Trolls, Goblins, Fairies, Magic, Monsters, Elves... and a kid called Harry Potter has to save the day. Fuck you J.K Rowling, you plagiarist hack!

this was one of those movies growing up that you heard about but never got to watch it and as you got older you kinda had that stigma that maybe the reason why you never saw it was because it was truly that creepy, well unfortunately it didnt live up to that. granted im older and ive seen some shit happen in horror movies that i thought id never see before so Troll didnt really hold up to it
i really did try to see the splender that is Troll but really couldnt. i was actually really impressed with the little girls acting in it though. replicating how the troll would act.

The story centers around Harry Potter who has to learn magic to defeat an evil being... wait a minute. This sounds familiar...
In all seriousness this was a fun movie. Not nearly as fun as the sequel but there are some comedic moments in this. The acting is okay. the story is alright for this kind of movie.

It's awful in the best way. Best viewed as part of a double-header with Troll 2, which takes the badness to an even higher level of entertainment.

This dark fantasy wasn't really liked by the critics when it was first released, but has gained a cult following. And it is a better film than many people give it credit for.

In the building's laundry room, a troll appears and kidnaps Harry's sister Wendy and then takes her place. Harry is alarmed by Wendy's new love of roaring, biting, and punching people in the nuts. When he meets another…

I love this atrocious pile of shit! It's the original "Harry Potter"! :) The scene of the puppet troll singing is a riot.

What is the depth of a black hole? What is the circumference of the universe? What is the quality of this film compared with Troll 2? An order of infinity better.

I have to admit this is a guilty pleasure of mine,at times it borders on ridiculous,but that's pretty much the charm of it all.The acting is hammy and the story has really weird moments,but I enjoyed it for what it was .A ridiculous horror/fantasy hybrid.The score is awesome though.

Straddles the line between being an okay low-budget fantasy/horror film aimed at children and a "so-bad-it's-good" flick with a cast stuffed full of people who are surely embarrassed that they acted in it.
