Troll is a thrilling new Norweigan monster movie that has been in the works for over 20 years, and it's finally ready for fans all over the world to watch and enjoy.
At the time of writing, it is currently the number one movie on Netflix, brought to you by the Tomb Raider director, so now is the perfect time to learn all about it and see it for yourself!
The movie was written by Espen Aukan and follows an ancient troll that was awakened in a Norwegian mountain, and how average humans come together to stop it from destroying everything in its path.
Speaking to What's on Netflix, director and co-writer Roar Uthaug said of Troll: "It’s an idea I’ve had for over 20 years now, so it was really nice to be able to finally make the movie.
"It was inspired by Norwegian folklore and fairytales and I always wondered what would happen if one of the creatures from those fairytales would wake up today. How would the government and the army and everybody react? So that was kind of the basis of the idea."
