The year 1630 was a long time ago, before iPhones, telephones, or any kind of electricity... But, as we're cinematically reminded more times than even the 1950's Hollywood Blacklist, there were certain unfairly judged human beings back then... young women in this particular case... who literally sparked the formidable rage of narrow-minded religious zealots. And ironically, this time around it's an extremely religious family, especially the patriarch preacher (a visual cross between Jesus and the boss from FLETCH), who are punished and thus, sent out of their gated village to exist within a dense, tree-laden forest, living off the land despite the kids either being too young or distracted; the mother a bit wacky; and dad with very little know-how on exterior survivalism as THE WITCH could very well belong in the Body Count Horror Genre since particular family members, and even animals, are picked-off throughout an arduous two-hours of (possibly intentional) ultra slow-paced dialogue that, while sticking firmly to the speech of that time, feels as if the doomed clan were performing Shakespeare while the audience could've used subtitles to clearly understand the dialogue, especially lines uttered/muttered by the two older, more important kids...<br>

Charles Band’s TROLL centers on a family moving into an apartment building that winds up being taken over by a bevy of creatures led by one particular Troll, wanting his old magical kingdom to reign once again. And the more famously infamous sequel is awful and beloved for that reason, making the original fairy tale homage an all but forgotten franchise footnote while inspiring a documentary titled BEST WORST MOVIE (that features yours truly as a script writing fan) centering on the immense ever-growing cinematic phenom known as TROLL 2, originally titled GOBLIN… indeed centering on Goblins, not Trolls… And the sequel supposedly had nothing to do with TROLL, a name thrown in at the 11th hour for distribution reasons, as if TROLL had an actual following… And yet, while revisiting the first movie, which actually isn’t that awful, there were many similarities for two projects that supposedly only had a title in common... So as you'll see the comparisons, the original TROLL is pictured on the left, while cult-phenom TROLL 2's on the right...<br />

Both movies have formidable looking manors yet only TROLL 2 uses their location throughout. The original manor is hidden by the apartment house that it would become, and ultimately attempt to change back into. And the T2 title sequence cuts literally to the chase, showing a horde of goblins running wild: One main difference in the credits are, of course, the names: the original has real actors the likes of Michael Moriarty, Shelley Hack, Sonny Bono, and others mentioned further in, while the super low-budget sequel is full of no-names, including a real life dentist; all were completely unknown and never heard of again until the documentary brought their unprofessional brilliance to light.</div>

But TROLL 2 would have nothing that basic… Instead, the Italian writer of the film might have thought families swapping houses from the suburbs to the sticks was a normal thing in America: Thus the Waits Family lets a local clan of NILBOG (Goblin Spelled Backwards) live at their home while they move into the rural homestead, and the adventure begins.</div>

Phil Fondacaro plays both Torok the Troll and the most endearing character, a kindhearted Little Person who, stricken with a fatal disease, befriends the cursed young daughter, who sees potential in his “shortcomings” as a doomed human to be a perfect fit for the progressing Troll-Land canvas… Meanwhile in TROLL 2, the main GOBLIN somewhat resembles Torok only more menacing, bloodthirsty, ultra low-budget and, speaking with the voice of a retarded ten-year old, doesn’t have an agenda other than making people turn green so he and his sinister crew can have an endless feast.</div>

Showing a bizarre film where a gorilla, existing in a prehistoric setting, yanks off his own head… sits on the head which becomes a rocket… blasting him into the sky while cartoon music plays… Although it must be noted that this particular movie within a movie, along with other scenes viewed later on by the doomed teens, is somewhat of a cheat – for it was used in a few other films by the same TROLL 2 producer, including HITCHER IN THE DARK, borrowing not only the 2001 inspired gorilla but the same RV.</div>

In the original this changeling occurs in order for the real world to become the land of mystical creatures… It has to do with the progression of the story, and the transformation occurs by the power of the lead Troll... While in the second film, instigated only when the victims are successfully coaxed into eating green food, the shift occurs so the people can turn into pudding for the goblins to feed on… Basically, one alters the plot while the other alters the appetite of the antagonists.</div>
