Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Troll (2022)

An archaeologist is called in to help when blasting to tunnel through a mountain causes inexplicable damage. As more havoc occurs, it becomes apparent to her that she is going to need to reach out to her long-estranged father for his help.

The effects are well-done, but everything else felt paint-by-numbers. We have a crazy man who might not be crazy after all, a long-held secret by a powerful man, military personnel who want to nuke first, romantic vibes when there's no time for that shit, etc. Diverting, but only about a half-inch thick.
