    As much as i love these movies i fear that this one does not live up to its hype. tho enjoyable and watchable... You feel like you should be watching something a little more compelling for the audiance. ITs good but lacking in many places

    I have to say after really looking forward to seeing this, it was a bit of a disappointment. It lacks any kind of real tension and is a bit humourless which is a shame. Does get a second star for a good finale though and some nice special effects at times.

    It's the Norwegian Blair Witch Project with trolls... but mixed up with Ghostbusters' sense of humour. Some people obviously won't get the tone of the film, which is unfortunate. I noticed quite a few walkouts throughout the film - some people were obviously expecting something different. But if you stick with it, it's actually quite rewarding. It's got a wicked sense of humour. Catch it before it gets an American remake (set where - the Alabama backwoods? Alaska?).

    Given that the cast improvised all the scenes live on set, the dialogue has a surprising ring of truth, and is shot through with an unexpected, often unsettling, humour
