Goblin

About This Movie

Goblin is a haunting exploration of grief set in the gritty backdrop of 90s Portland, particularly in a place locals call Felony Flats. The film skillfully contrasts the reactions of two sisters as they navigate their mother’s death—one sinks into a world of despair while the other clings to hope. The pacing's deliberately slow, which amplifies the atmosphere of loss and tension, pulling you into their emotional struggle. It captures the essence of that time and place with a raw authenticity. The performances feel genuine, especially in those quiet moments that linger after dialogue ends, and the practical effects add a layer of realism that complements the somber tone. It’s a distinctive piece that resonates with anyone familiar with navigating loss and familial complexities.
