrin (Jar city is the english title). A dark and brooding thriller/drama about murder and corrupton in small town Iceland based of the series by Arnaldur Indriðason. (trailer:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSdkE6CX9n4).

  2. Now I'm thinking another Icelandic film that I really liked is 101 Reykjavik. First watched it due the amazing Tag Line: 30° below zero, five hours of daylight, what else can you do but get wrecked. It is a brillantly crafted black comedy about relationships.
