Review of Troll (1986) by Xou X — 15 Aug 2009

The fact that I found this film to be humerous can almost question my judgment. But hey, I had fun with this junk. John Carl Buechler is known for making crappy horror films yet I found this one to be the funniest. Oh dont forget, it has a Harry Potter reference. Woooooooo. Literally.

The plot follows this new family that moves into this apartment. All feels well until the young Wendy(Jenny Beck) stumbles into the laundry room. Whoops. She is then kidnapped by a troll in which the troll takes her place. From that point, the troll terrorizes families and turns them into vegetables. So that he can revive his fairy buddies. What do you know, thats the plot. Its up to Harry Potter Jr to save the apartment from going green. Damn republican. Oh the trolls name is Torok. Any reference to the game Turok?

This is in all sense a silly film but silly fun. Its not boring and I found myself enjoying this old crap. It makes me wonder if J.K Rowling stole the potter idea from Troll. Besides, who wouldnt. Harry Potter and The Green Troll. Sounds like Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince. They can be the same. Snape is evil, so is Troll. Troll knows magic, so does Snape. The only difference is their height. And maybe appearance. I wouldnt bother with the idea. This is a film that I actually recommend.

From silly games to seductive little girls, this is the most likley film to make you laugh. Even in the most serious moments. It never succeeds in becoming a great horror film but it does end up to be cheap popcorn flick. As your done watching this, you think to yourself "What Did I Watch?". And you answer, crap but good crap. Troll can turn people into peapods but its interesting to see if it can turn me into a fan.
