I can't help think this movie is really about the boy arriving at sexual maturity. Early on in the film the old lady specifically calls him pre-pubescent. But then we clearly see the hair under his arms when he is in bed, and we know that there must be "changes" taking place. All the men in the film except his father succumb to the lascivious come-ons of his little sister. Then he has to fight the 'evil' with a spear that shoots white stuff. I mean...really???

Nope, you are projecting. Think you've been watching to much porn. Lay off of it for a while, maybe you'll see thing clearer lol.

Really well written films, songs, stories (even 'Rocky & Bullwinkle') can have more than one main surface level or theme/allegory to them. All the old mythology stories were truly like that, so you may be on to something here.

Watched this yesterday on Comet TV, and they 'fogged over' Julia Lewis-Dreyfuss' body, as she frolicked in the new woods that the troll grew in her characters apartment. My god, in Europe they show people naked in TV ads and films/TV all the time... No wonder porn is so huge in America. We hide the human body, but at the same time are so obsessed with sex (like, take Hooters, for example...)

Anyhoo, 'Troll' was a lot more fun and entertaining than I thought it would be.

And seeing Sonny Bono in it just made my day, LOL!
