The Troll should have been a theatrical release first and foremost. It is the best monster movie since Godzilla (2014) and a movie like this deserves more than a straight streaming release.
While most monster movies are more scifi than horror, and barely have any relevance to the place where it is it, Troll shines in this department. The Norwegian folk fore is an important part of the story and it is this touch of nativity which makes Troll work.
Roar Uthaug wasn't afraid to show his characters as serious people with real emotions and didn't subvert the sentiment with a joke at the end, which is what we see in Marvel movies these days. Troll also doesn't rely on toxic military supremacy as a weapon to take out the monster, it relies on fantastical methods which is rare for a movie of this genre.
