Did you do a lot of drugs before we were married?

Another great project in which Charles Band took part in, none other than the classic movie Troll. After moving into a new apartment building, The potters start to notice weird things going on with their youngest child, almost as if she is not herself. Right about their suspicions, but not knowing it yet, The daughterโ€™s body is taken over by a troll and normal gets further away for this building... read more

Compared to Troll 2, this film was trying. The acting, effects, score, monsters, scares, Story, just almost everything was actually put effort into. Troll was trying and to me, it succeeded

Terrible, but at least it sort of entertains

Troll is not as bad as its sequel, which is horrendous(yet you sort of get some entertainment at how bad it is), but I would be lying if I said it wasn't a terrible movie. The production values are quite shoddy, the cinematography is slip-shod while the costumes are hokey. The sound effects range from okay-ish to truly bizarre, and the story is weak and quite predictable. That's not all, the direc... read more

Terrible, but at least it sort of entertains

“Troll is not as bad as its sequel, which is horrendous(yet you sort of get some entertainment at how bad it is), but I would be lying if I said it wasn't a terrible movie.

The production values are quite shoddy, the cinematography is slip-shod while the costumes are hokey. The sound effects range from okay-ish to truly bizarre, and the story is weak and quite predictable. That's not all, the direction is sloppy, the script is dreadfully corny but somewhat hilarious in the way that it doesn't know which direction to take, and the acting from all involved is terrible. Oh, and the troll is more silly than scary.

Yet I actually got some entertainment out of it, also it is quite short, has a cool score and goes quickly, so overall it is not a complete waste of time. 3/10 Bet” read more
