Leading up to the screening of “Best Worst Movie” at the South Alabama Film Festival, a special screening of “Troll II,” the infamous film which inspired the documentary will be held on Sunday, October 24, at 2 P.M. at Bernheim Hall in the Ben May Library.

Commonly touted as the worst movie of all time, Troll 2 has gained a large cult following as the crowned jewel of terrible B-horror films.

Best Worst Movie, directed by Troll 2’s once-disgraced child star, Michael Paul Stephenson, unravels the stories of these unforgettable real-life characters and the colorful army of devotees who continue to revel in the film’s perfectly flawed brilliance.

At the center of this celebrated documentary is the improbable story of a small-town Alabama dentist-turned-cult-movie-icon, and an Italian filmmaker who come to terms (or doesn’t) with his internationally revered cinematic failure.

Best Worst Movie is an affectionate and intoxicatingly fun tribute to the single greatest bad movie ever made and the people responsible for unleashing it on the world. The result is a hilarious and tender offbeat journey that pays homage to lovers of bad movies and the people who make them, while investigating a deeper story about the strange nature of celebrity, the catharsis of redemption and the humanity that exists in making even the worst movie ever made.
