Deep inside the mountain of Dovre, something gigantic awakens after being trapped for a thousand years. Destroying everything in its path, the creature is fast approaching the capital of Norway. But how do you stop something you thought only existed in Norwegian folklore?
This movie contains 14 potentially triggering events.
There was an attempt at gaslighting in the past, which took a toll on the man who was subjected to it - although it appears that he never came to question his own sanity and let go of his convictions. What happened was that the government, aware that he knew "too much", had him committed to a mental institution to discredit his claims. It seems that this had the effect of him and his daughter becoming more or less estranged from each other, or at least that it played a part in the deterioration of their relationship, since she came to consider him mentally ill and couldn't deal with the fact that he'd "lost touch with reality", as she phrases it. Admittedly, she might well have come to see him that way without the government's interference, but it would most likely not have played out as sadly.
The somewhat anthropomorphic, but tens of meters tall, troll is engulfed in fire from being fired at/bombarded by the military, but it emerges unharmed and undeterred seconds later.
It’s not graphic but a character does take a large boulder-shaped object to the head on camera and flies across the screen. Afterwards the injuries aren’t graphic just some blood on the side of the head.
Not quite, but there's some "eye stuff" that might be triggering, so I'm answering Yes. --- SPOILER --- We very clearly see the troll's open, human-looking eye graduately turning to stone, the petrification slowly closing in on the pupil, then covering it.
--- SPOILERS --- Humans overpowered the troll's entire family back in the Middle Ages and killed every single one of them except for one of his children, whom they used to lure him into the mountain. In the present, two people use the skull of one of his long-dead children to lure him somewhere again, and it's heartbreaking - the troll's emotional pain is evident. We don't know whether the child back in the Middle Ages was an infant or not, nor whether the skull belonged to an infant or not, but the skull is very small compared to the troll's hand, the approximate size-wise equivalent of a small orange in an average adult human's hand, so... ... I'm not sure whether any of the actions should be referred to as abduction, but the fact is that people transported the troll's child from one place to another against his (and presumably its) will in the past, and that others do the same with one of his children's skull in the movie, on-screen. I'm answering Yes to err on the side of caution.
SPOILER A character describes that the Troll King's children were killed. The characters use one the children's skulls to lure the troll out of the city.
The main charcters father dies arter getting attacked by the trolled and it is mentioned that the same characters mother died in the past but it isnt said how she died and the death isnt on screen.

Someone spits at one point in the beginning, rather discreetly in my opinion. I don't remember the exact time or context, but I believe it's a soldier. No one farts.
No, but there's running and screaming, and there are explosions causing large rocks to go flying through the air and lie strewn about on the ground. There's also destruction of houses and buildings and of helicopters. In the end, we see a pile of rocky rubble, and someone starts moving beneath/inside it.
Two people hide in a somewhat low-ceilinged cellar because something huge is approaching their small wooden house, making everything shake violently (and ultimately obliterating the part of the house that's just above their heads). We only see them sitting down there for a few seconds (I'm not sure how long they're down there, since the scene changes), they aren't harmed, and I don't think they have trouble getting back up from the cellar, but the whole thing still felt a bit claustrophobic to me. --- At the end of the movie, we see a large pile of rocks, and it starts to move, so there's clearly something alive under/inside the pile.
Perhaps the dad does? He's unkempt and seems somewhat jumpy, immediately pulling a rifle when someone arrives outside his isolated home. He's gone through some stuff in the past (the death of his wife when their child was 10; being manipulated and discredited by the government; suffering forced and wrongful committal to a mental institution) which could definitely have traumatised him... I don't know, but I'm answering Yes to err on the side of caution.
No pregnancies or births. I remember no infants/babies, but there's a huge skull that belonged to a long-dead troll child who MAY have been an infant/baby.

A sixtysomething man, who knows something that no one believes (or wants to be known by others), is called "mad" ("galen" in Norwegian). He lives in isolation, is unkempt, and is perhaps somewhat excentric, but he's not actually mentally ill - and if he were, he should be taken care of and treated with kindness and respect, not mocked/disrespected/dismissed and left to his own devices... all of which he is, just like many unusual, excentric or mentally ill people in the real world.
A father and daughter get emotional and moist-eyed, and they're both a little shy about it, smiling/laughing a little bit at themselves/each other for it. The dad says, "I'm just allergic to the forest", but he's not seriously trying to convince her that that's the case; they both know that they're both emotional, and they're both a bit awkward about it. It has nothing to do with gender, just with their relationship and their personalities. I think the daughter says something along the same lines as what the dad says, like him jokingly pretending that she's trying to explain her teariness away, but I don't remember what it is.
It's clear that some people become homeless in the course of the movie's events because of the destruction caused by the troll, but it's not focused on. We don't see anyone who lives on the street or something like it.
Trolls may be spoiled for children? The troll we see kills several people. I wouldn't let small children watch the movie anyway, but I wanted to mention it.
