Summary
Troll is a comedic fantasy/horror film written by Ed Naha and directed by John Carl Buechler that centers around a strange troll that inhabits a San Francisco apartment complex in the 80s. When the Potter family moves into their new apartment, the youngest daughter is attacked by a Troll with a magical ring that allows him to take on her form. One by one, he begins to transform several tenants of other apartments into various fairy tale creatures and their domiciles into lush environments. Finally, Harry Jr. starts to notice the changes and seeks help from a nearby witch to stop the strange series of events. Troll went on to spawn two additional sequels, and rumors still circulate surrounding an animated series that was initially expected to launch in 2018.
