“Troll” (*** out of four) was a searing adventure melodrama about an ancient gigantic creature who is unearthed deep in the Dovre mountains and starts plowing its way towards Oslo. The military (Gards B Eidsvold, Mads Sjogard Pettersen, and others) wants it destroyed at all costs but a scientist (Ine Marie Wilmann) begins to wonder if the creature is really as menacing as others may think. Unusually done film features spectacular visual effects and some explosive action but also has a strong amount of mood and emotional pull as you genuinely feel sorry for the troll and its struggles. Reminiscent in a lot of ways of 2005’s “King Kong” but a small winner all around.
