As a child in the early 90’s, I was primarily raised by HBO and I will forever be thankful of that rearing because it gave me the gift of Troll 2. Most critics would malign the film for it’s agonizing acting, ridiculous plot and nearly non-existent direction and they would be right. It takes a special film, however, to be so thoroughly bad yet endlessly watchable. Thanks to the likes of HBO, Troll 2 has gained a reputation as the ‘best’ worst movie. Michael Stephenson, who starred as Billy in the film, is all grown up and has created a documentary aptly titled Best Worst Movie about the making of this monstrous cult hit. Cinematical is reporting that distributor Area23A is prepping the documentary for a spring 2010 release. Even more exciting is the potential for pairing it with a theatrical release of Troll 2 as well. The unintentionally hilarious horror film has gained popularity on the midnight movie circuit (which is documented in the new film).
Which film do you think is the ‘best’ worst movie?
