Troll

This film is not one that is remembered, yet it's much worse sequel is. Here's why. This movie has good special effects for it's time and has OK acting, but just one of the most bizarre story lines. The plot is that a family moves in to an apartment building, where the family's young daughter is stolen, and a troll takes her form. The troll goes around the building killing people and turning them in to troll pods. The reason that this one is not remembered like it's horrible sequel, is this movie is rather weird and boring, but had production values, where the sequel has no production values and horrible acting and writing. The best thing about the film is it's excellent musical score from the every wonderful Richard Band. However, I didn't like this movie very well at all, but it does have some redeeming qualities in the acting and direction...not so much the writing. My rating: * 1/2 out of ****. 82 mins.

I absolutely love this film, a true cult-classic, such fantasy and imagination and creativity, anyone who hates this film just hates horror films...It's also darkly humorous and sickly sweet. The only Trolls are the people who hate this film, seriously! Rat Burgers!! Heh, I love that line in this film. It is very original, I wish people had paid more attention to it, though; I can't believe that a character (two, actually) are named Harry Potter! Honestly, you gotta love that! Plus you can see the stars from The Neverending Story, Seinfeld and Charlies Angles (The TV show) shine in this film! Great low-budget effects! It's pretty funny too, something I didn't really expect from a film with such good qualities to have.

It seems that hardly anyone likes this movie! When I first seen it in 1987 I really liked it. I already knew before I saw it that it was a fantasy & was prepared. It is not a scary/horror flick. I actually got more laughs than scares! I have always liked fantasy movies and this one did not let me down at all; I bought the video! I am sure that most persons that rated this movie bad dislike all fantasy movies, so why did they watch it in the first place? I would give it 3 out of four stars.

This movie is good.;) Yeah... - different , interesting Sarcastic , dark comedy...And... I like how the little girl always has this really evil smirk on her face.But she faked me out a bit when she was eating....(huh, ew) The parts with Sonny Bono - those are so silly. All the little earth wandering trolls keep coming out of the woodwork... And they look hilariously silly putty - ish. Freaky , funny stuff. Oh - '86...

They play TROLL on TV every once and awhile and like a train wreck, its hard to look away. Its so bad its almost good. Almost. But not quite. What can you really say about an '80s film that boasts both Sonny Bono and Julia "Elaine from Seinfeld" Louis Dreyfuss??? The casting here is so strange that it reels the mind. Noah "NeverEnding Story" Hathaway?? Shelly Hack?? In short, a boy finds a mysterious land o' TROLLs in the basement of his new apartment building. The TROLLS are cheesy to be sure and the whole thing is silly,I guess. But there is something endearing about watching a little boy rescue his cute little sister who suddenly growls and bites people, something weird about watching June Lockhart play with her pet singing mushroom right before she morphs into a total blonde, buxom she-babe. I even love the friendly little dwarf man! TROLL is cheesy but in an inoffensive fun way, unlike it's sequel TROLL 2 which is a terrible cult classic that is painful to watch.

Troll is a bad and stupid horror comedy about the Potters. Harry Potter is the main character of the movie and i think he's actually pretty good character. The trolls are actual trolls unlike troll 2 that doesn't have trolls, but goblins. The acting isn't anything special the characters are decent. It's pretty boring and slow. The trolls look much better than the goblins in troll 2. Overall a pretty bad movie i actually prefer troll 2. I recommend it, but don't watch it alone.
