Troll Hunter is fun little movie that finds the kid in all of us. Kind of a new twist on the ol' troll fairy tale with a couple of laughs thrown in. Let me first state that I despise most "found footage" movies. I dislike unbelievable reasons to record while your life is in danger, combined with everlasting amazing super-batteries and a final product that induces vomiting without the use of alcohol. Movies like "Cloverfield" had this flaw but pulled it off with better production values and good special effects. Trolls pulls off a more believable filming experience also incorporating some pretty cool creature effects. The plot, although not the deepest, plays out like a Jacques Cousteau documentary but on land with trolls of all sizes! (for you youngsters, Jacques Cousteu was the guy bringing us our "Shark Week" long before there was such a thing.) There is also a minor subplot which is weak and predictable, but doesn't hurt the film. I found the story new and refreshing and the effects did not disappoint.
