Review of Best Worst Movie (2009) by Daniel B — 08 Nov 2013

This documentary is fascinating - I didn't know about Troll 2 before watching this on Netflix, and it's amazing to see the underground fandom for the movie, and the confusion with which the actors who were in the movie (and the director who made it) approach the whole situation.

I think the documentary could have been a bit shorter - it started to lose me about fifteen or so minutes from the end. Maybe that's because at that point you begin to see a little bit of what appears to be the actual craziness of one of the former actors, and you begin to wonder whether director Claudio Fragasso is actually a bit angry at all of these people labeling what he clearly still considers a masterpiece a "bad movie".

Regardless, this is an interesting look at the kind of ravenous fandom that a cult phenomenon can generate.
