#170 - Trollhunter (2010)

A Norwegian mockumentary about a... guess.

A Blair Witch-style college documentary three-person film team follows a man who they think is poaching bears, but is, in "reality", the best field worker for the TSS (Troll Security Service), a secret government organization to rid the country of its trolls.

It's a funny premise (I especially like the part in the movie where the man is hunting the troll who lives under the bridge) and I enjoyed the whimsy (yes, whimsy) that accompanies all the actual trollhunting and trolldisposing.  I would have enjoyed this movie a lot more had it not been a midnight showing of the 14th movie I saw at the fest this year.  Its faux-documentary style worked against it in ways, as though I were watching a very late-late news report.  But that being said, I enjoyed it very much, and it certainly falls at least in the middle of the pack of Midnight Movies at the State.

Score: 7.0/10
