Film reviews: The Best Worst Movie


The Documentry "The Best Worst Movie" is based on the laughably bad 1990 film Troll 2. It follows the star of the film Michael Stephenson stepping behind the camera to talk about the low rated, low budget, dodgy horror movie itself. This Documentary proves that a perceived bad movie doesn't necessarily mean it wont find an audience. The original film was created by a group of cinematically uneducated Actors who joined forces with an Italian-speaking production crew to start filming the sequel to the 1986 film "Troll".

It is interesting how onwards into the future the film "Troll" has been taken under a different perspective. You will come to find that the general film related society will now look at it as a historical treasure, reflecting the perfect way to do something conventionally bad. From the awful acting, to the terribly unresolved script making the most random confusions and almost seemingly self conscious, humiliating camera work, this is exactly how a film should be put together to form a mesh of negative criticism.

This is an amusing, light hearted look into the work of something that was once rated so low that someone has become proud of it for that very reason. The soul of this film is in the right place at the right time, ready to accept Troll 2 for what it really is. In a sense it has become a comedy based on the art of film making itself. Interestingly, this movie got quite a high rating compared to the extremely low rating of the film it indulges itself within.

Rating out of 1 to 10? For amusment... 10... Oh.... my... God!!!
