Review of Troll (1986) by Drago? C — 16 Jun 2015
The Troll Series or, rather, moniker as the movies are wholly unrelated and feature no trolls aside from the first one, has achieved fame/infamy through the now world famous second movie, a quintessential example of 'so bad it's good'.
Yet the first one is odd and fascinating on its own. A horror movie where both the hero and the villain are kids? The evil douchy troll villain actually has a heary and empathy for a sickly dwarf english professor? Sonny Bono and Julia Louis Dreyfus? Masterful puppetry, a lighthearted slapstick tone and that je ne sais quoi that allowed american horror-for-kids cinema to bloom in one of the most conservative times in living media history make this film a truly bizarre and often enjoyable watch.
