'''''Troll''''' is a 1986 [[B-Movie]] about [[All Trolls Are Different|Torok]], the [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Troll]] (no relation to [[Turok (comics)|Turok]]). Directed by [[John Carl Buechler]], this was misbranded as a horror movie, but it shares far more aspects with the [[Urban Fantasy]] genre, and in fact it works better when viewed as such.
The movie focuses on the Potter family. In case you are wondering, yes, there is a [[Harry Potter]], two in fact (father and son), and this was ''way'' before the books. Wendy Potter, the obnoxious little girl of the family, is abducted by the troll, who then takes her form and infiltrates into the family. The rest of the movie he basically turns the neighbours into plant pods to generate more trolls to take over the world. Why didn't he do that before nobody knows. Anyway, Harry Potter Junior, played by a teenager [[Noah Hathaway]], realises his sister was replaced...after watching two sci-fi movies. [[What an Idiot!|And even so he thinks she's an alien]]. It takes him to meet Eunice St. Clair to realise what its really happening, and then he solves everything.
Its worth to note that this movie '''has no sequels'''. The [[So Bad It's Good]] ''[[Troll 2]]'' is actually an Italian movie with no relation

* [[All Trolls Are Different]]: Literally; all the trolls produced differ greatly from Torok.
** The only actual troll is Torok. The other creatures he spawns from the tenants are assorted fey folk. Damned
* [[Brainless Beauty]]: Harry Potter Junior (played by Noah Hathaway, who at the time aged quite nicely since his role as [[The Neverending Story (film)|Atreyu]]) is fairly nice looking, but comes across as rather stupid.
* [[Better Than It Sounds]]: Nobody is ever going to accuse this movie of being a masterpiece, but it is highly enjoyable.
