Troll 2 →

Watch it alone, and you’ll laugh. Watch it with friends, and you’ll create a religion. Watch it stoned at 2 AM, and you might just see the face of God (who looks suspiciously like a goblin in a rubber mask holding a corncob).

No human being has ever said the following sentence with a straight face: "They're eating her... and then they're going to eat me... OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOD!" This line, delivered by a young actor as he watches his girlfriend get slowly absorbed into a plant, has achieved immortality. It is the "Rosebud" of the bad movie world. Watch it alone, and you’ll laugh

Claudio Fragasso actually thought he was making a terrifying horror film. He wanted to criticize vegetarianism and American consumerism. He wanted to scare children. The fact that he created a slapstick comedy about haunted corn and magical cold cuts is not irony—it’s alchemy. His utter sincerity is the fuel that makes the fire burn so bright. Troll 2 doesn’t get the "Worst Movie Ever" crown from me as an insult. It is a celebration. In an era of polished, focus-grouped, algorithm-approved blockbusters, Troll 2 is a beautiful, screaming reminder that someone, somewhere, had a vision. That vision was broken, badly executed, and completely insane—but it was a vision . Have you survived the horror of Nilbog

There are goblins. Vegan goblins, to be precise. And that absurd contradiction—a monster movie without its title monster, featuring villains who want to turn people into plants so they don’t have to eat meat—is the perfect gateway into the beautiful, baffling chaos that is Claudio Fragasso’s 1990 masterpiece of incompetence.
