Die Zahnfee wird dich holen!

My girlfriend and I are on a horror movie kick. Trying to find that movie that makes us jump. And because this is a trilogy we have to watch the series. All I can say is. Why didn't they stop at 1? If you're looking for a movie you can yell at the tv at the actors for being fools then give it a whirl

If you're like me sometimes a review meant to push away makes me want to watch it more. They'll go on and on about what happens, why, who, blah blah blah.

Here's all my advice... Don't. Just don't watch it. You'll seriously wish you had listened to me! :)

Sometimes gambles pay off. Sometimes you get this. Presents itself like it wants to be a horror movie but it's heavily padded with family turmoil that isn't even remotely interesting. At a few points it seems like they're intentionally trying to make a "so bad it's good" movie. But Troll 2 this is not. Just steer clear of this one.

Stilted dialogue and lack of story or setup aside, the "father" looks like a 20 year old with some grey spray in his hair who is desperately trying to sound like a grizzled old man; his "daughter" gets a visit from her "daughter"... who looks 10 years older than her.

I mean.... we're not talking Oscar calibre anything here, but surely getting age appropriate actors isn't difficult...?

There's no passage of time other than what's indicated by the terrible exposition and strained dialogue, so it may as well be the next day on from the opening scene.

Ugh. Sorry, but whinging English characters don't do it for me. But if everything I've written is your cup of tea, then give this a watch. And you have my deepest sympathies!

Some of the highlights of this film inspired me to write a review. The finer highlights:

-The "grandma" being younger than the daughter

-The "grandpa"'s silly wig

-The inventive use of dental implements such as toothbrush and floss as death instruments

-The silly ghost mask used for the bad guy

Overall, a solid 5 as far as bad horror movies go. I am always interested in seeing a new spin on an old classic theme and this one failed miserably! It did make me laugh out loud, though, and inspired me to write this review. Give it a try, if for anything other than the laughs!
