Watch Goblin For Free

the audience applauded

A Masterpiece!

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Every Halloween, it gets really hot in this small village, and the son is always shining.There is a curse on the village, the titular beasty steals kids every year if there are any lurking about, thanks to a witch casting a spell on everyone.Gil Bellows takes his family to the said village, with little baby, to settle a deal. His daughter resents him a little, but she has her friend with her, who is very flirty on the verge of caricature.They want to settle a deal, with someone else who isn't that important to remember, but the goblin soon comes back for the night, and to be truthful, he looks more like the ghost of Christmas future from 'Scrooged' than a menacing threat.The film is silly, with awful CGI, and the cast, apart from Bellows are awful and unlikeable.There is a perfunctory twist at the end, and we also have the inclusion of the village drunk, who raises this film to two stars rather than one, because for some reason, put a big grin on may face whenever he was on screen, because he is just so ridiculous.At times watching this, I thought that the makers were trying to make another Troll 2, ans it has the same air to it.Apart from the village drunk, this is a sober affair.

Just finished watching this movie and thought i'd write quick review about it, first off the acting in this movie is surprisingly good, no one seems to look out of their depth and they play their characters well. The story line is kind of predictable though, its your average horror movie and doesn't take a genius to guess what's going to happen next,but then again horror movies are more about the odd scare or two rather than being too over complex that you struggle to follow whats going on.The thing what lets this movie down for me is the actual goblin, instead of using good old fashioned costume and makeup they've gone for a more special effects kind of monster which I don't feel is suited for this type of movie or budget, I think you'd be more convinced with someone dressed up with a mask on!!Overall in my eyes this movie deserves a 6/10 this is mainly due to the fact the actors/actresses are better than your average B movie standards and although this movie won't win any awards it will pass a couple of hours on a night.

Another SyFy movie... And you never know what you are going to get with these; it is either really bad or actually quite good. SyFy have been known to surprise us viewers from time to time.Unfortunately, "Goblin" wasn't a nice surprise. That being said, it is not one of the worst SyFy movies though. The storyline was a bit interesting, about a town being cursed for some wrong-doings of the past. But the part with the goblin? Well, that didn't really work well with me.The goblin itself resembled more a ring wraith from "Lords of the Ring" than a goblin. Now, I know what goblins usually look like in role-playing games, so that is what I am using for comparison. But the whole thing with the creature being draped in a large hooded robe and even walking like a ring wraith, nah! I just didn't buy that. I was waiting for Mr. Frodo to come out and wrestle the goblin. But it just didn't happen, unfortunately. The goblin looked really badly animated and it there was never a doubt of this being cheap CGI in my mind. The goblin looked like something from a 80's movie, it was an eyesore.As for the acting in "Goblin", well then the actors and actresses were actually doing a well enough job with their roles and what they had to work with. Of course, there is no award-winning performances to be found here, but on the plus side, it is better than what have been seen in other SyFy movies previously.The movie is labeled as a fantasy, horror and sci-fi. Well I can understand the fantasy part well enough, but the horror and sci-fi? Not so much. The movie wasn't scary, not in the least.The good part of "Goblin" was that there was a good constant flow to the story, and you never really were left to be bored. Plus there were some nice moments in the story along the way as well. But these were hardly enough to lift the movie up from being under average. Having seen the movie now, I can say that it is not a movie that I will be making a second trip back to watch.

First of all I am not claiming this movie to be a masterpiece by far, but for a scyfy flick it stands above a lot of the 'syfy' originals I have seen in the past and if you take it for what it is, its really not that bad of a movie. I got a chance to watch it late last night on a snowy New England evening and it was able to keep my attention all the way through. It had decent acting, decent gore, and a decent scenery for a TV movie. I think scyfy has come along way from the some of the older flicks they put out. Of course this movie doesn't really add anything new to the genre, but cmon we can't expect too much from the scyfy network. ScyFy is good for giving small little movies to quench the thirst of die-hards while we wait for the next gem sci fi or Horror movie to come along. If you expect a hidden gem to come in the form of a ScyFy original movie you better pack your lunch. My point is its a TV movie so try to view it as such.Anyway, moving right along like I said its not likely that we will see Gil Bellows or any of the other actors at the grammy awards any time soon for this, but if you happen to come upon it on the Sci fi channel and don't mind their movies too much you might want to give it a watch.Keep in mind, I give this a 6 and am rating it as a T.V. movie. If I paid to go see it a theater or bought it new for $14 I would rate it differently.
