12.00 BEST WORST MOVIE (UK Premiere)
Michael Stephenson’s documentary on the US cult of TROLL 2, considered the worst movie ever made, is a consistently funny delight. Stephenson was a child actor when he appeared in director Claudio Fragasso’s wildly incompetent TROLL 2 and was amazed to learn it had become a fan-boy favourite. So too was dentist George Hardy who, in 1989, answered a casting call to star in the low budget horror. Their journey to learn why this exercise in ineptitude touched the soul of Nerd Nation is strangely moving and hilarious.
