Dodgy Film Club: Troll 2



This is probably the closest thing to The Room I’ve seen in a while in terms of lols per minute. We’ve been waiting long time to watch it and it was worth the wait! Terrible acting, low budget special effects and a plot that’s as mad as a bag of spiders. There’s also a ‘vegetarians are evil’ theme as the baddies are veggies for some reason.

Some fun facts:

  • This film features no trolls, no trolls at all!
  • It’s not even a sequel to Troll (1).
  • AKA ‘Return of the Troll’
  • The leading actors turned up to auditions to try out for roles as extras.
  • It features a pretty messed up relationship between a deceased grandfather and his grandson, via appearing in his bedroom/mirror at night and being a bit of a creep in general.
 Highlights include:

  • A ‘freeze frame’ scene where the actors can be seen moving/twitching/smiling/you name it!
  •  The father very obviously paying no attention to the emotion he is meant to be conveying and just running through the script in his head, waiting for his line.
  • Liberal amounts of green food dye, the cheapest of the food dyes.
  • A sex scene featuring that most sensual of food; corn!
  • People being turned into trees for no apparent reason.
  • The genuine concern that getting punched in the crotch will make you a homosexual (srsly)
  • Continuity mistakes all over the gaf!
  • That classic solution to every American family problem: a séance!
