Goblin

About This Movie

Goblin (2010) is a strange little horror flick that really leans into the darker aspects of Halloween lore. The atmosphere is thick and the pacing has this unsettling rhythm, like a deep woods heartbeat that quickens with each scene. The goblin itself is a blend of practical effects and a bit of CGI that feels dated, but there’s something about the way it haunts this small hamlet that really works. It’s raw and visceral, capturing that primal fear of losing something innocent. The performances are a mixed bag, but there’s an earnestness that adds to the overall dread. Definitely something that stands out in the indie horror scene, not for everyone but intriguing for collectors who appreciate the flawed yet ambitious approach to genre filmmaking.
