One film is a quirky fantasy; the other is one of the most infamous 'so bad it's good' movies ever made. Here's how to watch the cult Troll films in order.
The Troll series is a curious piece of cult-movie history. The 1986 original is a modest fantasy-horror film about a family menaced by a magical troll, while its in-name-only follow-up, Troll 2, became legendary as a gloriously inept classic beloved by bad-movie fans worldwide.
π Release Order
Release order keeps the two cult films in sequence.
- Troll (1986)
- Troll 2 (1990)
Despite the title, the two films are unrelated, so there's no shared chronology to follow.
π Story Chronology
There's no connected story here β Troll 2 has no actual trolls and no link to the first film, so each stands entirely on its own.
- Troll (1986)
- Troll 2 (1990) β unrelated to the first film
Which Order Should You Choose?
Watch the 1986 original if you enjoy offbeat '80s fantasy horror. But the real reason to visit this franchise is Troll 2, best experienced with friends as one of the most hilariously bad movies ever made. The companion documentary Best Worst Movie makes a great follow-up.
