Troll Fans: These Films Are Essential

Where to Watch

Troll (2022) works because people revisit Troll for the same reason it broke through in 2022: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a action rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Roar Uthaug keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The fantasy and action blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together. The concrete hook is when an explosion in the Norwegian mountains awakens an ancient troll, officials appoint a fearless paleontologist to stop, and that gives this guide a clear center of gravity. For movies like Troll, we prioritized fantasy, action, adventure films that share fantasy, action, adventure, divisive without flattening everything into one broad genre bucket. The best follow-ups preserve the pressure, rhythm, and point of view before they worry about matching plot mechanics. That is why the list below separates close tonal cousins from looser genre neighbors. These 10 recommendations are ordered to keep the Troll feeling intact while still giving you different characters, stakes, and endings.
