Even when you’ve have heard a lot of promising things about a film, you simply don’t know what to expect. It can leave you feeling deeply disappointed or simply walking away with shoulder-shrugging indifference. Or it can turn out to be an absolute cinematic joy. Troll Hunter falls into the last category. It has a simple premise: a group of young guerrilla film students set off to find an elusive hunter who, it seems, is killing all the rogue bears in the Norwegian mountains, to the chagrin of the licensed hunters in the area. When the students eventually track him down and follow him into the woods one night, the truth of his profession proves far more fantastical and terrifying than the students could ever imagine.
