Opening with a little kid pushing two bullies down a hole filled with monsters (a scene that'll be repeated later) we automatically think to ourselves "are we supposed to take this seriously?". Sammy Snyders weakly stars as a bullied pre-teen who talks to his teddy bear and finds a pit filled with troll creatures out in the woods. Well, when his babysitter snubs him and everyone in town (a town filled with bitter and rude people I might add - quite a bit overdone) picks-on him some more he starts feeding his enemies to those monsters in "THE PIT!!" (muwah ha ha!).
Pretty laughable low-grade obscurity is packed with wooden dialogue and silly acting with those trolls in the pit crappy looking and unintentional laughs abounds.
Totally cheap-ass with a tiresome final third but we can have cheap chuckles at Snyders reply to the local butcher who proclaims the raw meat he's buying is a lot by saying, "well, it is for five" and such moments as the "perfectly cued tape" phone call, when he tries to feed the trolls a cow (and reasons with it!) and the hilarious pushing of an old lady in a wheelchair into the pit (an obvious dummy). Forget the Pit...
