They love it. We want it. Three red-hot releases
“Troll Hunter is Norway’s answer to the ‘found footage’ trend. It’s funny and absorbing, more akin to a comic This Is Spinal Tap mockumentary than a terrifying Paranormal Activity horror. Otto Jespersen is wonderfully deadpan as Hans, a government worker whose job killing trolls involves long hours and low pay, so he confides in three amateur filmmakers. The movie also shows off the lush Norwegian landscape.”
