Let's talk about terrible movies. Immediately "Sharknado", basically all Syfy movies, "Rubber", "Thankskilling", and some others I have not got around to seeing yet come to mind. But, these movies typically seem like all they are trying to accomplish is make a movie that can be jeered at by using ludicrous story lines and CGI, and all are made in the hopes that people will love this movie because it is so bad. I remember a time( or at least watched movies from a time) when bad movies were bad but due to their attempt at being critically acclaimed. In particular, I am talking about "Troll 2".
"Troll 2" or the best worst movie is a masterpiece of inept acting, out of place scenes, by far the best story line, and a completely unfitting title. To begin, the title, "Troll 2" has nothing to do with the story, in fact, the producer/director chose that name because there was already a movie called, "Troll". Originally intended to be a praised horror film this movie did the exact opposite by causing national screenings where people only came to laugh. This movie is quite terrifying if you consider a chihuahua with balloons for paws as terrifying( weird example but you know what I mean).
This movie is essentially about a family going to a summer home in the country town "Nilbog". Recently, the son of the family has been seeing his late grandfather who continues to tell him stories about goblins who happened to feast on humans by giving them strange concoctions that turn them into vegetation. These goblins do so by feigning their appearance as humans. Within this masterpiece, I cannot say I have an exact favorite scene, but after this movie "Row, Row, Row Your Boat", popcorn, and eating sandwiches are so much more enjoyable.
This film's powerful story and script, according to the Italian director), is a based off of American culture, but who really knows? When it comes to the actors, I personally believe it is fantastic that the actors are not A-listers or anything of that nature because when they act, they act with passion even if their passion seems clumsy. How often do you have a dentist as an actor, like seriously?
When watching this movie, gather a group, the best and most delightful way of watching this movie is with friends, otherwise, you will reek of unknown references. In addition, you will have a significant increase of love for well produced and directed movies. On a final note, for the love of god watch this movie if you want to have a happy life, not that yours is not good right now, watch this movie because it could be so much better.
