Trollhunter (2010)

Norwegian 'found footage' style film concerns a group of student film makers hunting down a suspected bear poacher, only it turns out that this mysterious man known only as 'Hans' (Otto Jesperson) is in fact not a poacher, but an agent of the Norwegian government tasked with hunting down out of control Trolls, whose existence the government is trying to keep secret. The conceit of the film is fun and creative, it's spin on the mythology of trolls well thought out, and the execution well done visually and otherwise (though I for one would have asked Hans better questions then these student filmmakers did). Enjoyably unique. **1/2
