Kaiju films fans are always looking for new giant monster films to make their day, and fortunately, it’s the perfect time to follow this genre. In addition to the regular production of Japan of amazing films like the sublime of Takashi Yamazaki “Godzilla Less One”, other countries have considerably increased their game in recent decades. Hollywood has long since recovered from Roland Emmerich’s “Godzilla” in 1998, which was so horrible that “Godzilla: Final Wars” of Toho gave his monster hated a second humiliating death in a fight against real Godzilla. Between “Cloverfield” by Matt Reeves “” Pacific Rim “by Guillermo Del Toro and The Monsterverse franchise in legendary imagesTinseltown has established itself as a reliable Hotspot by Kaiju Entertainment, and in 2006, Korean director Luminy Bong Joy of “Parasite” and “Snowpiercer” put his own touch on the theme with the theme with One of the greatest monster films ever made, “The Host”.

There is always room on the market for another really great monster film, especially one with a really unique premise. Fortunately, Netflix precisely proposed this. Godzilla fans should absolutely discover the Norwegian monster film by Roar Uthaug in 2022, which deeply plunges into an ancient Norwegian mythology on massive trolls living deep in the country’s mountains … and brings it to the modern era when a 150 -foot mountain troll wakes up and heads for the country’s capital, Oslo. The film has an impressive 90% Tomatometer partition Rotten tomatoesAnd with “Troll 2” which should arrive on December 1, 2025, this is the perfect time to get on this intelligent Nordic version of the Kaiju genre.

The trolls are, of course, strongly associated with the fantastic genre, but they have made occasional appearance in films that are not exclusively on swords and witchcraft. We can say that the most important “serious” film troll in recent years is “border” of 2018, the Swedish film by Ali Abbasi on Tina (Eva Melander), a very strange customs agent who discovers an unexpected soul mate in the equally special vore (Eero Milonoff) and learns extremely surprising things about itself. However, on the front of the giant monster film, the trolls were relatively underused. An example that comes to mind is another Norwegian offer. The film “Troll Hunter” relatively rude but charming found the film in style sequences “Troll Hunter” (by the director “The Last Voyage of Demeter”, André Øvredal) presents many troll threats of all shapes and sizes, including a very massive mountain troll.

Netflix’s “troll”, on the other hand, focuses exclusively on the big guy, and as such is a better watch for a full fan of Kaiju. It goes through all the beating of familiar monster films, but the strong infusion of the very real fixation of Norway with the troll mythology maintains fresh things. The imminent arrival of “Troll 2” is sufficient proof that the formula is a success … and even if I would not necessarily put the impressive mountain troll of the first film against the King of Monsters, the primitive threat “Walking Mountain” which he poses for humans makes him a very worthy giant monster.
