Trollhunter is a mockumentary with an appropriate level of creeping dread, but one that also benefits from generous helpings of dry wit.

The film is shot with handheld cameras in the standard mockumentary style, but the content is often hilarious, especially when the trolls show up. Dec 13, 2011 | Full Review…

Jespersen is a veteran comedian and he uses all his gravitas and dry wit to make us care about a lonely man on the verge of a crisis of faith. Sep 9, 2011 | Rating: 4/5

The scenes involving the trolls themselves are spectacular, but somehow not scary exactly: they look too absurd for that. Sep 8, 2011 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Given that the cast improvised all the scenes live on set, the dialogue has a surprising ring of truth, and is shot through with an unexpected, often unsettling, humour. Sep 7, 2011 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

hardly the first film to lend authenticity to the utterly implausible by mimicking the modalities of reportage (see The Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield), but it is distinguished by both a deep seam of deadpan humour and a strong sense of place. Aug 30, 2011

It's so steeped in troll and paranoia lore, it risks boring you with the details at times. But it also makes you more inclined to believe it, and the frights are real enough. Aug 19, 2011 | Rating: 2.5/4

Overall, Trollhunter isn't the most fast-paced or sweat-inducing of the recent pack of naturalistic low-budget horror films. However, it is perhaps the drollest, driest and most effects-laden of the bunch. Feb 14, 2019 | Rating: B | Full Review…

The Blair Witch Project followed some scared students into the woods. Trollhunter brings all sorts of professions in on the project, showing what can happen when fairy tales come true. Jan 8, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Øvredal might not have succeeded in making a great film, but his ambition has to be respected. His use of the Norwegian landscape, particular in the final snow drift showdown were nothing short of awesome. Nov 26, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

You won't be able to resist its satiric blend of government conspiracy and old Norse mythology. May 23, 2018 | Full Review…

A leisurely, shambling, deadpan movie about a man who finds trolls and kills them. That's enough. Jun 23, 2013 | Rating: B | Full Review…

Not nearly as much fun as it might have been, neither consistently funny nor remotely scary. Jan 14, 2013 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…
