Troll Hunter

What to say?  It's a mocumentary "found film" about three Norwegian students trying to track down a bear poacher.  Instead, they find something infinitely more interesting: a government-sponsored professional hunter who tracks down and eliminates trolls that have gone off Norway's remote troll reservations. Think Blair Witch Project without the profanity but with a good dose of humor.  A little too scary for the under-10 set, but lots of fun for anyone over that age.  Here's Rotten Tomatoes' take on the matter.  The best part perhaps is the twisted logic of the whole thing, the blending of clichéd troll fairytales with numerous "Holy crap!  That's a big damn animal!" moments.
My score: Three good big goofy fun stars.
