“TrollHunter” (2010)
If you’re into stuff like Hellboy/B.P.R.D., check it out.
It uses the same “found footage” angle as “Blair Witch,” “Paranormal Activity,” “Quarantine,” and “Apollo 18,” but the camera work is actually pretty solid; helps that they’re shooting in some damn beautiful parts of Scandinavia.

TROOOOOOLL!
It is one of the things on Netflix streaming worth watching more than once.

Netflix instant watch has stepped up their collection and this is definitely in the must watch section.
Be sure to check out “Bronson,” Tom Hardy’s most brilliant work he’ll probably ever do.
HDNET Movies channel showed this a few months back on one of their free preview events, where they show a movie before it hits theaters. I DVRed it, not expecting much, but it’s actually a really fun movie. Surprisingly good special effects and an interesting story.
Yeah, I’d also highly recommend it.
This movie was fuckin cool. Funny at times, and even a little scary at times as well. Well worth your time.
In order to appreciate the movie closer to what its makers intended, try to imagine Bill Murray playing the part of the Troll Hunter.
That is a level of awesome I don’t think my mind can comprehend, but now that you’ve said it, some Hollywood/Toronto exec will try and get an English language remake to happen.
Last I read (I think on Darkhorizons.com), they are writing and creating an American version…
Fuck, NO. I’m sad to be American sometimes – we don’t need to bastardize and ruin everything. SHIT. D:<
I would have liked it if not for the “reality filming” aspect. It’s a stupid trope and should be discarded. The acting, effects and and general plot would totally have pulled this film into re-watchable status for me otherwise. Oh, and I’m not complaining about the camera work- it was never a problem for the viewer, like BlairW. or Cloverfield, it’s just that the format itself demands certain things of the plot and how a story has to be told. Stupid things. The “Dude, this shit is probably as true story” message at the opening. The “Undetermined Fate of the Protagonists” is equally useless.
