Troll 2 is bad. Very, very bad. The script is stupid, the acting is wooden, the special effects are laughable, the vintage-80s synthesizer score is cheesy.

Taking off in its own entirely misguided direction, it tells the story of an average (not to mention lousy-acting) American family that vacations in a town infested with Marty Allen clones who cause folks to sweat green chlorophyll and turn into trees.

It's rare to find a film with such an ignominious reputation actually living up to the hype.

There's ultimately some fun to be had here, though none of it is as satisfying as what you got in the first movie.

Troll 2's lack of production value, awful acting and nonsensical plot would easily make this film a disaster, but its sense of humor and inability to take itself seriously serves as the greatest strength of the film making for a fun and hysterical watch.

While Troll 2’s blemishes are part of its appeal, the film still manages to be fun, entertaining, and inventive for reasons outside of its “badness”. It is a very good bad movie.

an effort to understand its laws and cultural norms. Misunderstandings happen when people,newcomers or locals, operate without that awareness. Even minor incidents, such as spilling coffee on purpose and not recognizing the expected response, can create avoidable tension.

If you are looking for Meryl Streep quality acting with special effects akin to Titantic, then save yourself the watch. On the other hand, if you love a good folklore story and want a bit escapism, then this is for you. I do also think the Troll scenes are really good!

This movie is 5 stars for all the wrong reasons. The acting is so hilariously bad that it is almost good and the plot is also hilariously dumb. If you liked this one I’d recommend watching ‘best worst movie’

I mean what I can say about the film. It is a legendary entry in bad movie lore with; an incomprehensible script, over the top and hammy acting and laughable effects but the film is definition of so bad it’s good that everyone should watch
