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.

Rated: 1/4

Entertainment Weekly

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.

Lessons of Darkness

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

Troll 2 is an awful film, but it's just too silly and stupid not to love.

Gone With The Twins

Perhaps the biggest question is how this film obtained its title when there are no trolls anywhere to be found.

Rated: 2/10

While Troll 2 is undeniably awful, there's plenty to enjoy if you're a fan of epically terrible movies.

Vegan Trolls turn people into veggies for food. Great popcorn flick that's best watched in groups. It's bad in a good way. The acting is bad. But the actors put so much effort into their performances, that even the worst performance ends up being rather hilarious and enjoyable to watch. Sit down with a group of friends and start making fun MSTK300 style.
