Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. FilmFanatic — ★★★★★
   “Troll 2 is the worst movie I’ve ever seen and I’m still glad I watched it. The goblins, the decor, the acting — so bad it’s transcendent.”

2. TrashMovieLover — ★★★★
   “An absolute trainwreck of a film and yet I stuck with it till the end. It’s terrible, yes, but I couldn’t look away.”

3. CultCinemaAddict — ★★★★½
   “A comedy disguised as a horror flick, whether that was intended or not. The title lies, the logic is gone, and I loved every second.”

4. MidnightScreenings — ★★★
   “Watching it in a group with call-outs and jokes is the only way to do this. Solo it’s exhausting, but somehow charming in its ineptitude.”

5. GreenGoblinGamer — ★★★★★
   “Guests eat poison green food, people turn into plants, the town is Nilbog (goblin backwards) — this film is pure cinematic madness.”

Meta Description: A wildly disastrous but irresistibly campy horror-fantasy cult film, Troll 2 (1990) infamously features vegetarian goblins turning people into plants and has become a beloved “so-bad-it’s-good” milestone in cult cinema.
