The Waits are going on a family vacation. But instead of beautiful Hawaii or Florida, they decide to house-sit in a small town called Nilbog. Yup, that's goblin spelled backwards - not troll, goblin.
The Waits settle in, and Joshua, the young boy of the family, is suspicious of the town. This is because his deceased Grandpa Seth keeps coming alive to give him advice and save him.
The town ends up being full of goblins, who encourage tourists todrink their chunky milk and eat their green food. If humans eat or drink Nilbog's delicacies, they become the goblin's food. But, what food? Well, half-human/half-tree food of course.
Hunger pains, popcorn and weird witches are roadblocks for the Waits, but they eventually learn they have to defeat the goblins at a mini-stonehedge by touching it and thinking happy thoughts. I guess it is like a really demented Peter Pan.
The movie is beyond bad. The dialogue is simply ridiculous. Watch for the scene in which the dad yells at Joshua for urinating on the food so his family doesn't become goblin food. The acting is awful, and it is just one of those movies that is so bad you want to watch it again and again.
Oh, and by the way, the word troll is never mentioned in the movie.
