“You can’t piss on hospitality. I won’t allow it!”
“Nilbog! It’s Goblin spelled backwards!”
“They’re eating her… and then they’re going to eat me… Oh my goooooood!”
If you’ve never heard one of those sentences before, you immediately have to watch this flick as soon as possible.
Why? Well, it’s officially the best worst movie of all times.
A movie so unbefuckinglievably bad, it’s actually… well… it’s just bad (but in an entertaining way!) with super-lame and completely untalented actors, a hilariously rubbish plot (Veggie horror anyone?), horrible effects, awful settings, laughable make-up (potato sacks and green jelly), laughable costumes (created by porn actress Laura Gemser!), a horribly annoying synth soundtrack, batshit insane dialogue (“There’s no coffee in Nilbog. It’s the devil’s drink.”) and a whole load of completely idiotic scenes (death by popcorn, the Bologna sandwich of death etc.), plus: it has got nothing, absolutely NOTHING to do with part 1!
I bet you’ll scream ‘Oh my gooooood!’ after watching this ‘masterpiece’
Comedic masterpiece (even it was unintentional). I dont think Ive watched any other movie more times than I have Troll 2. The perfect movie to gather up some friends and rip through a case of beer with.
This is one of the best worst movies ever. The first was awesome. Shit they don’t make them like they used too. Yeah the acting sucks, (who cares) yeah it is cheese (who cares) yeah the plot is some of the gayest shit ever (WHO CARES) your in to see trolls turn people into cucumbers and eat them LOL your in it to see them kill. AMAZING> and I think JK ROWLING got her inspiration from Harry Potter since this was the name of the guy. LOL classic.
AMAZING FILM> And will always be AMAZING
No, this isn’t one of those good bad movies. It’s just bad. 100%. I’m all about cheese, but this film is almost unwatchable. The first one’s a classic, it didn’t need this totally moronic unrelated sequel.
Though I will admit that pissing on your parents food is hilarious.
I’ve been watching this flick since it was released. I love how absolutely terrible it is.. Classic
I absolutely agree with the site’s review of the movie! hah
God this movie is fucking horrible. Just because its so bad its good doesnt make it a good movie, its still a piece of shit no matter what you call it.
Classic quotable disasterpiece.
Troll 2 is really the best bad movie ever made, and among horror freaks one of the most quoted.
Fun fact: No trolls appear in the entirety of Troll 2.
Great cheesey goodness that just will never die and I for one am glad. A family made up of really bad actors does a house exchange (BC THOSE EXIST) and end up in Nilbog (It’s Dracula spelled backwards!!!)
Meanwhile our hero is huanted (in a nice way) by the ghost of his recently passed Grandfather. Suddenly the town of Nilbog isn’t so friendly when it turns out all of the townsfolk are evil goblins trying to eat the family!
“Oh my Go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-d”
Can Joshua save his family?
Will the monsters of Nilbog win?
Why would you readily eat a bunch of food with green slime on it?
All these questions will be answered in Troll 2
PS this will be forever remembered as the first blueray I ever purchased.
Closing thoughts?
you can’t piss on hospitality
First let me say I’ve seen this movie twice, once as a kid because I loved the first one so much and once as an adult with 3 of my friends because we happened to stumble upon it while flipping through the tv. I hated it then, and I hated in now. I remember even when i was little how inappropriate it was to even call this movie troll 2. The cover art doesn’t even have anything to do with the movie!
When I saw it a year ago or so, I had convinced my friends to sit through it because they had never heard that a sequel was made. This movie is offensive. It’s absurd in every way imaginable and only gets worse as it goes along. My friends almost walked out when the kid started eating the double decker bologna sandwich. The acting is atrocious and you wonder if they just found these people on the street. There are no special effects to be found, just green jello and supplies from a Halloween store, possibly the $1 rack. The movie is unwatchable while sober.
With all that said, still, whenever the film comes up in conversation amongst my friends, we laugh a lot and enjoy talking about it to other people who weren’t there, describing it as if we watched a train derail or something. I guess that means the movie has some impact in that’s it memorable, but not in a good way.
In film sense it truely is the worst film ever made. The story and script are both atrocious, the effects are cheap, and the acting is horrendous. It’s title of worst film ever can’t be understood unless you see it. For that reason I recommend it but I couldnt stand watching it again. It starts off “so bad it’s funny” but it quickly goes to “so bad it’s unwatchable”. So, if you want to see how bad it truely is then by all means watch it. But I’ll probably never see it again.
Score: 0/10
Classic
love it!
So bad it’s good.
So bad it’s good? No. Best worst movie? No, that goes to Terror Toons. This movie is just awful. Waste of time and waste of space on this planet.
Troll 2 is Epic! If you love Cheesy 80′s Horror and you have not yet seen it, Stop what you are doing right now and see this film.
The popcorn scene is worth the price of the movie by itself!!
It was so cheesy and stupid it was kind of fun, but don’t expect anything more. There is a few fx, and a bit of goo, but not much gore. The acting is terrible, the costumes are terrible and the story is lame. Doesn’t even compare to cheese classics like toxic avenger.
gnizama is amazing spelled backwards!
Such a complete piece of crap that it is actually worth watching. Up there with Zoltan The Hound Of Dracula, Frankenhooker, and Evil Ed (director’s cut) as one of my favorite BAD movies.
How anyone cannot like this movie is beyond me. So hilarious and entertaining, I’d rather watch this than Citizen Kane.
piece of garbage.Dont encourage people to waste their money on this crap!!
Best Worse Movie fits the genere for the truly so bad that it’s good category.A film you throw in at drunken gatherings for reactions.Remember this is bad real bad,But for some reason I can’t stop loving it.Watch it cheap before buying it.Cult Classic.
We’ve all seen the scene on youtube (if you haven’t, you should) of a boy watching goblins eat a girl and yelling, “They’re eating her! Then they’re going to eat me! Oh my gooooooood!” That wonderful gem is courtesy of Troll 2. Hailed as the “best worst movie”, it definitely earns its reputation as being terribly awesome, wonderfully awful, and hilariously bad but honestly, after experiencing The Room, I am unable to crown this as King of the best worst movies.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s definitely worthy of the title but it’s just not as awful and ridiculous as The Room was. I never thought I’d be looking down on a film for not being bad enough. Strange.
Anyway, the best part about Troll 2 is that there isn’t one troll in the entire flick. The monsters are goblins and there kingdom is a town called Nilbog. That’s right, Nilbog. I really hope I don’t have to spell that out for you. A family travels to Nilbog for a quite vacation (the town has a total of 26 residents, all goblins in disguise) and though they’ve been warned against it by the son, Joshua (via the ghost of his grandfather), they still make the trip. You won’t be seeing this for the story at all. This is strictly for entertainment purposes and to give you a good laugh and trust me, it will.
The film is very quotable and downright ridiculous. The acting is god awful, the writing is atrocious, and the story doesn’t really even make sense. How were the goblins scared off? By a “double decker bologna sandwich!” Yeah, I forgot to mention that the goblins in Nilbog are vegetarians and they turn their victims into plant people before they eat them (or amount them to some vegetarian goo of sorts… yeah). I could go on and on talking about certain scenes and lines but I won’t. I will say that the actor’s faces alone are terrifyingly hilarious and there is a scene involving an extreme make out session with some corn and it gets so hot that it turns into popcorn. Yup, this flick was really going for gold with that scene.
It seriously blows my mind that films like Troll 2 are even made. Granted, I am very happy they are because they give me endless amounts of joy but it just makes me think, “Who the hell gave funding to this? If they can do it, I surely can.” A documentary was recently made about the film entitled Best Worst Movie and I am eager to see it. I’m curious to see what became of the actors and filmmakers involved in this project. My guess is that they didn’t do too much outside of the realm of Troll 2 but I could be wrong. Unlikely, but it’s possible. Anything is possible. That must have been the advice given to director Claudio Fragasso before making the film. “Claud, you know, anything is possible!” Troll 2 is proof.
