In nuce: The Norwegian VFX service Gimpville has released an approximately two-and-a-half-minute VFX breakdown, during which you can marvel at the visual effects for the Netflix film Troll.
In toto: Troll is a Norwegian monster film by director Roar Uthaug (Tomb Raider, The Wave), which was released on the streaming service provider Netflix on 1 December 2022. According to the encyclopaedia of international film, Troll combines “familiar monster film patterns with Nordic mythology”, is “visually carefully realised” and is “solidly entertaining”. The editors are not aware of any links to the cult film Troll 2 (by schlock grandmaster Claudio Fragasso) (see the video on the YouTube channel Cinemassacre).
