Full credit goes to Anthropophagus for this wonderful suggestion.
Every week (on a Monday), I will post a chosen contemporary horror film. You are required to post your thoughts, views, likes and dislikes of that film and if you would like to recommend it to your fellow HDC members (and visitors) or not.
For this inaugural week, I have chosen the wonderfully crafted Norwegian tale called
Trollhunter (2010).
The film was a novel take on the "found-footage" sub-genre which had boomed from the time the first
Paranormal Activity film hit the screens in 2007.
Why novel?
Because where most of such films centered on ghosts and paranormal phenomena, this film deviated from that particular mould and followed in the steps of
Cloverfield (2008).
It was a fresh, smart and interesting film, complete with some awesome jaw-dropping CGI effects and very believable "folklore" tales from that northern European country. By the end of the film, most unsuspecting viewers will end up concluding that trolls really do exist in Norway - such is the impact of this "documented" found footage.
