Ever seen the original Troll movie, inspiration for the infamous Troll 2? Surreal as fuck. Has an actual troll in it, for one thing. Also: an apartment building turned into a forest, Julia Louis-Dreyfuss frolicking half-nude in said forest, Sonny Bono turned into a tree, June Lockhard as a daffy witch, etc, etc.

And the kid is named Harry Potter.

 

IIRC, the director of Troll often makes the accusation that JK Rowling basically stole from him, despite the fact that Troll really bears no resemblance to the Harry Potter series, other than the name of the lead character.

Ok we all know about Troll 2 and how awful it is. However, little is mentioned of the first Troll movie. Unlike the squeal (which if you have ever seen the Troll 2 documentary you will know that it isn't really a sequel) Troll 1 had some real actors in it, a "script" and attempted to do decent special effects. I say this lightly because the movie is really bad. Where do I begin? The actors must have been full after each day of filming because they ate the scenery up! The little girl is over the top while the kid playing her brother is flat and lifeless. The premise is strange, confusing, and doesn't know if it wants to be fantasy or horror. The best scenes involve Sonny Bono and a very young Julia Louis-Dreyfus. There was an attempt on special effects, but most of the time you sit there thinking "what is that puppet supposed to be"? Check out this trailer

to get a glimpse of the this possible HDTGM contender.
