Troll Hunter (2010)
7/10
Enjoyable mockumentary-style horror.
19 August 2013
If you don't like mockumentary style horror cinema please skip this film. Based on what the other reviews are saying you will be very unhappy.

If you can appreciate mockumentary horror it's worth it.

Troll is loosely based on Scandinavian folklore and at first glance, it seems like utter silliness. Trolls? Really? But the movie is done so well and endearing that you actually begin to really like the fact that they chose trolls to be the main focus.

It's campy, it's funny, it's kind of cheesy sometimes but its GOOD!

It's entertainment, not horror, and it knows that which is why it works. The actors, director, art direction and everything just works together in a good way.

The Hole (2001)
8/10
Cleverly done, worth a rent!

This was a well thought out and well executed movie. At first blush, the concept of 4 bratty teens stuck in a bunker seems awful, but the reality is quite the opposite!

Said 4 snotty - er, bratty - teens are keen to avoid a school trip (how droll!), and end up seeking shelter from monotony in an old bunker. It is once they are unable to get out that things get interesting, straining, and much less enjoyable than a schoolyard trip!

Good acting and camera work stops it from being tedious - the relationships and character development make it a thrilling movie. It is a great movie that is definitely worth your time, and I'd highly recommend.
