This is pretty much the holy grail of bad movies inside the looney bin, with the name being a troll attempt for a few bangers practically since there wasn’t a single troll in this backfired attempt of a movie. I still don’t see how the critics cooked up a lot of distaste for this movie, since a coming of age movie that claims to share the same title of genre as movies like The Evil Dead and Dawn of the Dead, centered around goblins on a coming of age family road trip of a boy with the same amount of likability as a squeaky tire is one hell of a hysterical formula.

Apparently the director took pride in his work with this one:
Yet he couldn’t spare ten seconds of research to learn that goblins share no resemblance to trolls at all. This has to be one of the most infamous misapprehensions that I’ve seen in a movie, creating tons of false stereotypical conspiracy theories on these mythical beings.

You should, lol. Here’s another scene that will get you hooked, with it demonstrating how to not do visual effects for a trick motion with a budget of $200,000:
The director couldn’t have been genuine when he was praising his work with a straight face.

I've always thought
Troll 2
was intentionally bad. I'm pretty sure it's a parody. The people involved couldn't possibly have believed they were making a good movie.
There are 8.2 billion people in the world. 8.19 billion of them have never heard of and don't give a fuck about Charlie Kirk. Get over it.
