Best Worst Movie

Filmmaker Michael Paul Stephenson's witty, historical, tongue-in-cheek, fascinating, 90-minute, 2009 documentary that examines the surprising cult following surrounding the embarrassingly awful 1989 film Troll 2 that purports to be the "worst movie in history" and consists primarily of film snippets and interviews with its Italian director Claudio Fragasso and staff, including writer Rossella Drudi, composer Carl Cordio, and editor Vanio Amici; Troll 2 actors (dentist turned star George W. Hardy, Jason Steadman, Connie Young, Darren Ewing, Don Packard, Robert Ormsby, Kristina Reynolds, Margo Prey, Lance Williams, and Paul and Patrick Gibbs); Hardy's family, including wife Merry, parents Mary Ann and Bill, and sister Mollie Barrett; Hardy's friends Lila Graves and Laura Gulledge; mayor Barbara H. Young; school superintendant Dr. Tommy Bice; comedians Curtis Gwinn and John Gemberling; amateur film critics Randall Colburn and Tim Marklevitz; movie critic Scott Weinberg; Alamo Drafthouse Cinema founder Tim League; curator Jesse H.
