For the past year or so we’ve enjoyed spending time with friends finding and watching the worst movies we can find. It started with Return of the Living Dead with our friends Seth and Keri which is filled with countless one liners, an over the top story and some of the worst acting performances I’ve ever seen… I was confident that we had found one of the worst films ever created… I am happy to announce that I was dead wrong! With a little help from youtube we stumbled upon a delightful film called Troll 2… A film considered by many to be the worst film ever created.
Troll 2 is the exciting sequel to the forgettable Troll 1 which unlike its successor had impressive production values but a slow and pointless story. If you are unfortunate enough to have seen the first Troll movie, fear not! Troll 2 has no relation, in fact the film has no mention of Trolls except in the title… sorry folks only Goblins in this cult classic. This wonderful example of cinema history is filmed in Morgan Utah!
Troll 2 is a tale of Joshua and his family traveling to a small country town to participate in a house swap for the next month, landing themselves in the peaceful town of Nilbog. Once there, Joshua's dead grandfather returns to warn him of the evils of Nilbog and tries to get him to convince his family to leave. His parents and sister ignore him. Joshua learns that the town's inhabitants are actually burlap wearing goblins. And that their mission is to get outsiders to eat their goblin food, turning them into trees, where they can be eaten and devoured (the goblins are vegetarians). He must work with the ghost of his grandfather to rid the town of its goblins and restore peace to Nilbog.
The funny thing about this movie is that I’ve now watched this at least three times simply to watch people’s reactions and it becomes funnier with every single viewing. I would love to describe my favorite moments of this film but words can’t describe this wonderful mess of a movie. You’ll ask yourself how a script like this was ever financed and created.
There are movies that are bad. There are movies that are so-bad they're-good. And then there's Troll 2… a movie that's so bad that it defies comprehension.
