Bío Paradís | 20:00 | 1,000 ISK
Bíó Paradís is offering a one night special screening of Troll
2, a classic of American cinema that rivals the great Citizen
Kane. Not. Troll 2 is a low-budget horror film about freaky
goblins ruining a family’s summer vacation. There are no
trolls in it. It was originally titled, Goblins, but the distributors
were worried that the movie was so shitty it wouldn’t sell
on its own, so they re-titled it Troll 2 and tried to pawn it off
as a sequel to an unrelated film called Troll. Capitalism is a
champ. We could use every page of the Grapevine to remi-
nisce and shoot-the-shit about Troll 2’s wonderful idiosyn-
crasies (cult film indeed), but since we can’t, the best thing
to do is type “Holly's infamous dance scene from Troll 2” into
YouTube then head to Bíó Paradís on July 18 to collectively
appreciate the best worst movie ever made. The powers of
evil are very strong here…I must leave! SS
They’re Going To Eat Me!
