The government says there’s nothing to worry about – it’s just a problem with bears making trouble in the mountains and forests of Norway. But local hunters don’t believe it – and neither do a trio of college students who want to find out the truth. Armed with a video camera, they trail a mysterious “poacher,” who wants nothing to do with them. But their persistence lands them straight in the path of the objects of his pursuits: Trolls. They soon find themselves documenting every move of this grizzled, unlikely hero – The Troll Hunter – risking their lives to uncover the secrets of creatures only thought to exist in fairy tales.

“Follows the lead of pre-eminent monster movies like Jaws and Alien… an original and highly assured fusion of B-movie lore and fairy-tale
terror.” - David Rooney, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
“Embellishes the candid, caught-on-video format to thrilling effect… Ovredal gives us the goods… You know the illusion is working when the characters walk into a big empty cave midway through the movie and the audience holds its collective breath.” - Peter Debruge, VARIETY
“Rich and distinctive flavor… it always has another surprise up its
sleeve… You never stop believing what you’re seeing.” - Michael Gingold, FANGORIA
“Brings new life to the genre… Breathtaking scenery and fantastic effects… If you get an opportunity to see this, TAKE IT! You will not be disappointed.” - Calebson, DREAD CENTRAL
