Movie Reviews of Troll/Troll 2
Movie Review: This is the one. The Holy Grail.
Summary: 5 Stars
Once upon a time, I fancied that I knew a little something about bad movies.
Well, in fact I was getting rather vain about it. I turned up my nose at people who think "Showgirls" or "Gigli" are great anti-movies, when in fact they are only about 15 percent worse than the usual Hollywood dreck. Almost as bad were those who took the well-trod path of "Plan 9" or "Hitler's Brain", which, while quite deliciously bad in spots, are, in the final analysis, little more than amateurish relics of a bygone era.
No, while those flicks are, in their own way, modestly amusing, they were not for me: my palate was more refined; my bad taste was just a bit better than that of the common herd. I was quite the anti-connoisseur (or so I thought). My preference was for the finely aged Italian imitation cheese of the seventies and eighties. Movies such as "The New Barbarians" and "Star Crash" topped my list, although I could also dip my beak with pleasure into such anti-musical masterpieces as "The Apple" or "Can't Stop the Music" on occasion, or enjoy the modern anti-comedy stylings of a Tom Green in "Freddy Got Fingered", or even the classic anti-blockbuster "Battlefield Earth".
I was a fool. I stand before you naked today to confess that until I saw "Troll 2", I knew nothing at all about what a bad movie could truly be.
All my former preconceptions: gone. All of what I took to be my knowledge: vanished without a trace.
I know that my view of film has changed forever. And I still don't know how to deal with it. For now, I have walled off "Troll 2" in a special part of my mind. This movie simply does not seem possible; it just does not compute. I place it as an anamoly, as a "special case", so that I can continue to live in my own little world, continue to have my own little list of favorites, my own little pet theories about what makes a great anti-movie.
But some day, I will have to look this green-blooded, rubbery goblin mask square in its face, and deal with what "Troll 2" has done to me, has done to us all.
And so will you.
Troll 2 is the holy grail of bad movies. It will never be topped. At least once in your life, you must stand in the light that it casts upon human consciousness. And you, too, will never be the same again.
