TROLLHUNTER: trolls are really big

TROLLHUNTER is a fun mockumentory monster movie made in Norway. It is in the style of CLOVERFIELD, but more of a comedy (it is about Trolls after all) and much less trendy. The story is that three film students set out to bust a bear poacher. The man is Hans, not a bear poacher but a Trollhunter working for the government to cover up trolls existence. Of course, the students get a troll on film, while running from it, and team up with the hunter to get more footage, despite government officials warning them and him it's a bad idea.
Every scene is footage the students are getting on camera as they follow this hunter and capture several dangerous killings on tape. There isn't any really scary scenes, but the closest to that is the first night they follow the hunter out into the woods and first see a troll, because it has a long scene of them hiking around the trees in the dark just hearing creepy noises. That always gets me tense because I am just waiting for something to jump out. Of course, these Trolls don't really jump out at you, they smash through the trees and step on you.

I learned many things about Trolls from this movie.
1. They are allergic to sunlight.
2. They smell the blood of Christians and then go after them.
3. They like to eat tires.
4. They sprout additional heads as they get older.
5. They are really really big!

The viewing experience was a lot of fun. The audience was pumped up for the movie and cheered a lot, and since it is all subtitled the poor sound quality in the theater (Neptune, not so good) didn't affect it negatively. The Troll effects were pretty good. I liked the look they gave them, and the green countryside backdrop is nice. The characters are pretty transparent, with the exception of Hans, who is wonderfully grizzled and his growing disdain for the government that controls him gives the film its only real character development.
I liked the movie. It is a lot of fun. Beyond that, I pretty much thought it was silly fluff.
