So Bad It’s Terrible! TROLL 2 Midnights at The Tivoli This Weekend

“Half man, half plant. A goblin’s favorite food!”

TROLL 2 plays this weekend (June 24th and 25th) at The Tivoli at midnight as part of their Reel Late at the Tivoli midnight series.

Finally, a movie so bad, it has its own separate documentary about just how bad it is! TROLL 2 is one of the most unbelievable sequels ever made, and one supposedly shot entirely without the knowledge or consent of the creators of the first TROLL film!

At first glance TROLL 2 is simply a sub-Z-grade continuity abomination, but really it’s a nonstop explosion of genius disguised as ineptitude. Grade-schooler Joshua is visited by the protective ghost of his Grandpa Seth, who warns him that his family’s vacation destination – the town of Nilbog (!) may be worth avoiding. But there’s no changing dad’s mind, and soon the whole family is knee-deep in black magic and nefarious villagers, including the remarkably abnormal `Sheriff Gene Freak’. Joshua and his dead grandpa are the only ones aware of their mortal danger, which Joshua at one point attempts to curb by urinating all over the dinner table. Worth noting is the fact that `trolls’ aren’t mentioned once in the film, while the threat of goblins remains all too real. Directed by `Drago Floyd’, who was actually Claudio Fragasso, a low-rent auteur from Italy who most notably directed Alice Cooper in MONSTER DOG.

One really strange part of TROLL 2 that’ll stick in my head for eternity is where of the teenagers is with the green-plant-mutating-paint woman in the trailer holding a cob of corn with her mouth seducing the guy, and the guy says “I’d like popcorn” or something like that and then suddenly a load of popcorn comes in at them because of the woman’s spell.

TROLL 2 is Mind-numbing, awful stuff. Don’t miss it! And remember – bologna sandwiches are always the prime weapon against goblins!

TROLL 2 screens this weekend (June 24th and 25th) at The Tivoli at midnight as part of their Reel Late at the Tivoli midnight series.
