Troll is a modern monster movie in the style of Godzilla and King Kong. The movie follows an ancient Norwegian mountain troll who awakes after a thousand years in captivity and begins a trail of destruction as it heads for Oslo. Now that the Troll has emerged, the team who discovered it is desperate to exterminate it before it wipes out humanity.
With a 90% score on Rotten Tomatoes, Troll earned positive reception from critics, with praise directed at the film’s special effects and engaging action scenes, despite some criticism of its unoriginal story beats.
