Short description

When young Joshua learns that he will be going on vacation with his family to a small town called Nilbog, he protests adamantly. He is warned by the spirit of his deceased grandfather that goblins populate the town. His parents, Michael and Diana, dismiss his apprehensions, but soon learn to appreciate their son's warnings. Guided by his grandfather's ghost, will Joshua and his family stand a chance in fighting off these evil beings?

What's left behind the scenes

Director Claudio Fragasso and his wife Rossella Drudi, who only spoke Italian, wrote the script in very poor English. On set, the actors wanted to improvise to improve their lines, but Fragasso forbade it, saying that all dialogue had to be read exactly as written in the script.
The entire cast came to the film's audition hoping to play supporting roles, but after the screening, they were offered the lead roles.
The film was originally titled “Goblins,” but distributors in the US anticipated it would not be successful as a standalone project, so they insisted on the title “Troll 2” to capitalize on the minor success of the film “Troll,” to which this picture has no relation whatsoever.
In 2007, a festival was held in Morgan, Utah, where “Troll 2” was filmed. The town was transformed into the fictional town of Nilbog, which was depicted in the film. The mayor of Morgan presented director Claudio Fragasso with a symbolic key to the city.
Despite the misleading title, trolls do not appear in the film.
