About Best Worst Movie
Best Worst Movie, a feature length documentary, takes us on an off-beat journey into what some would argue is the worst movie in cinematic history – Troll 2. When a crew of Italian filmmakers and fledging Utah actors shot this ultra-low budget horror film in Utah they had no idea that almost twenty years later they would be celebrated by fans worldwide for their ineptitude. The documentary is scheduled for release Winter 2008. For more information visit www.bestworstmovie.com.
