Troll 2 is bad. Very, very bad. The script is stupid, the acting is wooden, the special effects are laughable, the vintage-80s synthesizer score is cheesy.

Taking off in its own entirely misguided direction, it tells the story of an average (not to mention lousy-acting) American family that vacations in a town infested with Marty Allen clones who cause folks to sweat green chlorophyll and turn into trees.

It's rare to find a film with such an ignominious reputation actually living up to the hype.

I've seen worse, but nevertheless, this is wretched, bottom-of-the-barrel stuff.
