Bathroom Troll

USA |  2018  | 16 minutes  |  Director: Aaron Immediato

When a clique of mean girls bully Cassie for not “looking like a girl” in the school bathroom, they awaken a dangerous rage deep within her. Hell-bent on revenge, Cassie’s mother takes advantage of this anger and, with the help of a Satanic curse, conjures up a vengeance troll from hell. Suddenly, the tables are turned as one by one, the mean girls find nothing but terror and mayhem when they enter a bathroom. But can Cassie rein in the demonic bathroom troll and stop the bloodshed her mother has unleashed? A creative response to controversial "bathroom bill" legislation, BATHROOM TROLL is simultaneously a fresh, new twist on the horror classic CARRIE.
