21:50 – Film; Troll 2

Troll 2 is a 1990 comedy horror film directed by Claudio Fragasso[1] (under the pseudonym Drake Floyd) and starring Michael Stephenson, George Hardy, Margo Prey, Connie McFarland, Deborah Reed, and Jason Wright. Although produced under the title Goblins,[2] the American distributors marketed it as a sequel to the 1986 horror film Troll;[3] however, the two films have no connection, and this movie features no trolls. The plot concerns a family pursued by vegetarian goblins who seek to mutate them into plants so that they can eat them.

Production was rife with difficulties, largely due to the language barrier between the Italian-speaking crew and English-speaking cast, and producer Joe D’Amato’s approach to low-budget film making. The resulting film is considered by some as one of the worst movies ever made. In subsequent years, the film gained a cult following and garnered a large fanbase. Though generally viewed as a poorly made horror, the filmmakers stated that it was “always intended to be a comic film”.
