5.0 out of 5 stars A Tremendously Bad Movie, but in a Good Way., October 18, 2000

This review is from: Troll [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I first saw this movie on a late night Noah Hathaway double feature about 13 yeares ago, when I lived in LA. The host described this movie as a star vehicle for the young star of Neverending Story (which was shown previously that night).

The story is mostly a rehash of the plots of many '50s sci-fi movies, except you insert "Troll" into the script where "Martian" should be. Even to the extent that Noah remarks to his kindly neighbor lady (June Lockhart) that he thinks his sister is a "pod person". Of course, she (Lockhart) being the powerful good sorceress, explains that Harry's sister is in the Troll's power.

Young Harry must save the world from the evil Troll, while the grown-up neighbors (Sonny Bono, Gary Sandy (WKRP), Julia-Louise Dreyfus (Seinfeld), Brad Hall (SNL), etc.) bumble their way into victimhood. Of course Harry's parents (Shelly Hack & Michael Moriarty) think he's just imagining things. What makes this movie fun is that it's so predictable and the all-star cast seems to intentionally ham it up. Think of it as "North" with monsters.

What I have found weirdly ironic is that Noah's character's name is Harry Potter, Jr. (Hmmmm, haven't we heard that name somewhere recently?)

Troll is one of producer Charles Band's better films. Written by Ed Naha ( Dolls, Honey I shrunk the Kids ) and stars Michael Moriarty in a likeable performance. Theres plenty of magical and entertaining moments. One is the part where the trolls sing. The Trolls and the Ghoulies should make a movie together because they look like they come from the same place, or planet. A ghoulie even makes a guest apperance. Richard Band's score is a lot better than the ones he did before and in 1986 this was his best to date. The Trolls were voiced by Frank Welker ( voice of Slimer from Ghostbusters, and voice of the gremlins ). Slimer's voice can even be heard in the backround in quite a few scenes. This is the best film of its kind, so go out and rent it, or buy it, tonight. It's very entertaining.
