IndieWire
The Troll Hunter offers high-caliber entertainment despite a low-budget production. - 90
Variety
Enormously entertaining chiller. - 80
Boxoffice Magazine
Troll Hunter may be a relatively low-budget fantasy but the film looks epic in all the right sequences. - 80
The Hollywood Reporter
The Troll Hunter injects inventiveness, folkloric idiosyncrasy and deadpan humor into the overexploited faux-documentary trend. A generous dollop of "Jurassic Park" inspiration doesn't hurt either. - 75
Movieline
The casting of Jespersen, with his sub-Wookie intonations and granite stare, is key: If this pillar of masculinity says there be trolls, I don't have to be bitten by one to believe it. - 67
Entertainment Weekly
It was an effective choice to shoot these majestic creatures vérité-style, with a jittery camera, but Trollhunter, unfortunately, is such an under-imagined knockoff of The Blair Witch Project that whenever the trolls aren't on screen, it verges on tedium. - 60
Time Out
As with so many modern fantasy films, the sequences here seem designed to go viral on YouTube in a flash of coolness, not necessarily linger in the mind or heart. - 40
Village Voice
As de-mythologizings go, Trollhunter has neither the wit, nor art, nor social insight to honor the legacy of George A. Romero's "Martin."
