My Review-

Since this movie was almost like a mockumentary it was done really well, and by adding trolls into the mix was just awesome. With it being a foreign film and the first one I have seen from Norway it was pretty awesome, I loved how the trolls looked, who ever did the especial effects did a great job. it was a great mix of the comedy and adding just a little bit of the horror aspect, while keeping it a funny movie like it was supposed to be. The handheld footage was used well unlike some movies that can make people nauseous this one did not do that, it was not shaking a lot and it was very steady when it came to a lot of scenes in the movie. I read that they used a lot of unknown actors and some comedians from Norway and with them not doing much acting everyone did a really good job acting in the movie. There were some parts of the movie I felt were really funny and some parts that were done just right not to over do it because in my opinion they did not want to over do it. There was never really a dull moment in this film, it was slow at times but then it would automatically pick right back up into something awesome. This is one movie I would like to enjoy watching again. If you were ever interested in watching this movie check it out it is streaming on Netflix. The special effects are really good, the story line is awesome, so all around its a fun movie.
