Wait the video came out 3 seconds ago how did you comment 20 mins ago..
Yes me to

For a low-budget, non-Hollywood movie, the effects are pretty neat. The Trolls look eerie, half real/half fantasy like something from a nightmare that somehow made it into the real world.
They probably used filmora
@@raulramos6876 I was banking on MS Paint

Lucky for hans it isn't rabies. Rabies has a long incubation period. He's in regular old sepsis from disgusting troll time period. With enough antibiotics he might live.
Hans is actually really smart with no stupid plans. As the old saying goes, "If it's a dumb plan but it works, it isn't a dumb plan."
"It is what it is"
yeah but those film crew kids were dumb as hell and he didnt have any team skills so rip
No, that saying is wrong. If a plan is dumb, but it works. It's still a dumb plan, but it works.
He who smelt it, dealt it
Is it dumb to shoot your hand to save your life? Yes? Well You didn't die so it's smart is what You are saying.
In Norwegian mythology, Trolls have powerful regenerative powers, so military weapons likely won't have work, which is why he only has UV lights as weapons
Cool
I thought that was just dnd
That's DnD
The old myth is the source of that information
Well these trolls are more like animals and i dont think a 12 foot tall troll would survive a shot from a tank.
I saw this film as a kid and I've always looked for it since then, and now all of a sudden 10 years later this pops up in my feed. God am I glad i subscribed to you.
Holy shit, same thing happened to me! I saw it one day before school and I could never find it again. Now in my final year of university and this pop up omfg
could’ve googled it... not a lot of troll movies lmao
It's free on UA-cam still. Last I checked
Wtf same
Now I feel fucken old. Remember seeing this when it premiered here in Norway. As the lead character "the trollhunter" is a Norwegian comedian and A list celeb. I really wanted to see it. I was 20.. and here you are, saying you saw it when you were a kid and didn't find it since like it was some childhood memory.. 😵
Hans seems like an old guy, who likes doing things the old way. A lot of old dudes are like that. When people hunt with the bare necessities usually do so to give what they're hunting a fair chance, death is part of the risk.
My man, death isn't part of the risk. It is THE risk.
interesting.
Yeah, I can see that.
With the knowledge he already had, if he had a supply of RPGs or Carl Gustavs as they'd mentioned, then he'd basically be able to track them down and depopulate them.
One kill with every shot, and they have a very slow reproductive cycle. They'd go extinct.
i mean to be fair it's not about jsut doing it the old way, gotta remember he had to do it in a way taht also covered up the existence of trolls and instead made it look like he was hunting bears instead
@@gusty7153 and he don’t want that, he would lost his job if he do
Troll Researcher: "We're trying to come up with a humane way to kill the trolls"
Nerd Explains: "Let me tell you about this thing called a BAZOOKA"
Being exploded is probably more humane than being crystallized (probably feels like being burned or hypothermia).
i’d rather be bazookad than turn into stone
I feel like all the complaints about Han's equipment can be perfectly explained by the fact that he's technically a government/public service employee.
Or if it was stated that conventional weaponry was ineffective as trolls regenerate
@@mcarrowtime7095 why not? considering how fleshly some of the skins on trolls look and swing espacially the faces (along with them having huge faces) you can just use 7.62x39mm dirt cheap ammo with an good old AKM and just fricken light'em up.

That’s what I was hoping for lol
If trolls explode or turn to stone with light, then they are entirely nocturnal and their vision probably doesn't see colors well. So the yellow or blue coats probably look various shades of gray. Like deer and hunter orange.

“They awake to find that a small wolverine is rooting around their campsite. A simple A10 warthog with armor piercing rounds and hellfire missiles will easily take care of this problem.”
-Nerd Explains, probably
Well that’s the standard minimum for taking out wolverines
You can never have too much firepower against wolverines. Those bastards are tough as shit and don’t seem to understand the concept of death. I’ve blasted a one with a 12 gauge 3 times and the bastard was still running at me. Luckily I got him in the head after I kicked it upside the head. Little shits are mean as hell and every encounter is seen as “to the death”for them.
Since wolverine doesn't fear death,is there a way to make them afraid of human?
@@ryoid6001 maybe try to smell like diseased meat?
@@diobrando5764 you shouldn’t have killed him, although you gave him an honourable death.. The wolverine took 3 shots and STILL pushed forward until the final headshot.. That wolverine is definitely going to Valhalla, I admire him/her for not giving up, truly an animal you should not mess with...
Usually I would agree with the helicopter thing, however there was a very distinct line earlier in the film about trolls regularly throwing rocks at each other. That may or may not be a hint that they're good at throwing things.
In the lore of the film it’s only a very limited amount of government personnel that knows of trolls. Thus they can’t divert large amounts of money to equip their only Hunter without seeming suspicious. He was just hunting strays after all, so the pore equipment is excused.
Why though,if the prime minoster and the top guys know then isnt that enough authority to sanction usage of a bigher budget
@@amogus1415 the job is more akin to animal control not extermination
@@8ball180 isnt the jotnar 200feet tall and cant they smell the blood of christians and eat people,if the united states can drone strike terrorists i dont see why the norwegian government cant bomb then to hell.
Ok that makes sense
@@amogus1415 like I said the job is animal control. While they can do those things, most of the time they don't and stay in their restricted preserves. However most the trolls in the film had rabies, making the events shown the exception as they left their restricted areas leading them to be put down
Nerd Explains: "Lucky for them the Jotnar troll doesn't stay to finish them off, looks like it hurt it's hand."
So the spiked car cage did do something XD
Well if they didnt have the cage the truck would've made it without getting caught and if Han had a partner then he can shoot the TROLL! So they're still dumb as F$CK!
If the troll put in a little more effort and lets say just threw the car, they would have been dead.
Yeah they would have gotten crushed without it
@@vuthinh4318 how do you know it would truly make them get out of there faster? lol. You truly don't know how significant the weight is after putting the spiked cage on it, could be any different kind of metal varying in weight and density. Hans is literally the only person and the gov doesn't give a shit, he's on his own. The budget is already incredibly diminished. they're only doing what they can with what they have. This video honestly left out a lot of info that was said in the movie that explains everything, he's just choosing to be hyper critical of things. If you watch the actual movie, they explain everything. Not to mention, with how strict norway is with owning and operating guns, you're gonna have a hella of a hard time getting any kind of firepower, especially one that would theoretically kill a troll. Good luck getting a 700 nitro express - the elephant gun, when you cant even own a 500 magnum
@@JustAdude291 sant, den här individen är troligtvis från Amerika och därmed tror att man kan köpa/äga ett vapen hur som helst.
I love Trollhunter - what these guys achieved with a budget of less than £2million puts a lot of Hollywood efforts to shame.
A bear could definitely do that to a truck. We keep feeders for game and on occasion bears will try to get into them. They tear the medal lids off into shreds
yeah bears are some of the strongest. i wanna see a bear vs hippo fight but i heard hippos are next level so idk
@@NotSandhorst So you wanna feed a poor defenseless bear to a Hippo is essentially what you're saying. Hippos are messed up.
this is one of the handful of movies where the cameraman rule is broken
Instead the camera itself cannot die
In found footage movies the cameraman always dies
@@louis8487 Otherwise they would be called "published footage movies"
@@SennaHawx okay thats pretty funny
@@aidantheraider6324 the camera cracked in one of the scenes
Nerd explains I think one way they could've survived is when they looked at the beaten car and just left
Or when they saw the flashing"do not enter" sign and ignored it walking into a death trap like idiots
Yeah but we’re analyzing a full movie, not a scene
I honestly love Trollhunter on how it expands on the already in dept "mechanics" of old norwegian troll fairy tails (that we're even told as kids and in school)
I found this movie on Netflix years ago with my dad, it was a fun watch and rewatching it brings back echoes of the good memory
"The flash gun or a high explosive RPG round to the chest is honestly pretty humane"

Just use the flames spell so they can’t regenerate health. Also Trollsbane has a pretty strong enchantment that does extra damage to trolls.

Is this about skyrim? Haven’t played it so idk
Your profile picture is good civilization.
I dont think that Hans needed to tell them anything about trolls, because all the children in Norway are told tales about trolls and other norwegian mythical beings when they were children. If not everyone then atleast 9/10. Stories about "Askeladden" and "Dovregubben" are popular fairy tails that everyone know. Its made movies and for the crew to not know anything about it would be an extremly low chanse, ofcorse if they were American it would have been a completley diffrent story.
This.
Yeah I think trolls are very known in Scandinavia and Finland.
@@josua3 yeah I think most Norse mythology is well known Amoungst the locals. So if this ever did happen then they’ll be the best suited
Still would've been helpful if he told them some specific things they needed to know.
Its the same in Sweden. Everyone knows how to fend of/kill both trolls and giants, even if we dont believe in them.XD
The main thing I luked about the movie was the idea that trolls in Norway are just a sliver of a bigger cinematic monster verse. Imagine Windigo's in Northern US and Canada, or South American Mapinguari, North American Bigfoot, Cyclops in South Eastern Europe, or Others. Jsut fun ideas like that that are all connected in the universe is fun.

I honestly really respect this move for following one of the coolest parts of Norwegian mythology with surprising care for the story’s before it.
I always thought my country’s mythology was boring, when i saw this movie my view completely changed, have you seen the movie ‘’The wave’’ or in norwegian ‘’Bølgen’’? It’s a more high budget movie and the most known here in norway. I recommend you see it if you haven’t already :)
Its a shame you didn't show the clip at the end of the movie where the prime minister of norway says trolls are real lol
that's real life footage tho
Love the movie!
@Cato G i thought it would have referred to internet trolls
Is that a real clip?
@@nickpetriashvili2863 yes
“There are no trolls in here”
Cinema summary “now how would you the expert no that”
I'm surprised this guy didn't think logically. Using a rpg to kill a troll is the opposite of stealthy so that's why the hunter isn't using them.
Also the weight is insane. You cant really move around much with anti tank weapons. Also, ammo. A light gun is more effective. Anti tank weapons also require two people to reload effectivly.
@@marossi eeeh loaded rpg-7 is 10 kg thats not that much for example loaded m16 were about 4 kg
@@marossi also the only people that have rpg's in norway are the military
@@thomasthorso2521 True but the troll hunter is literally hired by the government so I don't think that would be an issue in actuality.
he hunts the trolls in small groups or when there alone so an rpg would be great to take one down get out and then the next night do it again

Been said man times butfor a low budget film, very impressive. Filming it like found footage really helped with compositing shots of the trolls and the design of the trolls are really cool. Props to them!
Horror movie monsters become a lot less scary when u realize they can’t survive modern firepower
Well..bears, tigers and those animals can be scary in certain situation.
well in this scenario (and simmilar cases) modern firepower wouldn't work as if they were going off the origional lore of Trolls then any wound inflicted on them would regenerate too quickly for it to be killed by conventional means
@@peepeepoopoo223 true but when that lore was created, did they have giant flamethrowers and nukes?
@@NotSandhorst lol. Yeah troll you can take my arrow,but how about my assault rifle.
@@NotSandhorst also to be fair back when troll lore was a thing weapons were much slower. Maybe they can regenerate those weapons, but a minimum would spread.

As thorough as this review and advisory is, you did neglect the part where they explained trolls cant be monitored by satellite imaging which would have been important since you repeatedly proposed using it to track them in a more advanced way
interesting, what else did this guy ignore? he never said if trolls could smell muslims so i wanna know if that was confirmed
@@NotSandhorst He also ignores why Hans doesn't use military grade equipment(trolls are supposed to be kept secret from the public, so trying to explain why high-explosive weaponry was used out in the forest would be effectively impossible), why Hans probably doesn't have access to said equipment in the first place(Jotnar being the biggest troll species also are contained by an electric fence made of those giant powerline towers. They're also the only troll species mentioned that even HAVE a perimeter fence, all the others just understand their territory boundaries), why Hans does seem to work well in a group(He worked alone since getting this job, so yeah), and as for the whole 'trolls can smell Christians' thing, it's likely a 'wolves can smell fear' situation. Christianity has demons and devils, not trolls. Meaning, they'll get more scared because they see trolls are creatures that will eat their souls or whatever, and thus sweat more. So bottom line, Christians just will be the first to give away their scent around trolls before any other religion.
Basically the guy ignored a lot of stuff that explained the very things he was critical about or just wanted to complain about.
Another thing would be the Jurassic park idea, it just seems like a bad idea
You are forgetting how to see the trolls cause you cant do it in the day
@@caiusdrakegaming8087 The director explained that its cause the trolls hate Christians. The reason for this is cus the trolls view Christians as invaders that stole the reverence that the Norse used to have for them, which in turn drove the trolls into hiding in the wilderness.
The shear passive aggressiveness of this man is astounding
When u said "they should've dropped what they had in their hands" in panic you just run without thinking. When I was 8 and playing with my 6yr sister, (at night) we heard a HUMAN KNOCK on our window. Wasn't no tree or animal, it was a clear, human, knock. We ran and later I looked down and noticed I still had my power rangers in my hands and never let go because I panicked.

Hey Nerd. I just watched an old video of yours (bird box) and my gosh, your microphone and script writing have gotten so much better since then. Keep it up!
When I first saw his armour I thought to myself holy shit it’s Ned Kelly (Ned Kelly is an Australian bush ranger who was famous for wearing armour like that)
It’s the bunny-yip!
Oh yeah, I’m Norwegian and i fricking love this film, especially Otto Jespersen as the hunter
Enig!
Samma her, fantastisk skuespiller
I get the feeling the filmmakers wanted to capture the vibes of what it’d be like to have a regular civilian hunter going after trolls. Unfortunately, the introduction of the secret government agency to explain why nobody knows about them created more plot holes.
this movie just highlights my confusion about cryptid hunters in general:
They always seem completely ill-prepared, so what are they suposed to do if the cryptid they're hunting *does* show up? Then what?
But...hans is prepared
Hard to explain to citizens why there are constant military grade explosions in a forrest far from any military base.
@@thanos9814 Yeah but we Americans think the solution to everything is "bring a bigger gun" when in a good chunk of these films, where they go up against things that have magic abilities that defy logic, we can't seem to comprehend that these ancient superbeasts that can sense your religious beliefs through your blood could possibly be immune to some lead and burning charcoal
THE COMPLETE SURVIVAL GUIDE TO KILLING TROLLS:
1.Traps:
It's something I'd put the highest priority on. If it'll work, large beartraps should be used to pin it down.
Using caltrops on a creature of that size is a must, especially the big one, since it's size will cause it pain no matter how much it tries to move. Best case scenario, it falls over, allowing you to use any weapon you'd like on it's immobile body. You'll need a ton of caltrops for the big one though, maybe substitute them with large metal spikes, since caltrops might be too small to pierce it's feet.
Depending on how heavy they are, try to use thick steel cable's as rope traps. If you suspend one in the air, it will basically be rendered helpless. Not a good idea if it's too heavy for the trees/roof to support.
Since UV flashlights seem effective, why not place several areas covered in lights that are remotely turned on. Lure the trolls in and turn the lights on.
2.Bait:
On the topic of luring, bait is also very important in hunting.
I'd try to find a priest willing to give me some of his blood to bait them into certain areas, like they do here.
Another option is to learn the troll's preferred prey and use mimics of their noises, then you don't need to lug around a bunch of sheep.
Holy music seems to work, so start blasting Sabaton like a badass.
3.Capture:
Next is testing their endurance to tranquilizers, it's a common way used by rangers to subdue large animals like elephants/rhinos/bears, ect.
Pitfalls with spikes are how old tribes used to kill elephants, and I could definitely be useful if you want to bring one down and get some blood.
Testing their overall strength would help, if you can find out how much force they could generate(test it by using a measurement tool disguised as something a troll would want to hit),you could possibly capture one in a reinforced cage if you know the cage will hold it.
4. Suitable Weapons:
I'm assuming they don't shoot them because trolls regenerate or their skin is too though.
Flames could be used to burn them if the regenerate, cauterizing their wounds and not allowing them to heal properly. Molotov's are the easiest to get.
Large projectile weapons could be useful to bring down trolls if their skin is too thick. A harpoon could work well, since they are made for whales that have extremely thick skin.
Armor piercing Military weapons could also work if you could get your hands on them. Some high power rifles can pierce tank armor, so best believe they can pierce troll skulls.
Flashlight guns can work, if you carry large batteries with you, but based off their performance in this movie, I wouldn't rely on them alone unless you have no choice.
5. The Big one:
Finally, if you're up against the big one, find it's den and find a way to deny it access. Cause a cave in or something. If it can't find a suitable den before daybreak, it will die. And looking at it's ridiculous size, it's not going too have a lot of options.
A creature of that size is actually extremely difficult to bring down. Attacking it's legs are a priority if you want to go the frontal assault method.
Force it on to a terrain it can't handle. Something of that size can't easily travel trough areas with uneven terrain, since it's balance is questionable and it will have to be careful of accidentally impaling it's feet on large sharp rocks.
Weapons you could use on something of that size is limited. If you can get heavy artillery or some missiles, that should do the trick. Harpoons could work, but you are going to need a ton.
Do not attempt to sedate it. It's size means even darts that bring down elephants isn't even going to make it drowsy.
If you have a high power rifle, shoot it's eyes out. Blindness will significantly lower it's threat level. Plus it's not going to find it's way back to it's den if it's blind.
Finally you could use a UV rocket like the protagonist of this movie, but like I said I don't trust them to work reliably.
Now go hunt some trolls in a dark, damp cold forest.
(Or, or, and this is just a suggestion, you could not do that and go rock out to some Sabaton instead?:-)
Did u type out 2 whole book chapters on trying to catch a fake animal?
I personaly would not use fire in the deep woods to fight a troll!!!
(Sorry If i spelled Something wrong im Not good at english.)
@@ensignhexis.5907 of course I did. Can't have people saying I didn't do my job properly.
@@frog6384 no worries,your english is fine. You don't need to fight it in the deep forest. That's why I placed importance in luring it with bait,you could bring it to a nearby clearing,or an area where the trees are far apart so a fire wouldn't rapidly spread.
Dude wrote an essay on how to kill a troll. Respect.
I think Hans not being communicative makes sense as he's been a solitary hunter for a long time. Him not being able to work in a team setting is actually realistic for the scenario. What's unrealistic is that he wasn't assigned to a team years ago and forced to work in a team setting along with getting at least half of the priority of budget that the Norwegian military gets.
why not just send the special force?, i mean they are profis and if they die, you can get a coverstory, they can have acces to weapons, and they will kick ass as a team
Hans was the Norwegian equivalent to a navy seal i believe, so he's basically the only operator that is able to do it. It explains things in the movie. he's the only guy to do it and the government wont help. Now he's sick of the long hours, no bonuses or pension and shitty money and consuming his entire life. That's why he says fuck it, i hate this job, go ahead and put this on TV with your network connections. Probably felt good for him to have others around him who understand and seem to care. NGL this video here kinda left these important things out just for sake of being critical. It explains everything in the movie
@@JustAdude291 that doesnt make any sense, if he is the only person than they should better give him high pay and best Equipment, i meam they have a few opera0tors watching over him with a strike Team, they are more expensive than hans
@@giftzwerg7345 it does makes sense because a lot of agencies are like that. they probably do have a big budget to supply Hans but they pocket most of the money for themselves and leave a little for him
@@ernestogastelum9123 Yeah most of that budget's probably to keep the Jotnar containment grid up. Since it's giant fucking powerline towers being used as an electric fence, it's going to be stupidly costly to keep it maintained and repair it whenever a Jotnar breaks out.
Honestly love this movie so much, it's still the most unique found footage movie out there. Plus the whole movie is extremely grounded and realistic in tone, which makes the scenario feel almost plausible.

@@flexingfletchyt4756 I feel like it would prove the Norse right more than anything. They were polytheistic, so they believed that there were many gods, and when Christian missionaries came, a lot of the reaction was like "Oh neat. Another god."
I feel like that perspective would probably be the most true in the movie's world.
That the norse gods exist but then there's also gods for different people across the world, and the norse ones specifically have a feud with christianity?
I'm not sure if what I'm trying to say is coming across, but that's my headcannon at least.
As a kid in norway i was scared of trolls for many years. Being at the cabin in the mountains i was always inside before dark. It was kind of like santa claus, not entirely sure if he excisted but there was also a chance it was true
Bro I thought being scared of the dark as a kid sucked but damn that’s way worse
you should be scared of Nazi Zombies.
the Einsatz or whatevs they called
Same, I was unsure if trolls existed but after watching this movie I was convinced 😂😂
I, a swede, was terrified of Näcken and Skogsrået. This sucked bc I live right by the water and inside a forest
This is a Norwegian movie made to look like a documentary (obviously) and it’s incredible well made having not be from Norway and it’s made in 2010. One of my favorite movies of all time and I don’t know how so few knows about it. It’s fantastic
this takes "we do a little trolling." to a whole new level.
Okay wow, the movie concept is actually REALLY COOL
"Don't worry the mine you would've set off minutes ago in my car isn't armed"
Well, who carries an armed mine? I always order my Fallout companions to disarm and carry them -- those things are heavy.
I saw this movie as a kid (I’m norwegian) and never really understood if it was a real documentary or fiction. At this point I thought it was some kind of crazy fever dream. Thanks for clarifying!😆
fantastic seeing the movie still being somewhat relevant for almost 11 years now
I think Kalle being a Christian may not be the full reason why he got ate, the dude was panicking, and what Hans said wasn’t helping him either. Plus, no matter what you believe in or not, if you were in Kalle’s shoes, you’d probably be panicking too.
I remember watching this in like 2012 I was ten and I thought this shit was real so literally everyone there was a storm and trees were knocked over/down I thought it was a troll
When ur young movies rly have a serious effect on you
Holy shit, dude I thought the same thing. I was 9 or 10, and I remember googling “was troll hunter a true story”. That ending got me good, and boy was I a dumbass kid
Same but different movie
I thought so too, it made sense to 8 year old me because mom talked about stories of trolls when I was little. How they were sleeping inside the mountains and such
I always thought that troll hunter was real but even though it’s a film and not true it’s still one hell of a movie to watch and I highly recommend watching it.
Yeah it came out 10 years ago i was 4 and i thoight it was a lost tape so i was like
Ayo what these real
This was a really good movie, loved the boss battle. When I first found it I was expecting some low budget Bigfoot type stuff but instead it was really good quality though it did start off slow.
Agree with most of it, but they most likely weren’t murdered. Probably in some black site locked away. Especially once one of them escaped.
I doubt they would get rid of Hans, the random kids that started following him, maybe.
ignore the trolls, they get worse with attention
Sigma male mentality
@@som_10 you just gave a perfect example to kids who to ignore
@@nikolamladenovic7233 have you heard of, ehm, jokes?
Just tell them no. They can’t troll you without your permission.
Also, maybe bring some UV lamps or something, just in case.
Youve.. been... trolled
"Only yelled troll as a metaphor" 😂😭 (5:27)
Just say, "I was trolling you."
Hans does a little trolling
Watching at 1.25x and seeing Hans get slammed by the troll in the bridge is the funniest shit I have seen. True cinema.
17:46 " using the term professional very loosely" was hilarious !!!

Sooo about the Thing about dropping your gear (AROUND 9:45) it has been proven that People Will always hold onto whatever they have in the hand(s). Even when being shot at.
Dropping your shield was an infamous running away practice
@@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl its Hard to argue with (your) his assements
that is true, once I was 8 with my 6yr sis and someone knocked on our window AT NIGHT. We panicked and ran away, later I realized I still had my power rangers in my hand while my sister had her barbies as well, we never let go.
@@mothman5883 lol why are you just copying & pasting this same comment everywhere tho?
@@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl I think the shield drop would have been more of a conscious "f**k this, I'm out" decision, as opposed to the panic-stricken "run like a terrified rabbit" behavior in the movie.
It’s actually great, I was able to edit high speed apex gameplay in minutes and able to track snips in seconds
Nerd Explains scared me so hard that i couldnt sleep lol XD
I think the lack of preparation on Hans' part makes sense, since he usually works alone. I know I would personally not have thought about any of the additional precautions involved with extra people on anything I normally do solo.
"If you're going to hunt Loch Ness-"
All you'd need to do to stop them is about Tree Fiddy.
With trolls being a part of Scandinavian folklore, I feel like troll sightings in Norway would have a response like, “oh no, trolls..... Anyway-”
I'll keep that in mind when I'm hunting unicorns.
Lol
@@mcsheesh2611 thanks for the tip... ill be sure to be extra friendly all the way up until the moment where I can take a quick shot with a heavy caliber right through the heart! Thanks for the advice.
@@mcsheesh2611 so crush their sense of friendship with phycological warfare
Avoid the horn at all costs. You don't want to be stabbed to death by it
@@mcsheesh2611 I might even get so close to them, that I meet all their friends and can slowly off the friends one by one and watch as they suffer. Ill just bask in the immense pain I cause while keeping the friendly smile on until they're all gone.
Then I'll go hunt other mythical creatures, like narwhals.
When I was little I thought these were lost tapes and these things were real LOL
I remember first watching this and thinking it was one of the best movies ever, glad you covered this one
The movie tries to explain the trolls turning into stone with science, but them being able to sniff out christians is total BS 😂
In church you eat the body and drink the blood of Christ
Honestly brings up a lot of questions. What about Christianity and Christians made these creatures that are established to be just animals develop such keen abilities to detect them?
Suspending my disbelief that one’s belief in a specific religion makes their blood different of course.
@@arkauthor 🤦🏽♂️
@@rhemzy is he wrong though?
Probably is attracted (heavily sensitive) to the smells you can feel while in-church.
Kinda the opposite of bug repellent, but for trolls.
Probably the smell of candles and holy water, lol.
There are so many Norwegian folklore references in this movie, such as the Troll under the bridge which refer to the Troll from the tale of the "Three Billy Goats Gruff", and some other references to the story of Askeladden.
26:16 Yea, the troll's licking his wounds because the SPIKED CAGE you think is a waste turned out to be quite effective, wounding the troll's palm as he tried to grip the truck. Why did you overlook that Mr. Spikey Cage Hater. :D
It's in similar vein to Cinema Sins, where he nitpicks for the sake of comedy. However, NE is infinitely more tolerable.
@@halcyon1644 i think its because hes so monotone, that it loops back around to being funny. like, hes just so incredibly bored and unscared of any horror movie ever.
Yeah this dude can be kinda annoying sometimes
cool movie! coming from dnd i was confused about what trolls were but it was still cool to see!!😁😎
Him. Makes a dying light reference
Me. Ah yes a man of culture as well
For the most part, all of these videos have the same solution: stay home and watch Nerd Explains (and maybe some Cinema Summary) videos. That way, when something bad does happen, you'll immediately have survived and become famous.
Have a damn good day y'all
I'd still probably fucking die.
How do you know something happend, if everyone stays Home?
Nooooo!!!No way freaking way!Did the camera man just die?This movie just broke the first rule of the holy found footage movie rule😂
When
wouldnt blair witch project broke that rule ages ago? Also, technically Thomas uploaded the movie so his role as cameraman was over at that point, so its still all good. He died not as a cameraman.
@@cookiehello6105 We're talking about the dude that was eaten by a troll not the one that had rabies. It's at 20:00
A problem about the RPG is that they’re keeping it on the down low and you can hear an RPG like from a mile away
Wow I remember when you only had 10,000 subscribers you've blown up fast man congrats
Beating the trolls is easier than beating the government that wants to keep them in secret
Nerd explains: “remind me to never go to the Norwegian mountains”
Me, half swede, half Norwegian living (in Sweden) a few hours away from the Norwegian border where the most mountains are:
“HAH!” 😂
You must love sight seeing those yatnars and what the hell ever else is out there, tbh if I had to choose between some 200ft trolls and zombies I think I’ll take more chances with the big ducking trolls thank you very much.
@@eatsnowanddie well we travel mostly during the day so we don’t see a lot of trolls (obviously we take precaution to avoid travelling during the night, duh 😆), and the nazi zombies are a type of draugr so as long as you leave their loot alone you’re fine.
@@emival3335 I hear it’s like the Appalachian mountains which I live by
Tips: if you hear something off trail no you didn’t
If there is a large animal near you and you can’t find it swiftly walk away
Learn all the noises the native animals make if you hear different ones RUN
If you hear your name FUCKING SPRINT
I assume it’s the same for the Norwegian mountains
@@emival3335 wait trolls are actually real?
@@emival3335 Nailed it 😂
13:56 - 14:06
I'm 95% sure I've seen every video on this channel at least twice, and somehow I missed this quip.
Best line in this entire youtube channels career lmao. that one line made me laugh for probably 5 minutes straight, ngl
I’m quite glad an movie from my country gets recognition even tho it’s low budget. Well deserved.
