Great news, cult film fans! The Troll 2 documentary Best Worst Movie is finally getting a theatrical release!
They’ve just signed a distribution deal with Area23A, the event-based film distribution company. They are the guys that released Anvil! The Story of Anvil to great success (I managed to catch Anvil playing twice because of it!), and plan on bringing Best Worst Movie/Troll 2 parties to your town.
They are coming first to the big three markets (Austin, LA and NYC) this Spring, and will roll out to more cities afterwards. I’d implore you to go see this one when it hits so more people can see it in theaters, because it’s such a damn entertaining film and really should be seen with a group. One of the reasons it works so well is that the director of the film, Michael Paul Stephenson, is probably best known as the child star of Troll 2. So there’s a personal connection there that you don’t get in many docs, and he uses it to his complete advantage, grabbing interviews with nearly all the cast and crew of this bizarre cult hit.
I’m really excited that people will finally get a chance to see this great film. I loved it, Devin loved it, and it makes for a great double feature with its source material- the inimitable Troll 2. It’s possible that the sheer badness of that film may have been outdone by The Room (now THAT would be a helluva double feature) but it’s still incredibly entertaining despite itself.

I thought from the headline that Devin was going to be doing some sort tour. That picture didn't exactly clear up my confusion either. BTW, that's just my opinion and this site is all about opinions.
Saw a double bill of Best Worst Movie (with director and George Hardy in the room with us) and Troll 2 last Summer at the Fantasia festival in Montreal. It was a really fun experience. It's a truly terrific documentary! Add troll 2 and you get one awesome evening. If this comes to your city you should really go!
Please let the masses know the second this hits NYC. I've been dying to see this movie. This was the first time I can remember actively hating a movie. Stayed up late when I was a little kid to catch Troll 2 on cable after seeing the original 50 times, and I had to turn it off after half an hour. Glad to see it's getting the recognition it deserves.
