BEST WORST MOVIE

When I was a kid I used to trawl through my local video store in Lower Plenty, looking at all of the wonderful covers and renting weird and wonderful movies that only I gave a shit about. Troll 2 is a movie that left an imprint in my head. It confused me. I had seen the first movie and it made sense to me... but part two was a real oddity. The impression it left me with was of a nonsensical mess. There weren't any trolls in the movie (they're Goblins) and there was NO connection with the first movie at all. The acting was deplorable and the make up was hilarious. But as terrible as it was, I remember watching it many times and I don't really know why. Turns out I wasn't alone. The lead actor in the movie was a 12 year old kid named Michael Stephenson. Now almost 20 years later he has directed this wonderfully reminiscent documentary, Best Worst Movie, celebrating Troll 2 and capturing it's resurgence as a cult phenomenon. All of the original cast appear on camera to talk about the movie as well as it's narcissistic Italian director Claudio Fragasso who completely misunderstands the global ridicule and sincerely believes he made a masterpiece. LOL There's no denying there's a magic to Troll 2. If you've seen it then you probably enjoyed it because of how bad it is. Like a classic Ed Wood movie, it is snowballing into a classic in itself. Best Worst Movie is a nod to film geeks around the world. Those real fanboy types who revel in the abnormal and applaud the awfulness. I'm proud to be one of these people (remember my Troma sessions anyone?) and I want to everyone to see Best Worst Movie so that maybe they too can get in on this trashy movie love-fest... sadly I'll probably remain a loner when it comes to this shit. LOL. Best Worst Movie... WIN! if you've never seen Troll 2, do yourself a favour and YouTube "Troll 2 Oh My God". Priceless!
