Hobgoblins Movie Reviews

A Rip-off of Rip-offs

If movies like Ghoulies rip off Gremlins, then Hobgoblins sinks to the new low of ripping off garbage like Ghoulies. These barely-animated furbies have some kind of scheme to fulfill fantasies (which involve basically groteque characters’ sex dreams – oh joy), but what that has to do with anything is anybody’s guess, except to let the director indulge his kinky penchant for erotica. They show this down in the 8th circle of Hell, one suspects. There’s no real plot – just “goblins – kill!” and feeble attempts at humor and a mild attempt to arouse the viewing audience.

Hobgoblins: Hardly a worst ever….

Hobgoblins currently sits as the 30th worst movie ever made on IMDb and lets be clear it’s terrible………pee poor stuff that makes the average cheesy 80’s movie look artistic.

In a cross between Critters, Gremlins & an ounce of Wishmaster this creature feature doesn’t deserve its place on that list and I’m baffled why it’s there. Movies on that list are usually there because of an actor/actress (Paris Hilton) because it’s got a gimmick or an angle that upsets people or non-existent production values.

Hobgoblins isn’t worth your time but one of the worst films ever made? Hardly.

This Movie fails…on so many levels.

No matter how you look at this movie, it is just awful.

If you view it as a horror, then it is an unscary movie with the monsters being hand puppets.

If you look at it as a comedy, then you will notice most of the humor falls flat and is just lame.

If it is a romance you will wonder why a guy would stay with such a B**ch!

If you look at it as an action you can’t really pull for the whiny hero.

As you can see this movie just fails to deliver anything remotely entertaining. As mentioned the monsters are obvious puppets and this film was another attempt at a Gremlins type movie. This however has the worst looking monsters of that genre. Critters looked pretty good, so did the Ghoulies, heck even the puppets from the Munchies looked better than these. The characters in this film are thouroughly unlikable. The hero is a whiney security guard, his girlfriend is always complaining, they have a tramp friend who has a jerk military boyfriend, and another friend who is a spaz. At one point in the movie the hero and the military guy fight with rakes…this movie is just utterly stupid. I like the scene when they are in the dreaded club scum (which is obviously not a club, but more likely a diner) and the hero tells the waitress that none of them are 21. Give me a break, I am 25 and I look younger than any of them.
