    Oh, this was bad...

    Well, I must admit that I had expected just a bit more than what "Goblin" turned out to be. I mean, at least I had hoped for a proper creature feature of sorts, but instead I was served a slow paced storyline with a horribly CGI animated goblin.

    One might hope that a movie such a the 2020 "Goblin" from writer Rosa Parnake and director Chris Lee would have turned out to be an interesting movie and a good addition to the creature feature genre, but that was most certainly not the case.

    The storyline in "Goblin" was just so generic it was boring to watch. And it didn't help much that the pacing of the movie was so incredibly slow. Nor did it help much that the dialogue was as horrible as the characters were one-dimensional. Yeah, it just wasn't the finest moment of cinema history here.

    For a horror movie, then "Goblin" was anything but scary. There was virtually nothing scary in the movie, unless you count really, really bad CGI as being scary. If so, then you're in for a treat. It puzzles me that movies with this level is dubious CGI still get to see the light of day in 2020.

    "Goblin" is a movie that you might as well give a very wide berth, because it was not entertaining, nor was it particularly enjoyable either. Yet, I managed to sit through the ordeal right up to the bitter end.

    My rating of "Goblin" is a mere two out of ten stars. You are best off spending your time, money and effort elsewhere, trust me.

    Certainly something...

    This is a posterchild of why you should not use CGI with a microbudget. It will almost inevitably come out looking cartoony and ridiculous. Combining that with a dark storyline about domestic abuse and over-the-top acting by the father and older son, you end up with almost constant tonal whiplash.

    It's the kind of bad movie you find yourself enjoying because it feels like everyone involved cared about what they were putting together. I've seen way too many films where it feels like everyone is just there for a paycheck, so this is refreshing in that regard.

    worst movie i've ever seen! I loved it!

    Words cant describe how horrible this movie is. The acting- terrible, the script- unrealistic, the cinematography- just bad. I loved this movie. I think i lost brain cells and was endangering my acting career by watching it. Im surprised such film could be produced. Had an amazing time watching it. Please watch this movie.

    ACTING

    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.

    A romantic tale

    I watched most of the film (had to fast forward through some of the parts though, because the acting was...clunky) but-the romantic development between the main actress and the goblin was heart wrenching. Romeo and Juliet can eat their heart out-these two made me laugh, cry, scream, pee-everything. I can't wait to read some fanfiction on the two. Might write some of my own. I hope that they both raise their child well together.
