409) Troll 2 (1990) Dir: Claudio Fragasso Date Released (DTV): July 1992 Date Seen: November 22, 2009 Rating: 0.25/5
Bad troll costumes, terrible acting, gaping plot holes, more terrible acting, inexplicable cuts, inexplicable dead grandfather, inexplicable Videodrome reference, inexplicable Dr. Lizardo impersonator? OK! I can see this premise working though given a better execution of it. Now we wait for some inspired crazies to come along and try to remake it, ala that "serious" new version of Plan 9 from Outer Space (whatever happened to that)?
There is no rating scale to properly evalute what this movie is. I saw it as part of a midnight screening put on by the folks behind "Best Worst Movie" (http://bestworstmovie.com) and enjoyed myself quite a bit. I find it hilarious that the movie's claim to fame for the longest time was being the worst user rated film on IMDB, but because of its cult fan base it actually climbed out of cellar a couple of years ago. IMDB scores notwithstanding though, it really is one of the worst films ever made -- gloriously so, of course.
