event Best Worst Movie + Troll 2

The cast and crew of the infamously and delightfully terrible Troll 2 will be in attendance for this special double feature. First up: The recent documentary Best Worst Movie, directed by Michael Stephenson, a funny and ingratiating account of the making of Troll 2. Stephenson played a freckle-faced kid in the movie and made the film to reflect on the odd circumstances that brought it into existence. Best Worst Movie follows a wacky road show of cast and crew members as they travel from packed midnight screenings to horror and comic-book conventions, but it also deals with the problems inherent in so-bad-it’s-good entertainment. At midnight, Troll 2 itself will unspool in all its crazily misconceived glory. The story concerns a family trip to Nilbog, a town filled with man-eating monsters—except the monsters are goblins, not trolls, which is only the first indication that the filmmakers didn’t know what they were doing.
