Trolls are real, m'kay. The Norwegians have proof.

For some reason horror and the fake documentary seem a good fit. The subgenre exploded onto the scene in 1999 with The Blair Witch Project and has been alive and well as of late with Cloverfield, Paranormal Activity and The Last Exorcism, which Shawn and I have yet to see.

Now the Norwegians are getting into the game with their film Troll Hunter (Trolljegeren) and wow does it look like fun. The film is a "documentary" about a group of students who discover what they believe is a government conspiracy to keep the existence of trolls in the north of Norway hidden from the general public. Much running, screaming and smashing ensues. We like smashing here in The Basement.

Troll Hunter opens in Norway on Oct. 29, and Shawn and I promise to acquire a copy as soon as possible and get you a review.

Up Yours Twilight! Let Me In is the real deal.

When I heard Cloverfield director Matt Reeves was remaking the absolutely smashing Swedish vampire movie Let The Right One In, I cringed. Not because I didn't dig Cloverfield, but the thought of anyone remaking that modern classic made me want to punch midgets in the nutsack.

Now we've got the teaser trailer for Reeves' Let Me In, and it looks damn good. The mood is right. The intensity is right. It doesn't look like Hollywood screwed with the story. This could work. We'll know for sure when the movie opens later this year.

A remake is unnecessary, but if one is going to happen, then at least do it right. I think Reeves has done that. Watch the trailer and judge for yourself!
