Best Worst Movie (2009)

A documentary about Troll 2 (1990), a movie considered by many moviegoers as the worst piece of shit ever made. It's currently the very last entry on the IMDB bottom 100, so evidently there are worse turds around. I present Michael Bay and Ewe Boll to the jury.
It doesn't manage to explain the cult phenomenon that's grown up around the film, but it shows the fandom in a positive light and it gets the majority of the cast back together for a strained reunion.
There's an obvious shift from an 'all is good' to an 'all is bad' stance halfway through that a better filmmaker would've smoothed over.
If you shamelessly enjoyed Troll 2 then definitely check this out. I have just one major grievance: why no Deborah Reed? Seriously? She was the the best damn thing in the original film.
