Troll (1986)
2/10
Boooooo....

This is one weird flick for sure. I'm not even sure if I'd call it a horror film, it's more like a sci-fi comedy with some scary-ish creatures.

"Troll" gets going with a horrible performance from Michael Moriarty and his family moving into a new apartment in a random building in an unknown city. His young daughter (who is played by an amazing child actress) is captured and taken over by a troll in the basement. She freaks out on everyone. The troll takes over the apartment building, subjecting many of it's residents to his tom foolery and hi-jinx. He grows gardens in some apartments and creates some strange little monsters. They seem to come out of nowhere and one of them is like a mini creature from the black lagoon.

To say this movie is strange would be an understatement. Not scary at all. I fell asleep for about twenty minutes in the middle of it and I wasn't tired.

Watch for an unusually awful Moriarty performance as he dances around his living room like a nerd to some horrible rendition of 'Summertime Blues.' Yikes, is this guy serious? "Leprechaun" was a hell of a lot more fun.
