Troll

Troll starts with a young girl, Nora Tidemann, listening to her father, Tobias, narrate the mythology of trolls and where local mountains came from. Nora, a paleo, is called years later to investigate an eruption caused by drilling in the Dovre mountains. A number of the workers and protestors get killed in the eruption. The Norwegian government is desperate for answers so it locks together a diverse team of scientists, including Nora, to investigate.

First, it appears to be caused by methane, and then Nora and the prime minister’s advisor, Andreas Isaksan, think something more sinister. However, when they accidentally wake a 50-meter troll that had been camouflaged on the mountainside, their suspicions are confirmed. Enraged by the disturbance, the troll starts a destructive mission to Oslo.

Troll Movie Explained

The plot of the film is a mix of monster movie tropes and Norwegian folklore. Ancient mythology entails the description of a creature called the troll, which has been described as a misunderstood creature. In the early part of the film, the film implies the troll's complex nature by saving a child from falling debris. The team continues to learn about the troll’s vulnerability to direct sunlight, before plotting a way to trap it by using UV light from tanning beds.

The plan, however, backfires when the sun rises and kills the troll. Varying between wonder and a worried fear, Nora and Andreas both wonder if more trolls are still alive, alive and well, deep within the mountains of Norway. The film also gives further details of the ecological and historical reasons behind the troll’s aggression, making the monster more three-dimensional.
