Troll

About This Movie

Troll (1986) really captures that bizarre 80s fantasy-horror vibe, don’t you think? It’s all about this family moving into a San Francisco apartment, and then you've got this troll, Torok, who’s looking to turn little Wendy into part of his creepy troll army. The practical effects are pretty fascinating, especially for the time, with some wild creature designs. The pacing has its up and downs, but the atmosphere is thick with that strange mix of whimsy and horror. The performances are a bit uneven, but that adds to the charm, I guess. There’s something uniquely off about it all that keeps you engaged, even if it’s not a flawless ride.

Features practical effects typical of the era.Interesting mix of whimsy and horror elements.Distinctive creature designs and offbeat performances.
