Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The movies premise is a troll named Trantor who steals the souls of children, turning them into wooden dolls to bring back his army of trolls. Its scarier than it sounds, its very cheesy and the parts that are meant to be scary are actually funny. Kids can handle it.
- Audiences expecting a purely silly Ernest outing may be surprised by the film's scarier moments, where the evil troll stalks and attacks children. Eerie atmosphere, sound design, misdirection, and slimy monster effects are all employed to create a considerable level of fear during these scenes, which are played straight in contrast to the rest of the film's comedic tone.
- The design of Trantor and the other trolls were created by noted effects artists, the Chiodo Bros (Killer Klowns from Outer Space). They are gross, ugly and rather surreal looking, with lots of slime and exaggerated features (bulbous noses, big ears, gnarled teeth, etc). May be frightening for some children.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- A boy slips down a steep hill and scarps his body up some.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- Trantor the evil troll turns several children into inanimate wooden dolls throughout the film. Their friends and loved ones express dismay, believing them to be gone forever. The children are all turned back in the film's happy ending, but the gradual eliminating of characters, including major ones, constitutes a kind of "body count", and may be too intense for some children.
- A girl looks under her bed for a troll, which is somewhat intense. There is nothing under there, so she lies back in bed but rolls over to find the troll in her bed, next to her. A slightly scary jump-scene, which will probably frighten younger viewers.
