What was that movie?

[MikeM]

Need your expert help on something that's been bothering me..

Just over 10yrs ago I saw a movie while I was in Florida and I can't recall the title. I was about 5...

Here are some of the bits I remember. (In no order)

There was a bunch of people, male and female I belive, and they all looked normal except for they all had a scar down one of their cheeks. Same scar, same cheek. They were these Goblin type things that would make people eat food so they could eat them.

They could pass through mirrors. (I think)

Some kid was calling to his Grandfather in a mirror and a Goblin thing jump out and tried to get him, but then his Grandfather jump out afterwards with a sledge hammer and killed it.

At the end a Goblin takes the kids mom out of the shower, the kid was playing with his Lego or something when a baseball rolls down the stairs with "YUM YUM MOMS GOOD" scratched into it. He runs upstairs to see a bunch of Goblins crowded around the table eating the remains of his Mom. It was all jelly like.

If you could please tell me the title it would really make my day. The reason I need to know is that my cousin was babysitting me at the time when I watched it and when I told my Mom about it she asked my cousin who denied it and that I must of dreamed it up. So after telling my Mom what I can remember of it, if I knew the title I could prove them wrong once and for all!

sounds like

Troll 2 (1990)

btw.. its bottom 100: #4

Where do I start?

While watching this, I realized I was seeing one inane flick but at least I could stomach it better than your average soap opera. Now I wonder just what have I done to my brain? It feels like it's turning into... green plant-like goo. AHHHH!

Possible Spoilers***

First, I'll say that I thought perhaps there might have been an intelligent idea at the development stage of this movie. Obviously that got lost somewhere in the inane dialogue (which sounds like it was written by someone who just came off a "Learn The Entire English Language In 2 Hours" program), the typical porn-quality direction from D'Amato, and the atrocious acting. I have never seen worst performances in my life and I'm not the kind of naysayer critic who bashes every horror movie ever made for it's acting quality. This was simply unbearable. I cringed just about every time the mom or sister spoke cause they look really stoned.

But wait, there's more. MUCH MORE. There's this witch who turns people into plants so she can eat them...seriously. Her acting is so over the top that her lines might as well been read from behind the camera. She has cheesy-lookin' green blood and can re-generate severed limbs by sticking her wound over a furnace. Her gray hair is obviously silver spray-paint, which goes perfectly with her terribly unconvincing make-up...and to top it all off she talks to a guy through his TV and SEDUCES HIM WITH CORN ON THE COBB!

There's also goblins (and no trolls) that are clearly midgets with pillows under their clothes and masks that were obviously made by 1st graders.

Here are some of the other Oscar-caliber triumphs in TROLL II:

The ghost of an annoying kid's grandfather magically stops time and the kid pees on his family's diner.

Twists in the plot are conveyed to the audience in messages on baseballs.

The director makes it as obvious as possible that Nilbog is Goblin backwards and our hero has to see the name in a mirror to figure it out.

Goblins flee from a double-decker balony sandwich like vampires from the sun.

In a semi-thrilling finale, our hero states that "Only the power of goodness can destroy these monsters" and commands his family to put their hands on this big piece of styrofoam, err, stone (yeah, the goblins have some unexplained connection to the Stonehenge) and "concentrate." Poof. Problems solved.

if u wanna make a bad movie... do it bad and funny
