Same other than the house moving part!! It's funny how you perceive things at different stages in your life because watching this movie now as an adult it's really silly and stupid.
Oddly enough, the infamous "sequel" had absolutely nothing to do with this film. The distributors merely wanted to capitalise on the popularity of _Troll_. Quite bizarre really, when you consider that Troll wasn't really that big.
If u were a 7 year old like I was when this came out…..believe me it was scary. There’s a trance like eeriness to this movie. The chanting in the background ect. It was scary in a way that stuck with u . While I no longer find the movie scary I’ll be honest that chorus and a few of the scenes do bring back some of those childhood memories. Another one that’s an all time kid nightmare was the Jabberwok in Alice and wonderland through the looking glass . Again it has such an eerie set up with her seeing her family through the mirror on other side and then suddenly the Jabberwok comes
Sadly I can trump just being young. My "family" were Narcissistic abusers and used this film and many others as a means to gaslight a nine year old child and let me know they planned to hurt me as much as possible. Which they did... They were the real monsters.... They got what monsters deserve...
man that alice in wonderland movie was so great but it had more than one scene that creeped me the f out as a kid. especially the salt and pepper ladies going insane, throwing stuff around, alice stealing their baby thinking she's helping and then it turns into a piglet n runs away O_O and definitely the jabberwocky scenes, especially at the end when everything is happy good times, then jabberwocky shows up and owns everyone O_O terrifying
@@jaggedj2510 But prior to writing the books, J.K. Rowling claims she never heard of this movie. I believe this movie and her books were too similar to be a coincidence.
joker102877 No doubt. People deny it but not only is the name the same but is a about a boy, its about a world of magick, its about book. Too many coincidences. I woulnt care if Rowling named someone harry potter but was about a different genre but no, its too many similar things. She just took a low budget film that got lost in time, that people forgot, took the name and ideas of it (world of magick), and improved it or made it her own world (story). Rowling and Warner bros deny it, even threaten the original creator but you ain't fooling me, I aint stupid.
I heard they're planning a remake of 'Troll' with a much larger budget. The original creator did plan to sue JK Rowling for plagiarism, however, due to a family bereavement he decided against legal action.
Jerry Mcrincleberry I'm very well aware that this movie came out loooong before Harry Potter, it's kinda obvious.... I was referring to the fact that the same line was used in the 3rd Harry Potter movie, along with many other references that are taken from this movie and used in Harry Potter. For instance... The lead character in this movie Troll the lead kid's name is, Harry Potter .
nearest connection of Troll + Troll 2 crew-wise is that Massimo Lentini was a cinematographer on Troll 2 and worked with Sergio Salvati on many Fulci films, and Sergio was a cinematographer of the movie Crawl Space which was filmed in the exact sets of Troll 1 a couple months after Troll was finished. So there ya go.
she also pulled from The Worst Witch, The Legend of Rah and the MUGGLES + Larry Potter (both the same author) and Willy the Wizard and on and on. Also, 'she' didnt write it. A group of ghostwriters did. The clue to this SECRET was given to us in the Chamber of Secrets. Gilderoy Lockhart. The famous author who everyone loved and swooned over, turned out to be.... a fake. Also, check out The Simpson's episode The Book Job. Shows the truth but its "just a cartoon" so people look right past it.
I saw this movie when I was about 12 and I always distinctly remember the name Harry Potter Jr and when Harry Potter movies came out I always came back to this movie "troll" I've always wondered how JK Rowling stoll the ideas from this movie to create the books and no one's called her out on it
This movie was a box office success production was 1.1 mill opening weekend made 2.5 mill !!! LONG LIVE THE TROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BURHRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Harry Potters house. Name. And even the same clothes. And witches & magic. Google image to see a meme comparing the 2 outfits. Identical. Big long plaid shirt over dark t-shirt, w/jeans. Even the narrator says 'Harry's about to go into another world, he just needs some magic'
Vidi questo film da piccola e rimandi incollata alla tv , quanto mi era piaciuto questo film . Un film a basso costo di serie B registrato negli studi cinematografici di Roma ( se non sbaglio sulla Tiburtina) . Ma ovviamente questo genere di film può apprezzarlo solo chi come me ama gli anni 80 .
this movie is what got me into fantasy well Disney also but this here is what got me into drawing fairies goblins dryads trolls etc but I love this one I watch it every Halloween ever since I saw it on TV one year when I was 7.
I was about that age but don’t remember being afraid, though there are some scary bits for kids. But we also rented the garbage pale kids which ins some ways is scarier🤢
The trolls in the Harry Potter universe are humongous. Theses could be dwarves that think they are trolls because they were place there by a changeling. And this family could just be distant muggle cousin's of Harry's father.
For what I understood is that there are trolls of different sizes. If you see at the end, there is one that is huge (if I remember correctly that that one is also supposed to be a troll).
Evidence points to the fact that she didnt even write it. A group of ghostwriters did, much like Lucasfilms has a Story Group creating Star Wars content.
I remember watching this as a kid and I loved it. I was a really weird kid. I'm 25 now... not as good as remember. If you're an adult and you're just now finding out about this movie, don't bother. It's too late for you. Unless you like stupid movies, in which case I highly recommend Troll 2. Now there's a really bad movie.
youre 30 now just as i am and youre right as a kid this was terrifying haha i used to wait until all the adults were outside and id grab this movie and sneak watching it and id only watch the first 20 mins and then id put it away haha it was to funny the lengths i went to watch this
CyanBlue I’ve only now heard about this film as it came out 3 years before I was born. But everything you’re saying checks out. And she for sure stole so many concepts (including the names) and used it herself. Adapting something is one thing ...but taking the protagonists name etc is a bit much.
I don’t know why people in the comment section are getting so bent out of shape thinking the creator of Harry Potter ripped off the movie trolls. Yes, she may have used the name, Harry Potter for inspiration, but if you’ve ever seen trolls and any of the harry Potter movies They are nothing alike. She did use a lot of her own ideas granted she may have used some of this movie for inspiration, but who doesn’t do this in Hollywood today.
I just finished watching this movie again since i haven't seen it since i was a child and when i was a child this movie gave me nightmares the troll's are so ugly scary especially when your a kid.
This movie terrified me as a child ! I remember moving to a new house and I wouldn’t go into the basement thinking there was a troll down there
😅😅
Same , always checked under stairs
There was, it was me
Same other than the house moving part!!

Agreed, it was the atmosphere that truly set it apart from slasher and creature films of the 80s.
I was around 7 when I first rented this too. It definitely messed with my head. 😂
Omg same I love this movie in Alice in wonderland but they freak me out also lol n lm 40 now lol❤😂😂
Did you guys hear that? They said the kid's name was Harry Potter, Jr. Clearly, the Harry Potter novels are meant to be a prequel of some kind.
i guess but she should’ve said it

It's even funnier when two of the actresses had the last name Lockhart.

They were mother and daughter in real life. Both playing the same role.
I saw this in theater in 1985... Gary Sandy sure was handsome.

No the book was copyright infrigment.
these old trailers really take me back to when i was a kid

Yep.
Looks like it
I'm currently watching this movie and I came to RUclips just to see the Harry Potter comments...perfection and he also reviews books lol 😆

so this was before harry went to hogwarts?
This was before harry potter existed from jk nazi
I love how the dude from The Stuff dances to Blue Cheer’s epic “summertime blues” cover.. Atreyu even told him to get rid of his rekidds..
Harry potter jr WTF
I realized something: the actors Noah Hathaway (Harry Potter Jr.) and Anne Lockhart (Young Eunice Stm Clair) were both in BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.
Love those 80s video effects...
