    This movie is like the perfect storm of crumminess. It's great, without being good by anyone's definition. It's so stupid, it makes no sense and everything is done wrong. The cameras can't keep anyone in shot, the sound got loused up at several points causing the dialogue to be l... read moreost and the story is confusing at best and internally confused at worst. From what I understand, a psychic or possibly schizophrenic child is being haunted and/or is imagining his dead grandfather, who menaces him by telling him incredibly insistent fairy tails about murderous goblins. Then his family goes on vacation to a town where the malevolent inhabitants keep trying to kill them by tricking them into eating pistachio pudding. The goblins prey on humans, despite being vegetarians, so they have to first magically turn their prey into rotting vegetation before they can eat them. The writer has since said that she was trying to express her frustration at her hoity-toity newly vegetarian friends, so hah! Take that, vegans! Revenge is a dish best served by insane Italian people, who have only ever read about food in books.There's also a manic evil witch in the movie. Who is also evil. I don't know why.

    This movie is so much fun to watch, and the stilted dialogue and really glaring plot mistakes will have you rolling in the aisles. One time, a troll gets punched in the face hard enough to visibly spin his mask around on his head. It's hilarious. Also, why is it that the family needs to have a seance to summon Grandpa Seth, an unwelcome spirit that they couldn't get rid of even twenty minutes ago? Why do the characters narrate what they're doing aloud? Why does Eliot bring his idiot friends everywhere? What's the difference between the goblins and the possessed townsfolk? This movie is like the kid at school that gets made fun of, not just for being odd but for trying to be cool by saying "yo" and "radical" a lot. I am so happy I saw this movie. It's really really bad, but it is so enjoyable.

    The sad thing when you are watching this "film," is the fact that the actors actually seem to be giving it their all in order to give off a real thrill. But with a plot this preposterous and actors that look like they just came out of a grade school talent show, there is not much... read more to like here. Having the title of "Best Worst Movie of All Time" does not help either. This film was clearly made up as it went along, the name "Troll" is never used once, the effects are as bad as a teenage experimental short, and the conclusion makes absolutely no sense towards the rest of the film. People tell you to watch this film to laugh at how bad it is, but honestly, it's almost unbearably bad! "Troll 2" is easily one of the worst films ever made!

    I was not prepared, even after watching an equally long documentary on this film alone, for the epicness of this ridiculously plotted, inane, badly acted, hilarious, horrifying ride down insanity lane. Nothing about this sequel to the lackluster Troll has anything to do with trol... read morels first of all, since the creatures who are running around are repeatedly called goblins. If you had to describe Troll 2 in a short, descriptive way, it would be: a family goes on vacation, followed by the daughter's boyfriend and his entourage, and come into contact with a town filled with goblins, a strange witch somehow connected to them and powered by the supernatural elements of a rock from Stonehenge (what?) who are vegetarians so they turn people into plants. Yeah, it somehow sounds less silly than it actually is, to be perfectly frank. Many of the actors connected to this are child actors or/and unknowns who act like they've never seen human beings before. One person has described this as a film that looks like it was made by aliens trying to show how humans act from an otherworldly perspective. That's a fair assessment, as the dialogue has no realistic qualities, especially the teenage daughter who talks like a copy of a copy of a Valley girl meets teenage wasteland. Though none of this is very amazing, it is so prolifically bad that you feel smarter for having watched it. I add the proclamation that this deserves to be watched with a large group of friends who love movies and love picking apart the ones that are a detriment to society. This, like The Room, is a film so bad it's good, and watching the irregularity of the stupid humor and stupider horror really gives me thrills. It's not bad in a way that hurts movies as a media, because the people who made it actually cared about the end product, which only endears you more to how awful it is. I watched this only a couple days ago and I already want to watch it again, and if you watch it too, it will become your addiction.

    NO STAR RATING.
    Before I begin this review, all me to do one thing. *screams in agony off of the top of my lungs* All of you better be thanking me for doing this. Believe me: If it was not for me suffering to write these reviews, then you might be plunged into the total hell that... read more is these films. But, enough of me complaining. Let's get onto this. Alrighty. To begin with, I want to point out that this is NOT a sequel to the better (only by a few hairs) film Troll. This film is completely unrelated, does not feature a single Troll (all the creatures are Goblins), and only is called Troll 2 to go and cash in on the minimal success of the earlier film (success my ***). Okay, that out of the way, let me say a few things about the director. Claudio Fragasso is a complete idiot. I am not joking. This Italian director, who can not speak English, written the script in English and moved out to some north-western state in America to film this... whatever it is. So, someone explain to me the point in even trying this entire purpose of filming? Well, to this day the director does not see that his film is crap. If you try to tell him, you better be ready to fight for he has been known to beat up anyone that says this film is crap. Now, lets get down to the main aspects. In terms of direction, there is no redeeming qualities at all. The pacing would be beyond bad if it was not for the laughing you will find yourself doing while watching this film. Seriously, out of all the films that have been deemed the worst, this film is the most hilarious of them all due to how bad the direction is. Now the acting. In all my years of seeing films, I would have never said this but it must be said: These actors make the people in Twilight look like Academy award winners. Need I say more? yes? Fine, here is one of the best lines in this show: "They're eating her! Then they will eat me! OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!" Say this line, and imagine a giant fly walking across your forehead. Just, wow. Now for the script. Okay, can someone explain who decided to allow this dumb idiot to write in a scene that involves a ten year old kid to stand on a table and urinate on his family, their dinner, and all over their kitchen? Who allowed him to write this sub-plot about a grandfather who gives his son a Molotov bomb, and what is with the weird popcorn sex scene and the 'ultimate weapon against the goblins'? I mean, this is why the Razzie awards were made. Finally the score. Except for one fake metal piece during the most random scenes before a mirror breaks, the music makes rap music sound good to me. Overall, all I am going to say is this: there is a reason why this film has a documentary called 'Best Worst Movie' that explains how bad this movie is.

    Epic suck-fest (*see also: The Room, Gymkata, etc.). Worth watching for the unintentionally hysterical moments.

    It is probably one of the worst films ever made, but I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy every waking moment of this movie. Arguably one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time.

    You may ask yourself, why did I give this film such a high rating? considering this is viewed as THE worst film ever made.Simple, I think this is the type of film that it's so bad, it's great. Obviously the story, is terrible, and the acting sucks; but there's something to truly... read more enjoy about Troll 2, and it's simply a fun bad comedy horror film. Another reason I give this film a positive review is because of the many hilarious one liners and ludicrous bad acting. This is one terrific bad film. Troll 2 deserves the title of the worst film ever made, and the fact that it's very silly makes it a very fun film to watch. Not since Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive have I enjoyed such a bad Horror film as this one. This will definitely stay with you long after you've seen it. It's a real treat to watch, and if you have doubts about seeing it, It's better than Uwe Boll's Alone In The Dark and In The Name Of The King. For me at least,. I've seen worst films than Troll 2, but this is such a great bad film that if you love bad cinema from time to time, then give this one a shot. This film is quite possibly the best example of bad cinema at it's finest. Overall, Troll 2 is very bad, but a lot of fun to watch. There's nothing wrong with laughing and having a good time is it?: If your looking for both, don't pass up on this gem.
