PRESS COVERAGE
"Bathroom Troll is by far one of my favorite shorts from Fantastic Fest and from 2019 in general! It’s a modern-day horror film that uses the perfect mix of fantasy and reality to create something special!"
-PopHorror.com

"Writer/Director Aaron Immediato has created a compelling universe where infinite comedic, dramatic, and supernatural scenarios can blend with ease, and I want more dammit!"
​-Horror Fuel

​"
Bathroom Troll will torment audiences! Immediato crafts a fast-paced, slightly tongue-in-cheek revenge story for a modern audience with a skilled cast!"
-iHorror

"
Bathroom Troll is very inventive and influenced by several other horror movies...it's a pleasure to watch beginning to end! Performances by all the cast are well beyond what one could expect from a short! Hopefully Bathroom Troll is not the last we have seen from Aaron Immediato!"
-Horrornews.net

"Immediato takes a stab at Carrie through a modern lens. With commentary on transphobia and gender stereotyping,
Bathroom Troll takes the classic King tale and flips it on its head. Starts like Stephen but quickly curtails into a wild ride of Jennifer's Body meets Evil Dead. A zany fun ride."
-Ghastly Grinning

"
Bathroom Troll pays homage to Brian De Palma’s 1976 screen version of Stephen King’s Carrie while giving a fresh, current take on high-school–outsider revenge horror. Immediato paces Bathroom Troll marvelously, infusing the short with occasional humorous moments but keeping the story clearly in horror territory."
​-Gruesome Magazine
SYNOPSIS
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 a fresh, new twist on the horror classic Carrie.
