Hi folks
           You must see this awesome movie !!!!!!!!
Perfect antidote to the unimaginative studio trash that Hollywood is pumping out all to often.

Basically a bunch of Norwegian media students stumble onto the scoop of the century ...... trolls exist, the government
know and most of the legends you got told as kids about them are true .... well most of them.  ;D

Made on a shoestring budget this film puts most of Hollywoods recent output to shame, CGI is absolutely tremendous.
Packed with low key humour thats as dry as the sahara.

Watch this film ........ and the next time you hear someone comment or Nordlanders lack of a sense of humour tell them to STFU then set their trousers on fire !!!!

Sosseres:
Why link the 480p when there is a 720p? Especially since you say the cgi is good...

dyk:

i watched it yesterday, and loved it. then again, im norwegian, and got all the refrences and gags in it. and dude, this film isnt very original and breakthroughish like you want it to be, its a total blair witch rip off, and a gimmick movie.

Links were intended purely for informational purposes m8.
I expect people to be capable of actually searching out whatever content they desire in the format of choice
by themselves  ::)
If you have a link to an eng subbed 720p then i suggest you post it ....... someone way find it useful.

The CGI is exemplary especially when you consider the budget.

@dyk
        Well am English and i think i got most of the folklore references too, am kind of old so that probably helped. But i think its accessible to a most people who know a few European fairy stories, even those who don't should still be able to enjoy it.

I never said it was ground breaking ......... just it was a nice antidote to unimaginative Hollywood stuff. ::)

Of course its in similar territory to Blairwitch, Cloverfield, and other 'mystery tape' films. But IMHO the Norwegian setting, the based on folklore background, and the adherence to folklore details make it a great little Northern European gem. It should do great outside Norway. The references to 'mystery tape' style films are very cheekily handled with a lot of dry humour as are the whole government conspiracy angles. 'mystery tape' films did exist prior to Blairwitch so its a little unfair to call anything in the genre a rip off, this is a better movie than Blairwitch IMHO.

Its not a gimmick its 'mystery tape' film ... thats a narrative device not a gimmick ....... didn't you say you loved it?? ...... so your saying you loved a gimmicky Blairwitch rip off ?!?!?

AceHigh:
The only Norwegian movies that are worth watching are made by Tommy Wirkola  ;D

However even those movies are not recommended to non-scandinavians, as they wouldn't get the jokes based on cultural references. Besides there is no justice subbing actors like Stig Frode Henriksen, half of his humour is his funny northern dialect.


I guess my point is this recommendation thread is now aimed at scandinavians.
Here are Norwegian classics to recommend:
Død Snø (dead snow) - It's about Nazi Zombies, a splatter movie where people seem to lose their intestines easily, nuf said.
Kill Buljo - Parody on Kill Bill, very focused on cultural references and Lapps, I guess Swedes and Finns will get the jokes

If not loking for a comedy, then I can think of one decent war movie that they finally got more or less right:
Max Manus historians still disaproved some stuff, but close enough to a true story.


And then we have the Swedish movies which (not surprisingly) get higher budgets and many of them are really good:
Arn - Tempelriddaren Think of it as a swedish version of "Kingdom of heaven", this movie can be enjoyed fully by anyone I believe.
Flickan som lekte med elden Hmm.... Swedes make mainstream movies when I think about it...

Oh and Denmark has this dude called Lars von Trier that makes movies that.... well see this one:
Antichrist I think onion news made a video about him...
Beside that I remember an awesome Danish animation Terkel i knibe. Pure win.

Oh, the list could go on, but I got bored so signing off.
