What it's about

A group of students investigates a series of mysterious bear killings, but learns that there are much more dangerous things going on. They start to follow a mysterious hunter, learning that he is actually a troll hunter.

The take

Filmed as a “found footage” of a Norwegian college film crew investigating local poachers, this movie really surprised me. To be fair, I didn’t really know what to expect. But I definitely didn’t expect to like this movie as much as I did. The pacing is on point. The suspense hits you at just the right times. There are a few drops of humour trickled throughout to keep a smile on your face. And that’s how my face stayed when the credits rolled.

Comments

Great ‘fake documentary’ ‘found footage’ style story with relaxed but convincing acting. A fun and suspenseful subtitled movie from Norway. You will not care that the movie is subtitled. In fact, it would be much less entertaining if it were in English.
