When bears are found dead in Norway, the students of the Volda University Thomas (Glenn Erland Tosterud), Johanna (Johanna Mørck) and the cameraman Kalle (Tomas Alf Larsen) decide to investigate. They stalk the trailer of the mysterious hunter Hans (Otto Jespersen) expecting to find an explanation for the killings. The reluctant Hans tries to flee from the youngsters, but he agrees that they film him in action provided the follow his orders. Sooner the trio of students learns that Hans is actually a troll hunter that works for a secret government agency. Further, several dangerous trolls have escaped from their territory and Hans is assigned to eliminate them.
"Trolljegeren" has an original and promising storyline that explores the Norwegian legend of the Trolls. The explanations of Hans about the creatures are cynical and witty, and Otto Jespersen has an excellent performance. Unfortunately the feature is poorly executed, using the "Blair Witch Project" style that is presently one of the most used and boring clichés in the cinema industry. Further, the joke with Christians is silly, stupid and never works. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "O Caçador de Troll" ("The Troll Hunter")
