Honestly, when I first heard the title 'Troll 2', the first thing that came to mind was that infamous 'worst movie' from 1990. Ah, those who know this film probably felt similar to me. They might have thought, "Are they really releasing another Troll movie that doesn't even feature trolls?" But don't worry! In 2025, 'Troll Invasion 2' will show us the evolution of a true Nordic monster movie, completely different from that notorious film. From my experience, people often miss out on surprisingly good movies because of such misunderstandings.
From now on, we'll briefly review why 'Troll 2' (1990) was called 'the worst', then look at the success of the 2022 Netflix film 'Troll', which is in a different league, and finally, delve into what 'Troll Invasion 2', which has garnered much anticipation for 2025, will look like. Through this information, you'll be able to build up as much excitement for the movie as I have!
🤢 'Worst Movie' Troll 2 (1990): The Beginning of its Infamy
Are you familiar with the 1990 Italian-American co-production 'Troll 2'? This film features goblins, not trolls, suffers from severe acting issues, clumsy special effects, and an illogical story, earning it the title of 'Worst Movie in the World'. It's safe to say it achieved almost cult status. In fact, anyone who's seen this movie can't help but wonder, "Did they really spend money to make this?" I remember looking it up out of curiosity once and couldn't stop laughing.
This film later gained such peculiar popularity that a documentary called 'Best Worst Movie' was made about it. Listening to the behind-the-scenes stories of its production and the actors' recollections, you realize that this film transcended being a mere flop to become a cultural phenomenon. In a way, it's an interesting case where even a failure can generate stories.
🏔️ 2025, The Real 'Troll' Arrives: The Spectacle of 'Troll Invasion 2'!
Alright, let's clear up the misunderstanding and start with the real story, shall we? 'Troll Invasion 2', coming to us in 2025, is the sequel to the highly successful Norwegian film 'Troll' (2022) on Netflix. The 2022 film 'Troll' was a disaster movie about a giant troll from Norse mythology appearing in modern Norway, capturing audiences worldwide with its outstanding visuals and overwhelming scale. I vividly remember watching it and exclaiming, "Wow, this is a real troll movie!"
Immediately after its release on Netflix, the film topped the non-English film charts, demonstrating the power of Norwegian cinema. In particular, the reimagining of trolls from Norwegian legends with a modern sensibility, rather than the monster designs commonly seen in Hollywood films, was very impressive. It was like a colossal being that had been dormant in ancient history suddenly awakening.
'Troll Invasion 2': What's Different and What to Expect?
Building on the success of its predecessor, 'Troll Invasion 2' in 2025 promises an even grander scale and deeper story. Personally, the most anticipated aspect is the evolution of the monsters. While the troll in the previous film was impressive enough, the sequel is expected to feature more diverse and threatening forms of trolls. I have a feeling that this time, the trolls' ecosystem or deeper mythological background will be revealed, and my curiosity is already bursting.
Director Roar Uthaug, who showed delicate direction and visual implementation skills in the previous film, is expected to perfectly blend Norway's magnificent natural landscapes with the overwhelming presence of trolls in this sequel. In fact, for films of this scale, while technology is important, the depth of the story is key. I hope it delivers a message beyond just smashing things.
Preview of Specific Evolution Points
While the previous film 'Troll' (2022) focused on summoning the presence of trolls from Norse mythology into the modern era, 'Troll Invasion 2' is expected to explore an expanded worldview and the origins of trolls. I've summarized the anticipated key evolution points in a table.
| Category | 'Troll' (2022) | 'Troll Invasion 2' (2025 Expectation) |
