Review of Goblin

Goblin (2010 TV Movie)

Warning: Spoilers
I remember seeing this SyFy flick when it first aired, and caught it again today. It hasn't gotten any better with time. The title of the film is a bit misleading, because until the last 10 minutes, the title creature is actually a wraith, a hooded figure that can swoop down from the sky and is impervious to bullets. Someone here said the creature more closely resembled one of the wraiths from "Lord of the Rings," and I concur. Having said that, I acknowledge in the closing minutes, the creature is in fact revealed to be a goblin, although it is about about three times the size of any previous movie goblin. It's more like the Incredible Hulk size-wise. Periodically, this creature comes looking for babies to eat, in a small backwoods community. The acting is par for the course for this type of no-budget production and the CGI is typical SyFy level. In fact, this goblin ends up looking a lot like something from "Gremlins," only on a much larger scale. Nothing much going on here that we haven't seen before, and totally devoid of any scares.
