Troll Trailer Reveals Netflix’s Terrifying Scandinavian Horror Movie
Netflix has released a new trailer for its upcoming monster film, Troll, as reported by Screenrant.
Helmed by The Wave and Tomb Raider director Roar Uthaug, the film follows a group of mismatched individuals who must stop the destruction of Oslo at the hands of a recently awakened mountain troll. The story was penned by Espen Aukan, whose previous titles include the Norwegian horror film Vikingulven.
Filmed in Norway, production on Troll officially wrapped in late 2021 with Espen Horn (Cadaver) and Kristian Strand Sinkerud (Post Mortem: No One Dies in Skarnes) serving as producers. Though Alicia Vikander was originally rumored for the leading role, the film stars Ine Marie Wilmann (Sonja: The White Swan) as Nora, the unlucky paleontologist called upon to fix the mythological mess. Joining the adventure are additional cast mates Kim Falck, Mads Sjøgård Pettersen, Gard B. Eidsvold, Pål Anders Nordvi, Eric Vorenholt and Hugo Mikal Skår.
Now, Netflix has released a fresh trailer for Troll, giving a closer look at the titular Norwegian monster and its penchant for wreaking havoc. After being rudely awakened in the mountains of Dovre, the troll quickly sets out on a path of destruction which draws the attention of the cynical government looking for a logical explanation. Calling in Nora to advise on the situation, she soon finds herself leading the effort to stop the Troll’s advance on Oslo.
Having released a darker teaser back in June, the latest Troll trailer suggests that the picture will also have its fair share of humor and possess a lighter tone than previously assumed, while also utilizing a woefully underrepresented monster which last captured imaginations in the 2011 film Trollhunter. Fans of monster movies and folk horrors can find Troll on Netflix starting next month.
