Our take

If The Blair Witch Project opened the floodgates for mockumentary horror films, then this Norwegian creature feature from André Øvredal is among its most inspired descendants. With tremendous FX work belying its low budget, The Troll Hunter takes an adventurous leap into the annals of Nordic myth.
