A campy 1980s creature-feature about a malevolent troll infiltrating a San Francisco apartment building to possess a child and build an army, blending horror menace with fantastical strangeness.

When a family moves into a San Francisco apartment, an opportunistic troll decides to make his move and take possession of little Wendy, thereby paving the way for new troll recruits, the first in his army that will take eventual control of the planet. We soon discover Torok is the ex-husband of Eunice St. Clair, a resident in the building who was married to Torok.
