Monday Movie Review - TROLL HUNTER

If you don't get HD-NET TV, then do.  Once a month they spotlight an upcoming horror movie before it hits theaters.  And in June I got to see TROLL HUNTER.

It takes place in Norway, and features three college movie makers who are investigating (and filming) the recent rash of bear attacks on the general population.  They track down one old, grizzled man whom they believe is responsible for killing the bears, which are a protected species in their country.

Instead what they discover is far more appalling and mind-blowing.  The man is really a governmental appointed Troll Hunter (papers to be filled out and all!), and he's busy tracking down the enormous creatures who have escaped their usual habitat.

To say that the effects in this movie are phenomenal are understated.  There's not a lot of gore, but the film goes after you psychologically.  What really sold this movie to me is that I didn't know the actors, which makes the "seeing what they're seeing through their camera's eye" all that more believable.  Note there are some slow spots, but that's because the high action scenes leave you with your adrenaline pumping.

My recommendation?
