This is a SyFy Channel horror movie. Therefore, by definition, it is going to be low budget schlock - if you have seen any SyFy movies then you will know this going in and, if you haven't, I'm telling you now.
It isn't awful. It is well photographed and, in general, well put together technically - there are plenty of horror films which are badly lit, out of focus, muddy sound, hand-held when a tripod should be used etc. etc. and it is pleasing when those problems aren't there to make a poor film worse. Also, it is tolerably well acted, and has an unusual monster. There is some fairly explicit gore for gore watchers (low in volume, maybe, but moderately chunky, so to speak).
What Goblin doesn't have is any surprises, but the horror movie which does is a rare beast indeed.
There are loads of films around which are much worse than this, which is a decent attempt by SyFy to make a small budget stretch further than you would expect.
