I'm guessing the cast, crew, producers and their friends made up a big chunk of the 133 voters on this documentary. Troll 2 is a pretty funny 'so bad it's good movie', but a documentary about it seems a bit excessive. A friend who is aTroll 2 fan wanted me to join them in watching a screening. I figured 'Troll 2 had some laughs, so this cant be too bad.' Sadly, I barely made it through this tedious documentary, which was poorly edited with terrible pacing. There were only a couple slightly amusing bits, and no laugh out loud moments to be found. In all honesty I cannot recommend this documentary to anyone. At the best it could get a 2 or 3, but since it's so overrated I am giving it a 1. Only huge fans of the movie 'Troll 2' should consider watching this- the kind of people who have seen it 5+ times and still enjoy it. Also, please keep in mind that most people voting/posting on this movie page are people associated with 'Best Worst Movie'. Do not let their 'spin' affect your judgement, a movie should stand on its own merit, without being falsely hyped.

I was tempted to give it a 6,but since its getting such high reviews went with a lower rating. After watching, I do feel its overrated,both here and at netflix,the documentary got high ratings and raves,but was not *that good. The documentary kind of drags along,its not real exciting. With time it builds up some momentum,but its mainly centered around the murder trial.The brothers while eccentric,sheltered and reclusive are not total freaks/weirdos,what I mean is you aren't going to see anything really crazy or shocking ,IMO. It could be kind of depressing for some viewers,seeing how the brothers live. The brothers are also hard to understand with their deep rural hick accent. The other neighbors are understandable,though. What I liked about it,was how it gave us glimpse into these reclusive eccentrics lives,and without degrading/mocking the subjects. There is some humor,but its tasteful. I liked the interviews with the townspeople,and found them to be admirable,decent people. I wouldn't mind having them as neighbors. It was nice to see people being good-hearted,tolerant and having a sense of community,its not something you see often nowadays. If you do rent it,make sure to look at the extras. There is a short film,where the reclusive Wards visit Manhattan that I liked very much.
