Moviegoers will find that Norway’s not all about sweaty Vikings and scenic fjords in THE TROLL HUNTER, Magnolia/Magnet Releasing’s new mockdocumentary about a grizzled huntsman and a band of naive filmmakers searching for King Kong-sized mythical creatures in the wilds of Norway. In the final part of our exclusive video chat with TROLL HUNTER writer/director André Øvredal (see part one here), the filmmaker talks with Fango’s Tony Timpone about the film’s incredible FX, the popularity of the found-footage craze and his future plans.

Opening in theater June 10 and currently on demand everywhere, THE TROLL HUNTER follows a group of Norwegian film students who set out to capture real-life trolls on camera after learning their existence has been covered up for years by a government conspiracy. Their guide: the Troll Hunter himself (Otto Jespersen), who works to keep the towering behemoths in line. A cross between THIS IS SPINAL TAP and CLOVERFIELD, THE TROLL HUNTER boasts truly fantastic images of giant monsters wreaking havoc on the countryside, with darkly funny adherence to the original Norwegian folklore.
