Trollhunter

Andre Ovredal's 2010 Norwegian film follows college students who discover that trolls are real, the Norwegian government knows about them, and one exhausted civil servant is responsible for managing the entire troll population. It's found footage played brilliantly deadpan — the trolls are massive, the bureaucracy is mundane, and Otto Jespersen's weary performance as the hunter is so convincingly matter-of-fact that the absurd premise becomes utterly believable. Equal parts horror, comedy, and the best tourism ad Norway never intended to make.
