Mean spirited, amateurish and unfunny it amazes me this even exists. Who is this aimed at? Who finds this funny? Then again what kind of imbecile trolls at all? Trolling isn't cool kids, and neither is this movie.

"001 Trolling" tells the story of a young internet troll who gets initiated into a respective gang. While he is trying to set up a rap career, he has to fight with lack of loyalty, greed and the question what kind of a person he wants to be.
The movie is very confusing and not always in a positive way. There's rather a general concept than a real story-line, which makes it sometimes hard to decide what the producers want to tell with certain scenes. You can easily see that there is some thought behind the film and parts can be seen as a comment on modern society, however the switch between serious elements and satire didn't work for me this time. There were some surprising twists that I enjoyed, however they can't make up for all of the weirdness and chaos that sets the tone for the plot.
All in all I see some really strong approaches here but unfortunately the producers didn't manage to make a coherent movie out of them. This way it remains kind of a pandora's box where something good will pop up between a large amount of bullshit.

I've got more entertainment value off the bottom of my shoe. Twenty minutes of this gave me a splitting headache.
Should have titled this "D**chbags showing their ignorance".
If I could, I would have given it a negative number rating. Don't waste your time!!!
Modern satire

Living in the time of scams and internet trolling, this movie presents us with the trolls that are present online every day. They are present in our lives although we cannot see them. Watching this movie will make you relate to all the things in the nature of the anonymity on the internet. Although this is a low budget movie, which you will realize in the first minute, it is really worth spending the time to watch it. It describes the relation between the teacher and the student, connected with interesting twists of the plot. You definitely need to be a little weird to watch it, but it pays off. The plot is original: it starts with presenting the two best friends – Odyn and Trey, desperately willing to become rapper musicians, but meanwhile working the job as security guards. Loving the music, Odyn tries to work on his own but he is being unsuccessful. He loves the music more than he loves his real girlfriend, so that relationship starts to break off, as he becomes obsessed with the Internet and stalking her online. While being on the net, a man called Nullman befriends him in order to teach him the real skills of proper trolling and make him work for him. Odyn becomes the student, and Nullman the teacher. As the plot goes on, Odyn becomes popular and uses his skills against Nullman's decisions. Nullman's frustrations go into action
. Check this movie out and see for yourself what is happening online.
It's not a good movie and leaves you in bad taste.

You will definitely be left questioning your movie selection after watching this movie.
This weekend, I decided to entertain myself by watching a movie. I checked for some recently released movies and found out this movie has good IMDb rating. So I thought to give it a try. However after watching it, I am really wondering how did this movie get good IMDb rating.
Really poor acting, unnecessary bragging about almost everything, a pretty boring script, totally irrelevant dialogues and the list goes on... The actors seems to be non-professional. They are not willing to put any efforts in their acting. Scenes keep on switching from one to another place without any significance in the movie. Come on... where is the storyline...
Really had a bad experience and wasted my 75 minutes over weekend. :(

Unique and entertaining indie comedy
CharlesMichaelWilliams12 April 2017
001 Trolling is a unique and entertaining indie comedy. It explores the subject of online trolls in a way that you wouldn't expect. This is a refreshing quality.
Independent comedies can be hit or miss, 001 Trolling is a hit particularly due to its use of style and the interesting approach to the subject of online trolling.
Another bonus, it is free to watch if you have an Amazon Prime account, so if you're looking for something fun to watch, I'd highly suggest this film.

Far from trivial, pure fun to watch!

Odyn and Trey are bosom buddies who are not really different from other guys, doing their quite dull work as security guards and dreaming of hitting the rap music scene sometimes, until one day Odyn, who was pretty obsessed with surfing the Internet, has met the leader of the Grid Gang, Richard Nullman, professional troll, and became his apprentice. Very soon though, the student surpassed his teacher. The plot of the movie is really absorbing, full of unexpected turns, with a touch of dark humor. The actors portray their characters perfectly, in the atmosphere of an urban environment against the background of a vivid rap soundtrack. The key roles are developed in a very special, unique way, featuring collisions of the social media world with reality. The structure of the movie is quite unusual: filled to the brim with gags, so-bad-its-good jokes and just all-around hilarious moments while leaving enough space for a crazy plot. The film nevertheless comes out as an indivisible whole, captivating viewers by the urge to discover upcoming events. It is definitely far from trivial, very fresh and pure fun to watch.
Not what I expected but pretty interesting
koolmoedee-6266515 October 2017
This movie is a bit of bait and switch, it's more of a send up of millennial culture than a full dedicated story about trolling, but pretty interesting nonetheless. I'm used to watching lower budget movies and you have to take the good with the bad. I think the director should take these characters and style of film making to youtube, as his random style would work well as shorter videos.

man, this thing is f****** arTIStic! loved the death scene, it reminds me of monty python, irreverent parody of life and virtual life, which is which? you might say it needs more budget, etc. but perhaps this would only cheapen the experience? it opens your eyes to the true reality of the internet, chat rooms, texting, etc. it is all a sham, devouring itself till death takes it.
What a crazy experience
leberle-9225028 April 2017
001 Trolling is a weird and crazy movie by Gregg Golding. It combined social and media with the social media plus visceral humour that doesn't shy away from cringe-inducing jokes.It just gives people the thought-provoking impulse, but this on such an unexpected and funny way, the whole story is fulfilled with so many plot twists, you'll never know what happens next. It is definitely a thought provoking, hallucinatory experience, you shouldn't miss out on, if you like weird and crazy stories like this.
Weird transgressive low budget movie
fukkk-6113531 July 2017
Has a glitch, off kilter feel and perverse, dirty quality that keeps you interested. I was interested in the subject of trolling and this movie seems to portray the pathology of different types of trolls very accurately, albeit rather non political. This film comes at a good time, and is worth recommending if you don't mind the aesthetics of microbudget cinema
Don't listen to the Anti Trolling spammers
keklyfe31 July 2017
I noticed around July 20th a lot synchronized "seemingly apolitical" hate mobs started rallying around this movie, after it was receiving a general wave of positive attention for 2 months. I traced many of the reviews back to a facebook post by a disgruntled associate of the film production team, who has been badmouthing Collage Fossil Films for the past 3 weeks with stalker-like obsession. I have no association with anyone in the production, but my curiosity got the best of me. So amidst all the attempts at thought control and sabotage, will you definitely like this movie? It all depends. It's kind of an offbeat atonal satirical humor that only some people can get, and it has an intentionally noisy, scattered narrative. But it's really unique and inspired in it's craziness if that's your sort of thing....then light your bong or rev your asthma inhaler. From his social media the filmmaker seems to be more right wing, or at least libertarian (He previously supported Bernie but now fights back against fake news anti trump narratives pretty regularly and has since mocked Bernie at definitely seems to have voted Trump and listens to Alex Jones) but the film is political only in it's overarching critique of social justice and doxxing culture. The protagonist has SJW elements but seemingly just uses it to win arguments. Maybe that's why the California filmmaker supported Bernie? To fit in...now he's starting to get redpilled? I wish his transition was complete so the film would have come harder in it's attack on the regressive left, but this is a good start. I hope he figures out a decent sequel soon. 002 Trolling? It could be good.
This is my JAM

This sh8t was gangsta brah! Mad visuals and that shorty with the red hair is banging. Too bad they didn't have more Keithcharles Spacebar muzik in it. That n8gga go hard in the paint! All in all this movie was tight wild. I was sipping on a orange Julius while my b1tch gave topp (A white BBW that I met at Walmart the previous Tuesday) and I laughed so hard, and she laughed so hard as we watched it, my load shot through her nostrils dogg. Like it was cafeteria milk. ROLF! This movie is Gangsta! Did I say that already????
Very relevant to today's plugged in society.
mdr139350317 December 2017
Cool edgey tech noir. Not a lot of indie scifi out there and, especially, not a lot of indie scifi worth watching! This one will keep you guessing the whole way through. If you need a break from the glitzy studio scifi that lack any substantive story and edge, then check out the mind blowing gem. Very relevant to today's plugged in society.
Great idea!
soycine13 April 2017
I love indies and I recommend this one. Society now a days is not only being constantly watched, but trolled by this negative group of evil people to whom, their only purpose in life is to create nothing and hurt good creative-take a chance-souls. I recommend this very well done Indie film! Such a nice movie to watch, such a nice concept to make a movie. I enjoyed watching 001 Trolling!
Wonderfully subsersive surrealistic satire
fuckit-658679 September 2017
This off kilter and hallucinogenic title had me laughing and also fascinated by the bizarre commentary permeating through the whole affair. I loved the film and feel it had a lot going for it. I hope they continue something along these lines as I wanted to see what would become of the characters.
