Hobgoblins Audience Reviews

Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
kylesellars-33776 well You can tell how bad a movie is just by looking at the trailer i can already tell that this is a Gremlins ripoff Just by looking at the trailer The horrible acting The hobgoblins while i'm on the subject the hobgoblins aren't even puppets,more like fuzzy throw-pillows There's a movie on YouTube that is way better then this Called Damien Demento IV - Full Movie - By Kyle Sellars Just copy and paste the title or right click and highlight the text and click the option that says Search Google For "Damien Demento IV - Full Movie - By Kyle Sellars" Either way works Damien Demento IV might not be famous it might have 40 views 3 likes and 0 dislikes and yes the hobgoblins movie on youtube has 169,368 views 578 likes and 63 dislikes but Damien Demento IV has more positive reviews on YouTube then hobgoblins and not as many dislikes.
seriousfilmcritic97 At first a held certain reservations against watching a film with what appears to be a no-brainer title for a film about the very same beasts, but sometimes the direct option is the best.Starring Tom Bartlett as Kevin, a young and brave assistant security guard, and Jeffrey Culver as McCreedy, the wizened old security guard who has seen too much, "HOBGOBLINS" takes us on a horrifying journey to the realm of the darker aspects of human consciousness made flesh. After a lengthy but suspenseful tour through the corridors of a mysterious storage facility, a group of frightening creatures known as 'hobgoblins' are released from a wicked bank vault within the facility. These demonic beings posses the ability to take the lives of humans by making their innermost wishes come true, hover at human shoulder height at will, and drive golf carts. What follows is a twisted ride into the psyche, as a gang of hormone-laden teenagers witness the horror of the hobgoblins, and their own inner selves.Writer/Director/Director of Photography/Editor/Producer Rick Sloane allows the audience no pause from the terror of the sickening creatures, and the atmosphere and execution is overall spot on. Forgivably Freudian, the movie posits that when the primitive urges of the id infect the aspirations of the superego, what wishes we hope to fulfill will inevitably doom the self, but through the use of rationality and technology, even the most misguided soul can be retrieved from apparent demise.Unfortunately, the film is held back from inducing true insight in its audience due to some unfortunate use of prosthetic eyebrows on Mr. Culver. This distracting little mishap did cost the film one star in this review.In the end, "HOBGOBLINS" left me with an optimistic view of humanity. For if we can successfully survive the onslaught of such abominations that attempt to let our darker selves consume us, what else is there that could truly destroy us? I found the title ultimately an impeccable choice, since as we all know: hobgoblins are more introspective than regular goblins.*********/10 stars.
Anders Twetman I like to watch bad movies, in the hopes of finding ones that are so bad it's funny, considering the stuffed animal monsters and girl in pink underwear on the poster I had high hopes for this one.It starts out good, you have all the elements for a so-bad-it's-funny flick; the plot is a simple set up for a monster movie, the characters are mostly useless stereotypes, the acting is bad, the monsters are these silly looking stuffed animals, and the overall look and feel is sub par. As the story unfolds, it starts to get confusing, characters acting more stupid than the format demands and lots of unexplained events, like a guy leaving his friends to call a sex hot-line for no reason. There are also lots of unnecessary scenes of people parking their car and such, which makes the movie kind of boring. This flick is teetering right on the edge to that wonderful world of unintentional comedy but the boring scenes and confusing push it over the edge into simply bad territory, without the funny.
garyb04 The first time I ever saw this piece of dung heap was through Mst3k and I couldn't believe anything could be this bad!!! Worse than Manos?? Yes,it's true!! I don't know if I should talk about the so-called acting or the many mistakes this movie has because there's so many to pick.I read that the director did it on purpose in hopes that MST3K would do this,but who knows!! The whiny hero to his non-supportive girlfriend to the nerdy pervert to the over-sexed floozy that is called Daphne;each actor is annoying in their own way.Even the creatures weren't even scary or even cute,like the ones in Gremlins,but it doesn't matter..If you're curious about seeing this,please,please see the Mst3k version and that's it,OK?? You have been warned!!!!!
