Trollkins

A group of college students on a camping trip discover that they have stumbled into the territory of a family of trolls. These trolls are not the gentle, nature-loving creatures of folklore, but rather grotesque and malevolent beings who prey on unsuspecting humans. The students must fight for their lives to escape the woods and the monstrous trolls that hunt them.

Trollkins is widely regarded as a low-budget, campy horror film from the early 1980s. It gained a cult following due to its unpretentious nature and B-movie charm, rather than critical acclaim. The film is often cited as an example of the era's exploitation horror.

• Praised for its unintentional humor and over-the-top gore.

• Criticized for its poor acting and weak plot.

• A quintessential example of a 'so bad it's good' cult classic.

Google audience: Audience reviews often highlight the film's campy appeal and its status as a cult favorite, with many finding enjoyment in its B-movie aesthetic and creature effects, despite acknowledging its technical flaws.

The film's special effects, particularly the troll costumes and makeup, were created on a very limited budget, contributing to their distinctive and often amateurish appearance.
