The Worst Film Ever

Memorable, crazy movie

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Of all the Ernest movies, this one is my personal favorite. Everything all comes together beautifully. I love the intro as it mixes a nice mixture of old horror movies, creepy sound effects, and jaunty creepy music. Ernest's comic genius really pulls out all the stops in this one especially one scene where he plays a variety of different characters trying to convince a kid to build a tree house. I will admit the Troll is very frightening from a kid's perspective, but thankfully the humor and action offset that very well. I even like the fact they added Eartha Kitt for good measure and she adds some depth to this. Add in a great message about parental love and this one is a winner. RIP Ernest P Worrell.

Jim Varney and Eartha Kitt star in this 1991 comedy sequel. The late, Varney is back as goofy guy, Ernest P. Worrell who now works as a sanitation worker. He learns that his ancestor cursed the Town, Briarville long ago when entombing an evil Troll that attacks children. On Hallow's Eve, Ernest unwittingly awakes it and fights against it along with it's minions learning that Milk destroys them. Kitt (Boomerang) plays Old lady Hackmore, a strange woman who helps Ernest save the Town. This isn't a bad film that's basically a send-up of horror & B-movies. It has some goofy & spooky moments and Varney was great as Ernest as usual. I recommend this.

Looking back into my memories as a child, I remember this movie being the best of the Earnest series, which was often too absurd to warrant my full-full attention. Though I was perhaps three or four at the time, my tastes had already been refined by films like Beetlejuice and Peewee's big Top. But what makes this film memorable, and perhaps all the films that I've listed, are their balanced transitions from funny to morbid-freaky. As for this film, I think the device of children being attacked by a leprechaunish troll, only to have their twisted faced immortalized in the wooden dolls they have now become. Once collected, they rest, powering the Gothic tree, lovingly tree-housed by our goofy friend Earnest for all of his friends.

Boy do I love this movie. Yes it is Stupid, Yes it is Funny, No it isn't the best film out there. However, I try to watch it every Halloween. This year however it didn't come on TV. So I have decided to buy it. I'm getting it because it is one movie that will scare my three year old without making her terrified for the rest of her life: like child's play, Halloween, Freddy, and Jason movies. This year I didn't get to watch one Halloween movie because they were all too scary for her to watch so I can't wait to get this movie in the mail, even though Halloween is already over. This movie is about a bumbling Ernest who can of course never do anything right. To save the world he has to fight mean Trolls that steal children.
