I don't know the movie called "Troll". However, this threat about
80's movies makes me think about "Young Sherlock Holmes", by Barry
Levinson.In this movie, Holmes and Watson are still teenagers and
they attend a boarding school. One of their teachers (don't remember
the name of the character, but the actor who plays the part is
Anthony Higgins) is in reality the leader of a sect and a criminal.
The matron of the school is in reality his sister. She's a member of
the sect and there's a scene in which she takes out her lining and
wig, revealing her bald head. Those two characters remind Quirrel
and Crouch Jr. But there's especially Holmes's rival, a boy called
Dudley. The young actor who plays the part has a pointed face and
very smooth blond hair, just like Draco. Oh, and there's also an old
professor, who looks mad but turns out to be a genius. Holmes
defeats of course the leader of the sect. We learn at the end that
this bad guy survived, to become Moriarty. In other words: Holmes
creates his arch enemy, just the way Voldemort does with Harry.
(That reminds me that it's what Batman explains to Joker,who killed
his parents, in the first movie by Tim Burton).
By the way: Chris Columbus wrote the scenario of "Young Sherlock
Holmes". Coincidences, coincidences...
Amicalement,
Iris
