The premise

A group of students investigates a series of mysterious bear killings, but learns that there are much more dangerous things going on. They start to follow a mysterious hunter, learning that he is actually a troll hunter.

Horror Vault's take

When a group of Norwegian film students sets out to expose an illegal bear poacher, they stumble onto a far stranger and more dangerous truth lurking in the Scandinavian wilderness. A secretive, world-weary hunter reluctantly allows them to tag along on his rounds — and what they capture on camera will challenge everything they thought they knew about the creatures of Norse legend. Shot in the breathtaking and isolating landscapes of Norway, the film blends mockumentary realism with grand-scale monster mythology. What begins as a student documentary quickly becomes a desperate fight to stay alive.
