Troll Hunter

Disappointment is a bitter flavour. Unlike the rest of the world, I’m still madly fond of the found-footage genre (though Dairy of the Dead really tested me), so I’ve been more than ecstatic to witness Troll Hunter, a mockumentary biopic of a Norwegian badass who, as can be inferred, hunts trolls. It’s a rare technique to pull off both a straight face whilst keeping tongue-in-cheek, but this is the film’s biggest strength. Well, that, and the shit-holy massive trolls that smack the gob. Unfortunately, presenting itself as a rough cut, Troll Hunter’s haphazard editing almost completely rips up the pacing.

WATCHABLE
