Goblin

Worst acting I've ever seen. No one in this movie has a normal conversation. Every time The Goblin eats someone it looks like they're 69ing and I'm pretty sure the mom is preggo with it's child at the end. Hilarious but unintentionally.

This is one hell of a mess and was the longest 68 minutes of my life. Terrible acting efforts, however, Joe Cummings managed to pull off his character. I wanted to punch the screen at my frustration at watching this. David Mason, wtf, has he never acted before, or even had any social interaction with anybody. Ashley Rene is well fit and kept my anger from boiling over into screen violence. Her acting ability might improve with experience. 1 star for the movie, Ashley Rene gets the other star. Expect nothing from this movie, put it on, walk out of the room, pop in after 11 minutes, hang around for about 20 seconds, leave again. You are safe to return after another 57 minutes.

Yep, it's a shoe-string budget. Yes, the CGI is pretty crap, but at least it's kept to a minimum. Though played straight, it's darkly funny, and I believe intentionally so. I'd go so far as to say that this is not really a horror film at all, except for the dysfunctional family depicted. The cast were pretty good; the antagonists made you hate them, the lead actress was sympathetic and easy on the eyes, and the kid playing her son was cute as hell. I can only guess that the negative reviews/ratings were from folks who were expecting a different kind of film and/or didn't get the humor. This is a quirky little film whose strengths outweigh its weaknesses, and is worth a watch.

Ignoring the awful cinematography, acting, writing and directing, the thing that truly upset me was the animal abuse. There was a dog "acting" in this movie, but some of the squeals and very scared sounds that the dog made sounded much too real and that indicates that the dog was abused during the filming of this movie. It's disgusting and absolutely horrendous. That dog deserves better.

The acting was a little bit off. So was the editing for the Goblin. It looked like an instagram filter you put on the ground. The concept of the movie was pretty good though. Just the acting threw me off. Overall, it was okay.
