Troll 2: Citizen Cane of Bad, Unintentionally Humorous Horror Movies
Has anyone here seen this movie? A few months ago, I watched a documentary about it, which greatly interested me in the film. Yesterday, I came across a copy of it and picked it up.
It is, by far, the best purchase I’ve made this year. I cannot accurately describe how amazing this movie is, but can only say that everyone on the planet NEEDS to watch it. It’s that important.

I’ve also seen that documentary (parts of it, anyhow) and have wanted to see Troll 2 for some time. I might have to netflix it or the upcoming halloween season.
I want to see both the documentary and the movie, but by far the best thing about it (that I know of) is that it has absolutely nothing to do with the first Troll movie.
They don’t even say the word “Troll” in the movie — it was somehow supplanted by “Goblin.”
On a semi-related note, I just watched Sleepaway Camp for the first time over the weekend whilst camping up in the mountains. We made fun of the movie for being horrible for it’s entire duration and then the last 10 seconds of the movie horrified me so much I had nightmares and didn’t want to get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night cause every time I opened my eyes, my mind transposed Angela standing there in the dark naked and covered in blood making that awful face.
Holy shit. What an ending.
The second one blew, though.
What, John, you don’t like the acting career of Bruce Springsteen’s little sister?
I love the first Sleepaway Camp. It’s campy and goofy. And I agree that the last shot is absolutely horrifying.
I don’t think Troll 2 is entertaining as a bad movie, it’s just plain bad and boring. But I’m in the minority on that one, it seems. Plenty of better options for horrible movies that are fun to watch. Queue up Rock N’ Roll Nightmare.
Oh man. I saw Troll 2. I used to watch it all the time when I was young. The acting is horrendous. I havent seen it in years though. Thank you for reminding me of this quality film.
Oh wow I have definitely seen this movie in full. Is this the one set in the town of Nilbog?
Wait, you watched a movie while camping? I think there’s a disconnect here.
Yeah, I broke a cardinal rule of mine for camping, but then this was somewhere between camping and hanging out at someone’s mountain house. It’s a trailer and we slept indoors and whatnot. But the only reason we even went inside at all was cause a goddam bear was stalking about. So inside we went and the scary camping movies went on.
Without exaggerating, Hutch was only saved by being mauled by a bear by sheer luck.
While drinking near the campfire someone heard crunching noises coming from the darkened woods around us. Hutch went to the periphery of the light radius to check it out, thinking it was a neighbor. Finding nothing, he returned to the picnic table. Not five minutes later a mid-sized black bear walks through EXACTLY where Hutch was standing in the darkness. It was at this point we took our business indoors, though reluctantly for Hutch.
He preferred to stand outside with a hatchet, trying to get a second look at a bear in its natural habitat.
I HAD A HATCHET. I was perfectly safe.
I’ve been up north twice in the past month, assured by park rangers that I would see a bear, and I always feel safe with my hatchet. Sadly, I haven’t seen any.
Dammit, why did my free Netflix trial have to end before i saw this.

See a bear? We could have pet the goddamn thing. My cousin-in-law offered to toss jelly doughnuts over the camper to keep it around longer.
Black bears = not scary. They invade our softball games on a regular basis, and no one bats an eyelash. Yet another reason why north Jersey shits on south Jersey I guess.
Let the record show I wanted to fight the bear with a hatchet. It was the PA people and the North Jersey-ite who ran.
I’ve seen this whole movie a while ago, Ammar made the band watch it, it’s awesome. we used to start a song by saying “it’s their kingdom” (watch it if you don’t understand) instead of a count off.
A late® spin through Hulu’s less popular movies yielded this: http://www.hulu.com/watch/31381/troll-2
…just in case someone was REALLY itching to watch it as I intend to do….rightnow.
