This movie suffers from some poor acting but it does have a lot going for it. I don't much like the comedic parts as it turns me off from strickly thinking of this as a horror film. I will say that the kid in the movie is one creepy ass kid and I think of good ole Jeffrey Dahmer everytime I watch this movie. Overall it's not the best thing you'll see but the ending is awesome!

Twelve year-old Jamie Benjamin is a misunderstood lad. His classmates pick on him, his neighbors think he's weird and his parents ignore him. But now Jamie has a secret weapon: deep in the woods he has discovered a deep pit full of man-eating creatures he calls Trogs... and it isn't long before he gets an idea for getting revenge and feeding the Trogs in the process!
