André Øvredal’s thrilling mockumentary THE TROLL HUNTER has been enjoying a limited theatrical stint in the U.S. for the last five days or so. And even though the flick won’t tour the U.K. until September, Empire Online has snaked a fresh quad-poster for the Norwegian import. Yup, you’re making eyes with that bastard above!
Shot in a vérité style, TROLL HUNTER is the story of a group of Norwegian film students that set out to capture real-life trolls on camera after learning their existence has been covered up for years by a government conspiracy. A thrilling and wildly entertaining film, TROLL HUNTER delivers truly fantastic images of giant trolls wreaking havoc on the countryside, with darkly funny adherence to the original Norwegian folklore.
Otto Jespersen, Hans Morten Hansen, Tomas Alf Larsen, Johanna Mørck and Glenn Erland Tosterud all play a part in the picture.
THE TROLL HUNTER is still playing in select theaters. It then hits shelves on August 23rd. Pre-order the flick on DVD HERE, Blu-ray HERE.
