1* HilariousInHindsight: When Hans first takes the crew into the forest and leaves them to flush a troll out, they speculate that he is secretly filming them as part of a prank. Later that same year, ''Freak Encounters'', a show on Animal Planet with that exact format (people, nominated by their friends/relatives, are tricked into coming face-to-face with a fake monster) aired.
2* IronWoobie: Hans, whose life has been ruined by his job and who clearly regrets much of what his job entails. Remember that he mentions a troll massacre he was required to perform in the '70s. God only knows what's happened since. And yet he's still going, still alive, and still doing his job, even when he has to babysit a bunch of college students.
3* {{Narm}}: The first time the crew follows Hans into the forest, he suddenly bursts through the woods screaming "TROLL!"
4* OneSceneWonder: The Polish contractor hired to place dead bears at the scenes of troll attacks appears only briefly in a single scene, but is generally considered one of the funniest characters in the entire film.
5* TooDumbToLive: The main characters (Hans excluded) can come off as this. [[spoiler:Especially Kalle]].
6* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: For a low budget movie, the FX for the trolls are astoundingly effective. They look cartoonishly absurd, yet life-like, they provide a convincing illusion that they hold tangible space in reality.
