Troll 2
A decent sequel, continuing the tale with a next gen troll researcher and having some decent throwbacks to the original like the same bystander randomly getting his house kicked it. There’s a troll attack at the ski lodge rave that’s funny and a deepening of the troll lore, sprinkled with Christian v pagan elements. Still not much more than a Norwegian kaiju flick but there’s originality in the appropriation. This reminded me slightly of Honda’s The War of the Gargantuans with a good kaiju & an evil one. It takes a tomb raider turn for a moment, which was a bit distracting but provided the solve without detracting from the momentum overall.
Only D00M recommended if you saw the first one and enjoyed it. This sequel is more of the same, in a good way.
Seen on Netflix.
