About This Movie

Troll-Elgen, directed by Walter Fyrst, is a fascinating blend of drama and mystery that really immerses you in its atmospheric setting. The film opens in the eerie Ré Valley, where the shadows of the surrounding forests create a brooding backdrop. The story centers around Rauten, a wizard elk who, intriguingly, is a human trapped in animal form. It explores themes of identity and transformation, all while maintaining a slow, deliberate pacing that builds tension throughout. The practical effects used to bring Rauten to life are quite striking for its time, and the performances add depth to this unusual narrative. It’s one of those films that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll, with a tone that’s both haunting and thought-provoking.
