THE CRAWLERS trailer - killer radioactive tree roots flick

Very rare trailer for the 1990 direct-to-video horror flick THE CRAWLERS about a small Alaskan town terrorized by killer mutant tree roots spawned by illegal nuclear waste dumping. A must be seen to be believed bad movie.

A crooked nuclear power plant manager has been illegally dumping nuclear waste in the forest outside of a backwoods Alaskan town. The radiation has thus been seeping into the soil where it got lapped up by the tree roots. This has caused the roots to detach from their trees, grow and elongate, and begin prowling the woods like wormy tendrils looking for hapless victims to trip, drag, lash, strangle, and just generally coil around. They really could have called this movie "The Hosers" given the killer tree roots look like disguised garden hoses that are being whipped around and thrown at the actors from off camera. Kind of hard for a movie monster to be scary when its primary attribute is an ability to flail about.

Apologies for the hits in the video.

Yeah, the Cinema Snob did a review of this on his site a while back. I think he explained why it's sometimes called Troll 3, watch it if you get some time.

I've heard of this before. Sometimes it's called Troll 3, for absolutely no good reason.
