The Troll Series - The Best of The Cinema Snob

[@Thegr8MC]

Glad to finally see these reviews without Russian subtitles.

[@stproducciones9140]

To be fair those subs added to that shitty 144p exploitation basement tape quality that classic cinema snob had. It looked like something you found in an old vhs in a post-soviet sewer.

[@Danko_Sekulic]

I don't know..it depends on a person and how much - especially bad - has happened in the past ten years. To me it feels like it was twice as much. Hell, this fucking year alone feels like it has lasted 10 years already, precisely because it was "eventful" in the worst possible way!

[@sean8102]

*sigh* sure dose man. But I get what the guy above my reply means too. Sort of feels like it slows way down (in some ways) after you're ~mid 20's (34 myself, God now I'm thinking how I'll be in my mid 30's end of June). Probably something to do with work, bills etc lol.

[@auxknife8958]

Shout outs to Grandpa Seth, the one actor who actually managed a decent performance despite being the most ridiculous character in the film. May he continue his magic asspulls wherever he is now.

[@manticorephoenix]

It certainly pays to be friends with the Operator of the Deus Ex Machina

[@wugglesx]

He was far better than the movie deserved and even made the kid less of a kenny.. that one line from the dad though about pissing on hospitality tho haha. I think the silliest part of the movie is how grandpa tries to talk to the parents first and they actively choose to ignore him!

[@mrmusickhimself]

He wasn't a bad actor, he had a Burl Ives quality about him. But the best actor in the movie is the shopkeeper. If only because he was tripping balls on acid, and just happened to wander on set from a mental hospital day pass trip.

[@memorra]

I loved Troll as a kid, watched it dozens of times, the creature song is so haunting and beautiful IMO and the story was wondrous. Never saw the "sequels" and didn't know they existed until I was an adult. Kinda wish I had seen Troll 2 as a kid, because it is so bad and hilarious, I probably would have loved it too but for different reasons. Even today I can watch Troll and truly enjoy the movie for what it is unironically as a good and entertaining movie.

[@jackcouch8322]

I’m so glad you can actually enjoy this movie (at least the first one), like genuinely I am.

[@geoffreysorkin5774]

I like the original Troll more than Gremlins. If it wasn't for the Italian knockoffs using its name, I think it would be viewed favorably and compared with the Gremlins series. The effects were great for their time (and most stand up reasonably well today), and it had charm and personality. The biggest fault of the movie was that at times the side characters were a little too quirky and overshadowed the plot.

[@rolandofgilead43]

i love Gremlins more but what hurts this film the most is that little girl who is clearly the worst actor of the whole bunch. all she does is way over act in this and sure the kid who plays young Harry Potter is not that great of an actor but to be fair his performance isn't painful to watch it's bearable at least

Honestly? I like the downer ending to Troll 2. If anything, more horror movies should have downer endings, that's...that's sorta the point of horror, is it not?

[@DarkOverlord96]

No? The point of horror is to scare you. And a lot of the times you want the heroes to overcome the horror, so ending things with a downer just feels like a copout.

[@WolfenRyujin]

@@DarkOverlord96 I feel like that entirely depends on the setting and story. Downer endings can work very, very well and add to what was there before. Just saying outright that ALL downer endings are bad is ...weird. And hey, this is just me but "hero" isn't something i'd use to describe every horror-protagonist because they don't need to be for a good horror story. Look at Junji Ito, there are few stories by him that have "heroes" in them. If anything, and if the point of horror is to "scare you", a good ending where everything turns out hunky dory can take away from that. But again: It depends on the story and setting. There are certainly movies, books, comics and games where i enjoy that everything turns out okay in the end. But it's not mandatory, and shouldn't be. That's not even limited to just horror.
