The phenomena called Troll 2

Troll 2 is known for being one of the strangest and most awesomely terrible movies of all time. If you haven't seen it you should atleast check out scenes of it from youtube. Me and my friends have been renting terrible movies for a very long time now and this among one of the most ridiculous.

What is so interesting about this one in particular is the pop cultural phenomena that this movie has sparked. It has grown increasingly in popularity by word of mouth of how hilarious this film is. In it's day now it is by far more popular than it ever has been. The popularity has merited a new documentary coming out about the growing popularity of this movie and what the people that were involved with making it are up to now. I find it amazing how this film was such a huge flop only to increasingly grow in popularity over the years. People just love laughing at this movie which I completely understand as watching movies like this has been such a huge tradition with my friends for a long time.

It is amazing to see one of the starring actors and what he is doing now, he is now a dentist and his experience with the movie had seemed to have been forgotten. Now 20 years later he has become a huge cult icon all of a sudden because of peoples love for this movie.

Here is the trailer for the new documentary...

I also highly recommend checking out clips of Troll 2 on youtube if you aren't familiar with the movie.

  1. Considering the cost it takes to make a movie, why do people put out things like Troll 2 or any other aweful science fiction films that flood Movie Stop? I enjoy an awful flick every now and then but some movies just shouldn't be made, and yet here we are with a wall of poorly made movies. I've never even heard of Troll 2, so I don't know much about it specifically, but low budget films are time-a-dozen and I have no idea why.

  3. Is it possible that the director(s) tour around the country showing either the original, the sequel, or the doc? I feel like I saw a flier for this at Indiana last month...
