Troll Hunter - film review

I wanted to see this film from the minute I heard about it.  The concept made me smile.  Troll Hunter is presented as an 'edited found footage' film in the style of the Blair Witch Project.  I hated the Blair Witch - it was probably the only film where I wanted my money back at the end.

Thankfully Troll Hunter is a much better film.  The background story is that several students decide to make a documentary about a bear poacher.  They follow him about until they have a close encounter with something nasty in the woods.  They then learn that he is a government sanctioned troll hunter.

This film is well shot and funny.  I'll pick it up on DVD but I'm glad I saw it in the cinema.
