    For a low-budget, non-Hollywood movie, the effects are pretty neat. The Trolls look eerie, half real/half fantasy like something from a nightmare that somehow made it into the real world.

Hans is literally the only person and the gov doesn't give a shit, he's on his own. The budget is already incredibly diminished. they're only doing what they can with what they have. This video honestly left out a lot of info that was said in the movie that explains everything, he's just choosing to be hyper critical of things. If you watch the actual movie, they explain everything. Not to mention, with how strict norway is with owning and operating guns, you're gonna have a hella of a hard time getting any kind of firepower, especially one that would theoretically kill a troll.

    I dont think that Hans needed to tell them anything about trolls, because all the children in Norway are told tales about trolls and other norwegian mythical beings when they were children. If not everyone then atleast 9/10. Stories about "Askeladden" and "Dovregubben" are popular fairy tails that everyone know. Its made movies and for the crew to not know anything about it would be an extremly low chanse, ofcorse if they were American it would have been a completley diffrent story.

    Usually I would agree with the helicopter thing, however there was a very distinct line earlier in the film about trolls regularly throwing rocks at each other. That may or may not be a hint that they're good at throwing things.

    THE COMPLETE SURVIVAL GUIDE TO KILLING TROLLS:
    1.Traps:
    It's something I'd put the highest priority on. If it'll work, large beartraps should be used to pin it down.
    Using caltrops on a creature of that size is a must, especially the big one, since it's size will cause it pain no matter how much it tries to move. Best case scenario, it falls over, allowing you to use any weapon you'd like on it's immobile body. You'll need a ton of caltrops for the big one though, maybe substitute them with large metal spikes, since caltrops might be too small to pierce it's feet.
    Depending on how heavy they are, try to use thick steel cable's as rope traps. If you suspend one in the air, it will basically be rendered helpless. Not a good idea if it's too heavy for the trees/roof to support.
    Since UV flashlights seem effective, why not place several areas covered in lights that are remotely turned on. Lure the trolls in and turn the lights on.
    2.Bait:
    On the topic of luring, bait is also very important in hunting.
    I'd try to find a priest willing to give me some of his blood to bait them into certain areas, like they do here.
    Another option is to learn the troll's preferred prey and use mimics of their noises, then you don't need to lug around a bunch of sheep.
    Holy music seems to work, so start blasting Sabaton like a badass.
    3.Capture:
    Next is testing their endurance to tranquilizers, it's a common way used by rangers to subdue large animals like elephants/rhinos/bears, ect.
    Pitfalls with spikes are how old tribes used to kill elephants, and I could definitely be useful if you want to bring one down and get some blood.
    Testing their overall strength would help, if you can find out how much force they could generate(test it by using a measurement tool disguised as something a troll would want to hit),you could possibly capture one in a reinforced cage if you know the cage will hold it.
    4. Suitable Weapons:
    I'm assuming they don't shoot them because trolls regenerate or their skin is too though.
    Flames could be used to burn them if the regenerate, cauterizing their wounds and not allowing them to heal properly. Molotov's are the easiest to get.
    Large projectile weapons could be useful to bring down trolls if their skin is too thick. A harpoon could work well, since they are made for whales that have extremely thick skin.
    Armor piercing Military weapons could also work if you could get your hands on them. Some high power rifles can pierce tank armor, so best believe they can pierce troll skulls.
    Flashlight guns can work, if you carry large batteries with you, but based off their performance in this movie, I wouldn't rely on them alone unless you have no choice.
    5. The Big one:
    Finally, if you're up against the big one, find it's den and find a way to deny it access. Cause a cave in or something. If it can't find a suitable den before daybreak, it will die. And looking at it's ridiculous size, it's not going too have a lot of options.
    A creature of that size is actually extremely difficult to bring down. Attacking it's legs are a priority if you want to go the frontal assault method.
    Force it on to a terrain it can't handle. Something of that size can't easily travel trough areas with uneven terrain, since it's balance is questionable and it will have to be careful of accidentally impaling it's feet on large sharp rocks.
    Weapons you could use on something of that size is limited. If you can get heavy artillery or some missiles, that should do the trick. Harpoons could work, but you are going to need a ton.
    Do not attempt to sedate it. It's size means even darts that bring down elephants isn't even going to make it drowsy.
    If you have a high power rifle, shoot it's eyes out. Blindness will significantly lower it's threat level. Plus it's not going to find it's way back to it's den if it's blind.
    Finally you could use a UV rocket like the protagonist of this movie, but like I said I don't trust them to work reliably.
    Now go hunt some trolls in a dark, damp cold forest.
    (Or, or, and this is just a suggestion, you could not do that and go rock out to some Sabaton instead?:-)

They're also the only troll species mentioned that even HAVE a perimeter fence, all the others just understand their territory boundaries), why Hans does seem to work well in a group(He worked alone since getting this job, so yeah), and as for the whole 'trolls can smell Christians' thing, it's likely a 'wolves can smell fear' situation. Christianity has demons and devils, not trolls. Meaning, they'll get more scared because they see trolls are creatures that will eat their souls or whatever, and thus sweat more. So bottom line, Christians just will be the first to give away their scent around trolls before any other religion.
