Troll 2

Troll 2 is a 1990 B-horror comedy movie directed by Claudio Fragasso (under the pseudonym Drake Floyd) and starring Michael Stephenson, George Hardy, Margo Prey, Connie McFarland, Deborah Reed and Jason Wright. The plot concerns a family pursued by vegetarian goblins who seek to transform them into plants so that they can eat them.

Although produced under the title Goblins, United States distributors were skeptical about the film's chances to succeed as an indie film and renamed it Troll 2 in an attempt to market it as a sequel to the 1986 Empire Pictures film Troll. The two films, however, have no connection, and no trolls are actually depicted in Troll 2. The film's production was rife with difficulties, largely revolving around a language barrier between the Italian-speaking crew and English-speaking cast, and producer Joe D'Amato's approach to low-budget film making. The resulting film is generally considered to be of exceptionally poor quality.

Despite being released in relative obscurity, Troll 2 has since been rediscovered by the public and evaluated as one of the worst films ever made. It gained a cult following, leading to a critically acclaimed documentary produced by one of the actors (Stephenson), humorously titled Best Worst Movie. Released in 2010, the documentary chronicled the film's large fanbase.
