9/10 - Trollll!!! Docked a point for wobble-cam, but this was really fun. It would be interesting to know just how little these kind of CGI effects cost these days...?
Re: Troll Hunter
Troll Hunter was a cracking way to start day 3 with some great characters, tasty folklore and excellent monster design keeping it fresh and interesting. I'm glad that a few of the Billy Goats Gruff survived. TROLLLL!

Re: Troll Hunter
Superb film. Favourite one of the day and delighted to see it on the biggest of big screens.
Re: Troll Hunter
Complete disappointment for me, needed a good 10 minutes chopped from the runtime to improve the pace. 6/10

Re: Troll Hunter
Loved it - great fun and the cgi was very nicely done. Was a bit put off by the found footage shakey cam but it actually worked fine.I thought it was ok in terms of timing
8/10

You're scared of mice and spiders, but oh-so-much greater is your fear that one day the two species will cross-breed to form an all-powerful race of mice-spiders, who will immobilize human beings in giant webs in order to steal cheese.
Re: Troll Hunter
I had already seen this at Somerset House but I think it's a wonderful film. Nice to see something different and very impressive for their budget.
Re: Troll Hunter
Really liked this an definitely one of my faves of the weekend.
Re: Troll Hunter
Loved it, funny, full of action, and quite imaginative and inventive with the 4 different types of Troll in the movie.
Lots of good movies from Norway at FF in the last few years - Cold Prey, Manhunt, Dead Snow and now Troll Hunter.

I'd accidentally read a couple of reviews of Troll Hunter because I didn't realise it was on at FF.... they were quite "mixed", so as it turned out the film far exceeded my expectations.
I generally like the "found footage" kind of film anyway, but I think this made a very nice transition from mockumentary to having a really strong storyline as the film progressed. I found myself caring a lot more about the characters than I did in many more "serious" films in the festival.
Add in the great CGI, awesome sound design and the beautiful Norwegian scenery and this was an absolute winner.
Re: Troll Hunter
I love my monster movies and I loved this beyond thought possible, truly funny and witty in places with some great sights to behold.

Awesome fun - in my top 5 for the festival
Re: Troll Hunter
Blair Witch meets Hans-Christian Andersen in this fun and intriguing Norwegian fable that treats its material with sincerity. I preferred this to The Host. I liked the satirical / social commentary and was impressed by the special effects. A good opener for the day and my only real quibble was the lack of fallout after the death of one of the characters. 8.5 / 10
No tears, please. It's a waste of good suffering.
