The Crawlers (1991)

I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

Charming and brutal

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This has to be my least favorite entry in the Troll saga, it was directed by Joe D'Amato, a director that I like, really, some of his movies I didn't care for, but I love some of his movies, this is one of his weaker films, it wasn't directed by him entirely, it was also directed by Fabrizio Laurenti, the film itself is very boring, the plot is interesting, but some of the films time is dedicated to this uninteresting love story that goes nowhere, the only parts that I consider to be interesting, where the scenes when a scientist was trying to expose a company for contaminating the forest, some of the gore scenes were pretty OK, even if they were bad, they are at least entertaining, if you are aware that you might be bored maybe you'll get some enjoyment out of the most interesting parts.

The Crawlers (USA) Troll 3 (USA) Troll III: Contamination Point 7 Creepers (UK)Creepers, Crawlers, Contamination point seven, you can call it whatever you want. But please don't call it troll 3! If it wasn't bad enough that Troll 2 didn't have any trolls in it, Troll 3 doesn't even have anything that resembles trolls in it. I suppose in some perverse way, this means that it fit's in quite well in the series. It is as proportionally less like 'Troll 2' , as 'Troll 2' is unlike 'Troll'. If you get my meaning. Let's quickly recap the plotsTroll: A troll enters a block of flats, and one by one turns each apartment into a magical woodland, and all the people into elves. A boy called Harry Potter learns magic (!) from a witch and attempts to save the dayTroll 2: A group of nasty vegetarian goblins attempt to lure unsuspecting humans to eat their green goo, in order to turn the people into vegetables to be eaten. A young boy and his dead grandpa attempt to save the day.Troll 3: A town is attacked by a mass of evil radioactive tree roots, and as people are killed off, our heroes try to hide the nuclear waste and attempt to save the day.Now to say that they all have nothing to do with each other would be a tad unfair. As you can see, there is a definite running theme of anti-vegetarianism/ environmentalism. Yes, in every movie it's all things natural that become the source of all the suffering. Creepers, in the end, however, just doesn't live up to the standard set by it's predecessor. It is generally very dull, with awful acting, toy bulldozers, no SFX (with the exception of a tree root winding through someone's face). But the film does set up an interesting thought. Just exactly what would 'Troll 4' be like if it were to follow in the trend of this series?So basically it would have to have fierce anti-plant themes to it, and leave some people in peril, who save the day by doing something ridiculousI'm thinking flowers. A backward red neck town gets attacked by a gang of mutant sunflowers (or whatever), and the locals group together and make a plan to save the day by blocking out the sun, killing all forms of chlorophyll-induced life in the areaSo there we have it … Troll 4 in the making.Oh, and back to troll 3, it's entertaining in a bad way, but don't expect a Troll 2 style masterpieceConclusion, Worth it, but only for completion purposes.

Kidding.Okay, you're right, this is THE single worst movie of all time. But there are some GREAT lines: Hit-man one to hit-man two: "Shut up. And drive." Well, one great line. And that was pretty much the highlight of the movie.The poor guy who played the helicopter pilot is a friend of mine, so once a year a bunch of us get together for a Crawlers party, to make fun of, and abuse, our friend. "I've lived among the trees all my life and I've never seen anything like it." As far as I can tell, the only reason to watch this movie is because you know someone who acted, and I use the term loosely, in it.Dear God, what were they thinking when they made this thing? I'm glad they did, but...Lord-love-a-duck this thing stinks!

This movie was so ridiculous I had to continuously check the counter on my VCR to see how much time was left. There were barely any good lines in the film. I thought it would at least come close to the masterpiece of Troll 2, but I should have known nothing will ever come close to that A+ piece of work. I believe the cast had more potential to make us laugh but apparently the director tried too hard to be serious. I try not to get caught up in things like logic in these kinds of movies, but I mean come on !!! the helicopter exploded two feet from the ground. Anyway, when I found out there was a sequel to Troll 2, I thought it would be superb, but obviously I was wrong. At least I only paid $1.75 for the VHS copy, and as a friend of mine pointed out, it's really sad when the shipping of a movie out weighs the actual cost. Anyways, don't bother even renting this movie, just watch Troll 2 an excessive amount of times.
