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

vredal's movie has wittier ideas up its sleeve than the average "mock-doc" shocker, a genre it transcends through sheer originality. September 9, 2011 | Rating: 4/5 | 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. September 9, 2011 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The film begins strongly, but once past the half-hour mark loses energy and direction. September 9, 2011 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

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

It's a marvellous, sly film which, had it managed to be a little more frightening, would have been a masterpiece. September 8, 2011 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

It tries to be comedy; tries to be horror; staggers back and forth a little and then, getting into the swing of it, settles for just roaring a lot and knocking things over. September 16, 2019 | Full Review…

Troll Hunter had all the potential to be an entertaining, darkly funny and importantly unique entry into the 'found footage' sub genre. Instead, Øvredal has succeeded in producing a hugely disappointing, tired and clichéd also-ran. May 24, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

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. February 15, 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. January 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. November 27, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
