The Troll Hunter

I watched this last night and really enjoyed it. Its filmed in a similar style to Cloverfield/REC (Quarantine) but with a much lower budget. However that doesnt detract from the viewing experience.
Anyone seen this? Im not one for writing reviews because I find it difficult to convey my thoughts, but would be good to hear what others thought of it.

wasn't that impressed. the only thing that kept my optimism up was the fact it had been done on a low budget, look past that and i realised it really wasn't that great tbh

i thought it was pretty boring the film seemed to dragon for ever it was intresting for awhile but no way did it need to be as long as it were

There's a good HD copy floating around, about to watch it now (off sick from work today) so will report back later.

Ok just finished it now and wow what can I say... brilliant, it completely and surprisingly blew me away!

The acting and script are spot-on... convincingly understated, and while you do obviously have to suspend some disbelief in the concept, it is still very well imagined, and still manages comes across as credible compared to many movies of this ilk in what it portrays. Special effects are also very good considering the budget.

All in all an awesome film, and I will definitely be giving it another viewing in a month or two. I will, all things considered and bearing in mind budget and genre, give it a genuine 9/10!
