Summary
A young boy and his family take a vacation home swap to the rural town of Nilbog, where the locals turn out to be vegetarian goblins who transform humans into plant matter so they can be eaten. Guided by visions of his deceased grandfather, the boy tries to warn his skeptical family and stop the creatures before the whole family is consumed.
Troll 2 is a 1990 comedy, fantasy and horror film.
The cohort it is ranked inside is 1990s films — 4,082 of them. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 1,521 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 322 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 345 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Troll 2 lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 1990s (4,082 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 322.
