HO. LEE. HELL!

Granted, the script DID apparently come from someone writing in english as a second languge, but seriously, this must be one of the worst movies ever made in any context.

To it's credit, if this movie won't make you laugh at badness, nothing will.

I can't wait to subject other people to it :hot:
"Do you have something against droppings?" "Well, no, I..." "Sure, everyone says that till they step in it."

 Oh great God in his South Coast Heaven!!!
 I thought I'd put this unquestionably sickening mess behind me. Forgotten. But no. Rising from the depths of my memory like a double pack (Troll 1 and 2) from a K mart discount bin held in my wifes hand. Knowing I'm about to be forced into watching another movie destined for Beer coster hood. Bloody 1000 corpses (see Howling III post 18).
 Even I couldn't have forseen what mediocraty lay ahead.
 It may be cruel and unusuall punishment, but I forced her to watch BOTH! One after the other. Without beer.
 That'll learn ya.

Even Rifftrax couldn't make this watchable for me.  It's such an ugly movie--unattractive characters both in looks and personality, horrible dialog delivered in a way that made me cringe, and gross "special" effects.  Seeing one or two people turn into green goo (there's more slime in this movie than in Ghostbusters II) was enough for me, and when it was plain that the movie was going to give me lots more of it at nauseating length, I had to switch it off.  Maybe I am a little squeamish; the sequence near the end of The Fountain when Hugh Jackman turns into a plant from inside out still creeps me out when I think about it.  In any case, I felt like wanting to take a shower after Troll II, which even the The Incredible Melting Man couldn't do, even though it's got slime scenes almost as gross.

Believe it or not, this movie scared the CRAP out of me when I was a little kid.

It's been a long, long time since I've seen this movie, but for some reason it has stuck in my mind. Unlike other B-movies, this is the bad kind of stuck. I guess it scarred me for life. I'm glad I can finally "exercise these demons." Where do I start? The kid p**sing on the food (that looks suspicious to begin with. I have no idea why anyone would eat that crap), the never-ending streams of uninteresting green blood, the sign being spelled backwards (as if you couldn't figure it out), and the fact that they actually made a sequel to Troll. This is not a guilty pleasure movie, it's just guilty.

Uh oh. Jim doesn't like the movie.

I like to make a statement about this film.  I saw 2 parts of this film when I was about... maybe 5 or 6.  I saw the part where the girl dissolves into that green plantstuff and that totally freaked me out.  When I look at it now... it looks so stupid.  The last part of the film I saw was when the goblins were scared by the baloney sandwich.  Even when I was that young, I thought that was idiotic and dumb.

Troll 2 deserves four slime drops  :bluesad:

I was so upset with this movie until about ten minutes in when I found that I couldn't stop laughing. Insanely over-the-top acting or unenthusiastic mono-tone dribble, lines worse than Ninja Turtles III, that kid's face, no trolls, simply retarded characters, absolutly atrocious monologue from the witch, hating on vegans, etc.

I had to start a new section in my movie collection for this. The "So bad, you have to," section.

Thing is, even if this film had been made in a competent manner....decent dialogue, okay acting....it would still suck.

It's a film about creatures who eat people (which should be creepy enough) but first they have to fool them into eating or drinking something that will turn them into plant life because actual meat will kill them....

Meanwhile, they're out in the sticks surrounded by actual plant life and farms full of vegetables and stuff they could be eating.....stuff that doesn't fight back.

W.....T.....F!!!!!!!

Why didn't this happen to me, when I was growing up?

"Troll 2"
Boy has hot sex with hot woman.

"Private Lessons"
Boy has hot sex with hot woman.

"Lair of the White Worm"
Bpy has hot sex with hot woman.

What did I do wrong? I was a good boy. LOL!

While this is a bad film. Maybe one of the worst ever made, I do admire the filmmakers boldness in having a boy who is under 19, or seems to be under 19, having sex with an adult woman. Most filmmakers would shy away from a scene like that for obvious reasons. Indeed, the three films named above--and two of them are European, whose attitudes toward sex are somewhat more liberal than American attitudes towardd the same subject--are the only times I have seen such a scene.

I finally watched Troll 2 yesterday! I loved it! :smile:

Note. IMO I think you REALLY need to be a fan of 'BAD movies' to enjoy it. :wink:

PS. I wish I had the soundtrack! :twirl:

Acutally, it is "I won't allow it!"  How dare you butcher that great line!   :tongueout:
