Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

Start	This article has been rated as Start-Class on the assessment scale.

This article needs an image (preferably free) related to the subject, such as a picture of the set or a film poster. A possibility for American films from before 1964 would be a screenshot from the trailer, as these are now in the public domain. Please make sure fair use is properly observed, or the image will be removed. See WP:Films MOS for image guidelines and assistance in uploading.

Please add more information about the cast and the crew, discussing the "behind the scenes" aspects of the production process, and giving insights into the casting and staffing where possible. See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines for more advice.

I fixed this up a bit and added a little more information. I left the neutrality tag up...someone else besides me can determine that much.

Seriously, that's it? One sentence? This is a ridiculously short article, and is quite cleary not a neutral point of view. user:Rebochan

• A stub. I added some. Ummm... why are the director and the top three actors red links? RJFJR 00:49, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Neutrality?

I tagged this page with a Neutrality dispute. Should we really consider the statement, "people who like trashy movies" neutral?

Tagging Troll 2 with a neutrality dispute because someone suggested it was a "trashy movie" shows that Wikipedia is run by a bunch of complete nincompoops.

The above is a non sequitor, or something spelled very much like it. How can there be no page for the original 'Troll'? That film was great!

Well, it seems that the NPOV dispute has been cleared up so I have removed the tag. - AdelaMae ^{(talk - contribs)} 11:42, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Trashy might be a bit harsh, but this movie is generally seen as one of the worst, if not the worst movie ever made. There are a lot of people (myself included) who actively seek out truly bad movies. Some movies are so bad they are good, this is so horrible it is wonderful. I loved the part where the father says "At this time of night, they are probably all asleep". What makes it funny is that you can see that it is obviously about noon. These must be the laziest farmers in the world.--RLent 18:43, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

The fact that it is voted by many, many people as the worst movie ever made (usually is number one on IMDB although lately is has dropped... although it is usually on the BOTTOM 20) means that there are a lot of people who "enjoy" this movie a lot, and there is a huge fan base, so it's no surprise that there is a lot of things written about this movie, "trashy" or otherwise. Also, there is a page for the original Troll. Seandusk 9:37, 14 September 2007

[edit] Vandal

Just took out the line "exploitation actress" and replaced it with "erotic actress". This is why I think wikipedia will never be a reliable source and is much a waste of time, and this is why I spend so much time finding these little things to fix. If you see it again, please revert it. JayKeaton 05:35, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removed Line

I just removed this line: "and is rated on the list not to have been featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000" because it did not make any sense. Feel free to make it more coherent and add it back in. --Thisisbossi 01:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Goblin as title

When videos go up for the Boston screening I can hopefully source this. I was there this weekend and the cast members told us both that the movie was supposed to be called Goblin and that some international VHS releases had that name. Michael said he owned the VHS with that name during the Q&A, and Darren told us later that it was the name for the script as well. Onikage725 20:53, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
