Joshua and his family decide to do a city/country family exchange, landing themselves in the peaceful town of Nilbog. Once there, Joshua's dead grandfather returns to warn him of the evils of Nilbog and tries to get him to convince his family to leave. His parents and sister ignore him. Joshua learns that the town's inhabitants are actually goblins and that their mission is to get outsiders to eat their goblin food, turning them into trees, where they can be eaten and devoured (the goblins are vegetarians). He must work with the ghost of his grandfather to rid the town of its goblins and restore peace to Nilbog. (officiële tekst van distribiteur)

The 3rd worst movie according to IMDb ratings. I was looking forward to some proper guilty-pleasure until I saw the name of the director. I've known that Claudio Fragasso is an unbelievable shit-factory since his previous massive crap After Death. Here I got a similar "quality" experience: very bad (as I hoped), but also very boring (as I expected from Fragasso, unfortunately). About the plot, I think this should be enough: the family of the main child protagonist goes on a trip to the city of Nilbog, which is located in the territory of a mysterious queen and her trolls. The queen turns her victims into plants and then into a kind of green slime, which her trolls (apparently child actors with incredibly bad costumes) eat with gusto. The clever boy finds out and, with the help of his grandfather's revelations, tries to protect his family and defeat the queen. The whole film is mostly green slime, which is vomited (sometimes the boy, the queen and by the end the trolls), enjoyed in a gourmet fashion (the trolls again), or drips from a body (and is subsequently consumed) during the metamorphosis of one of the victims. Another interesting scene is when the queen makes out with a tourist in a caravan. During their fit of passion, they are eating corn when they are suddenly showered with popcorn from somewhere on the ceiling (probably the artistic intention of the director or something). Yes, the previous may sound promising, but I warn everyone, it's so boringly presented that you're guaranteed not to be entertained. All the most interesting moments of the whole film could be edited into a five-minute trailer, otherwise it's boring, shoddy and amateurish. But as unbelievable as it sounds, I've seen worse crap.

The "worst best movie of all time" designation is totally unfair, but it's still satisfyingly bad in a fun way.
