Contamination .7 (1993)

aka Troll 3; The Crawlers; Creepers
A nuclear power plant dumps toxic waste in the forest, which causes tree roots to run amok and develop a taste for human flesh.

The Sheriff doesn't believe the stories of the scientist who works at the plant, or the local youths who find a dead body. He just mocks them and brushes them off. Turns out he's evil and in cahoots with the power plant.

People keep doing stupid things, like landing helicopters in the toxic sludge pit, or trying to dig up barrels of toxic waste without any thought of protecting their own safety - even though they already know the trees are deadly.

The film contains such stereotypical characters as evil Sheriff, authority figures who are in cahoots with the bad guys, and a hooker with a heart of gold who sacrifices her own life to save a small child.

This is supposedly Troll 3, but there are no trolls in it, nor anything relating to trolls, nilbog, or the previous movies.
