Review of Troll 2 (1990) by Andrew P — 29 Sep 2010
It's really hard to judge this film. If you go purely on the merits of its filmmaking it has to rank as an atrocity against nature. The effects, acting, camerawork, pretty much every aspect of it is so terrible that it shoots into a new stratosphere of incompetence.
But watch it as a sort of so-bad-it's-good midnight movie and there are plenty yucks to be had. The awfulness onscreen turns into a sort of "Holy crap this is terrible" guilty pleasure. While it doesn't reach the sort of grand heights that "Showgirls" does - and I still think director Paul Verhoeven made it that way - it is something that people should see, if only to just have an appreciation for good films when they see them.
What other movie gives the sage advice that "you don't piss on hospitality"?
