Meagan Navarro Movies, Netflix, Reviews, Roar Uthaug, troll

Netflix’s Norwegian Kaiju feature, Troll, might draw easy comparisons to 2010’s Trollhunter for its Scandinavian roots and mythology, but it opts to adhere closer to Legendary Pictures’ MonsterVerse in plotting. While light on narrative, it’s when Cold Prey director Roar Uthaug embraces its monster that Troll reveals its magic. A prologue sees a father tell his young daughter, Nora, of legendary trolls turned […]

‘Tis the season to be naughty. If there’s one recurring staple that takes up more space in holiday horror than any other, it’s the killer Santa Claus. It makes sense. He sees you when you’re sleeping, after all, and he knows when you’re awake. He knows if you’ve been bad or good, so be good […]
