A group of girl friends go camping in the woods, even after receiving a warning from a priest not to go north. I guess to be fair, the trail is marked with signs so it seems okay to hike there. However you may want to take a warning from a local seriously. He’ll be more aware if there has been trouble in the area.
There is drama in the group. One girl is pregnant but wants to find a man, the bride isn’t sure if she should get married, and the friend she previously had an affair with wants to admit she’s in love with her.
The next day they go on a hike and stumble across a cabin in the woods. They go up to the door and knock. When no one answers, they decide to go in and check it out.
Why do people in horror movies insist on going into other people’s houses? I could see if the house were boarded up, or all the windows were broken out, or the front door was missing, and the place looked deserted. But this is a house full of possessions and it looks lived in. You are breaking and entering.
When a panicked girl runs up and says they need to run because something is chasing her, the brides mom doesn’t grasp the seriousness of the situation and keeps asking her questions. This leads to a troll onslaught. Also if you’re in a strangers house and you find blood on the floor, you may be in danger. The rest of the movie is the women trying to escape the troll.
This is an effort in patience to get through. The biggest issue is a cannibal troll would, by definition, eat other trolls. Yet this one eats humans. So many questions: why did they bring stemmed wine glasses on an overnight hike? How do trolls know how to open car doors? How did the troll buy a house? Where did the money come from? Where did it get pots, pans, and furniture? Who pays the trolls utility bills?
