big city girl josie ( mary seller ) have just arrive back in her small alaskan hometown for an extended stay with her mother and kid brother and and decides to possibly reconcile with her former high school boyfriend matt ( jason saucier ) while she there . down at the nearby nuclear power plant and illegal chemical dumping ( part of an obligatory and half assed cover up subplot ) have result in animated and super intelligent and radioactive tree root that be kill everyone off . victim include an obnoxious sheriff and a female hitchhiker pass through town and a farmer and his wife and a hooker with a heart of gold and a gas station attendant and his pet dog chester . the root mostly just trip or strangle people and make a hilarious whip crack noise whenever they attack . they also make a ( toy ) helicopter explode by pull it about two foot to the ground . during the film one and only bloody scene and the root go into a guy mouth and then poke the eyeball out of a mannequin head . and that about all she write with this dull a dishwater waste of time and which would be totally forget by now if not for a misleading title change link it to the notoriously awful camp classic troll 2. so be forewarn and no troll make an appearance in contamination . 7 ( aka troll 3 ) . hell and there aren not even any goblin . and unfortunately and while troll 2 fail in an enjoyable awful way and this one fail to reach that film same level of redeem unintentional hilarity . though thoroughly inept and it also bore and clichéd and slow moving and far too tame to really be enjoyable . the fact they use inexperienced local talent to fill out the cast and along with provide these laughably bad amateur thesps with truly rotten dialogue throughout the film and be the only point of possible enjoyment and though even that get old quickly . probably best know a the crawler here in the state and though the version i view be title creeper . don not know if that a cut version of this film or not and but i highly doubt it . i be also not sure of joe damato actual involvement since his name ( or david hill for that matter ) be nowhere to be find in the credit . only one director be list and that martin newlin while the same alias use by fabrizio laurenti for the linda blair or david hasselhoff film witchery ( 1988 ) .
