Troll Hunter

Director: André Øvredal
Actors: Otto Jespersen, Robert Stoltenberg, Knut Nærum
PlotA group of university students sets out to make a documentary about a series of mysterious bear killings in Norway. They begin by interviewing local hunters and government officials who claim that rogue bear poachers are behind the incidents. However, as they continue their investigation, they encounter a reclusive and enigmatic hunter named Hans, who turns out to be far more than he seems. After initially refusing to speak with them, Hans eventually reveals that he is a government-employed troll hunter, responsible for managing the nation's troll population. Skeptical but intrigued, the students gain Hans's trust and are allowed to document his work.
As they travel deeper into the Norwegian wilderness, the students witness Hans in action, confronting various types of trolls and using specialized techniques to subdue them. They learn about how the government has been keeping the existence of trolls a secret to avoid public panic. The journey becomes increasingly perilous as they uncover more about the misunderstood creatures and the dangers they pose. The group’s commitment to their film project is tested as they face escalating threats, challenging them to capture the truth while surviving the terrifying encounters.
