Fellow "bad" movie lovers, this is our nirvana. This film is hilarious. It is beyond inept, but you will be drawn into it. Just like a horsefly to an electric bug light.

Our plot involves a simple housing exchange program between your typical suburban family and the residents of the town "Nilbog." Just to complicate matters, though, it seems that the son, Joshua, is seeing visions of his dead Grandpa Seth. Good old Seth fills Joshua's head with stories of evil goblins and Nilbog being the goblin capital. The course of the movie is basically how Joshua tries to convince his family that he is not imagining things and to save them from the goblins. Starring in this little parable are the most unspeakably bad actors that have ever, EVER been in a movie. My personal (dis)favorites were Creedence (the goblin queen), the mother, the daughter, the father, Joshua, daughter's boyfriend, the boyfriend's friends, and, oh heck, everyone. The dialogue is of the type that continually makes you go "Huh?" Again, it's hard to single out any particular lines. Search this little gem out -- you won't regret it.

Scenes to watch for: Home cooking with listermint. The super-powered bologna sandwich. Bad 80s music. The spear throwing scene. And where the hell are all the trolls?
