I'm starting this to find something specific, but maybe the thread can be a general 'what movie is this?' type thing.
Reading through Symbaroum reminded me of a movie I saw a few years ago, something from northern Europe, Scandinavian I think. It was newish then.
It takes place in some historical period, near medieval, in a rural community on the edge of a huge forest.
A man is returning from school (I think) looking for his brother. There is a story of a 'troll' that has attacked people in the forest, and the brother investigates, but is skeptical of the folktales. It's a bit creepy and malevolent, no one trusts the new citified guy in town.
In the end there is no troll, the crimes are at the hands of normal human criminals.
The whole thing has a heavy atmosphere to it. Not a lot of talking. Everything feels portentous/ominous.
Does any of this sound familiar?
Thanks, I've been looking for a while but not finding.
