Troll 3 (also known as Creepers, Contamination .7, Troll III: Contamination Point 7, or The Crawlers) is a 1993 Italian horror film directed by Joe D'Amato and Fabrizio Laurenti.
Like Troll 2, despite the English title, Troll 3 has no plot connection to the original Troll, features no trolls, and is also a horror film, not fantasy-comedy. The film has none of the original cast, nor storyline continuation, from either Troll film. An early script was made with the original cast in mind.[citation needed] In one scene in a bar, a banjo centric song from Troll 2 can be heard in the background.
Plot
After a small town nuclear power plant dumps hazardous waste into a forest surrounding the small town, people begin dying in increasingly gruesome ways. People cannot pinpoint the source of the deaths, until the EPA investigates, proving that the forests' roots were mutated due to the waste, beginning to kill and eat people. The plants attempt to break loose, however the EPA arrives again and bulldozes the plants, killing them, leaving the possibility that some more plants may have survived.
