The segment in which Margo Prey asserts that Troll 2 has more in common with classic films starring the likes of Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn than with modern horror films is surreal.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 29, 2024

Best Worst Movie is an inquiry into the precise manifestations of its subject’s value for makers and fans alike rather than a simple tribute to it.

Y'all, I can't exclaim this loudly enough: Best Worst Movie is a really wonderful accomplishment.

| Jul 2, 2021

There's something completely joyous about watching a film in which the entire cast has sort of surrendered themselves to the journey.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 2, 2020

Follow your dreams. Follow your heart. BEST WORST MOVIE -- living proof that time does heal all wounds -- and bad movies.

| Nov 7, 2019

After an hour of non-stop adulation, Best Worst Movie begins to wear out its welcome.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 24, 2019

Takes cinematic trash and turns it into comedy gold.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 5, 2019

A fantastic deconstruction of how a bad film actually earn its "cult fave" status.

| Aug 28, 2015

[The] doc offers fittingly low-tech amusement throughout --which is a hell of a lot more than can be said about the tediously incomprehensible movie it champions.

| Jun 28, 2013

This is a sweet film about an unusual but notable part of "Hollywood," for a group of people who have, for the most part, barely been to Los Angeles.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Mar 19, 2012

Troll 2 has become a midnight favorite, and Stephenson looks at the phenomenon while catching up with his profoundly untalented costars and the grouchy Italian director.

| Dec 30, 2010

Whether or not you believe Troll 2 is the single worst film ever made... any fan of so-bad-it's-good cinema will appreciate this loving tribute

| Nov 18, 2010

All about the shooting and rise to cult status of Troll 2, deemed the Best Worst Movie of all time, this doc is entertaining whether you're a Troll 2-ite or not.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 14, 2010

What about old-school cult favorite "Manos: The Hands of Fate" ... Does Armond White have to step in with a Fresh review to get the ball rolling?

Cheap laughs are still laughs, right?

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 29, 2010

A very charming and touching documentary...

| Oct 11, 2010

It does make you realize that nobody gets up in the morning, showers, breakfasts, dresses and goes to work thinking they're making the worst film in history...

| Original Score: B | Sep 10, 2010

A documentary so enthusiastic, good-natured and sweet about such an abject disaster that it almost makes Troll 2 worthwhile.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 19, 2010

Fortunately, Best Worst Movie is not a revisionist attempt to rehabilitate Troll 2's dubious reputation. Instead, director Michael Stephenson, examines that 1990 film's unexpected rebirth as a midnight movie camp sensation.

| Aug 16, 2010

Delivers a well-rounded look at a remarkable turn of events without ever overdramatizing the actors' despair or over glamorizing their fame.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 13, 2010
