When I first heardNetflixwas making a sequel toTrollI immediately thought of 1990’sTroll 2.One of the worst movies of all time (with 5% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a cult classic for those who love ‘so bad it’s good’ films. Why shouldNetflixwaste time and money on something with almost no artistic merit?

Luckily this is a sequel to 2022’sTrollinstead, an unrelated and much much better movie. One of the best things aboutstreaming servicesis how they break down international barriers to provide the best entertainment regardless of origin. Without streaming many of us would never have heard of this NorweiganGodzilla-stylemovie.

The story revolves around a cryptid-style creature, a giant troll rumoured to live in the Norweigan mountains. Considering it was a straight-to-streaming movie, the CGI is impressive with the titular Troll less a waiting-under-a-bridge type and more a 150-foot-tall kaiju.

It was well received with an 89% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and became Netflix’s most-watched foreign language movie of all time (of course,Squid Gameis a series). Popular and critically praised? Sounds like a good excuse for a sequel to me.

Writer and director Roar Uthaug has been confirmed to return for the second instalment and with the original leaving plenty of scope for more, consider us excited. We will likely have to wait a while to see it, however, withVarietyclaiming filming won’t start until 2024. Perhaps we’ll just have to play thePlayStationclassicShadow of the Colossusin the meantime.
