Halloween Movie Recommendation #13:
Troll 2 (1990)
"The original boogeyman is back!"
Directed by Claudio Fragasso
Starring: Michael Stephenson, George Hardy and Margo Prey
"Those greedy goblins are back and hungrier than ever in this gourmet gross-out! Disguised as friendly country folk, a pungnacious posse of people-eating trolls lures visitors to their town. But a family of four is about to discover this place is a real tourist trap...and they're the prey! Now, the no-good gnomes must be destroyed before the family gets flambed...and the world becomes a buffet in this feeding freezy of fear!" (Blu-Ray)
I'm recommending Troll 2 because it's so awesomely bad that it has to be seen, especially if one loves other bad movies such as The Room (2003) and Birdemic: Shock and Terror (2010). Why is it so awesomely bad? Well, it's better if you just watch and find out for yourself, but I'll say that acting is awful as is the dialogue. The costumes for the goblins (despite the movie being Troll 2, there are no trolls like the first one, only goblins) look like they stuck some extras in potato sacks and threw on some cheap Halloween masks. I could go on, but like I said earlier, it's something you have to watch for yourself to truly understand how bad and awesome the movie is!
After watching the movie, I'd also recommend that one watches Best Worst Movie (2009). It's a documentary, written and directed by Michael Stephenson (Joshua), about how the movie became the cult classic that it is.
