Anyone else discover the little gem that is Troll Hunter on Netflix? It's a "found footage" flick that's pretty amusing.

No offense but why do you think this is a bad movie?

Oh, it's not, but I didn't think it was the usual fare for the "Good Movies" forum, either. It appeals to much more of a niche audience.

I saw it, it was pretty fun.  They did a great job of making something as silly as trolls seem serious.   :thumbup:

I loved that movie. I went to see it at a theater in Portland a few years back. Lots of fun!
This is my awesome signature.  Jealous?

I love how trolls can smell your religious affiliation.  :bouncegiggle:

Lol!  That was brilliant.  I thought the cover ups with the Russian bears was funny.

I've seen Troll Hunter several times now, it's officially one of my new favorite movies. I love the work they did on those trolls, they're wonderfully ugly to look at; whoever came up with the sounds these things make should also get major credit because my ears were nearly blown out by the end, it just sounds big:teddyr:. I enjoyed the fact that you get to see more than one type of troll, each with a different habitat- including underneath a bridge- plus the reason given for why trolls turn to stone in daylight was also pretty cool to think about.

Just caught it on Netflix, and it didn't do much to me. It has its moments, and the troll design is great, but overall I found it too predictable and by-the-numbers to be really interesting. Also, the suspense is rather tame.
