Jens B 🎃 Gremlins > Critters >>> Ghoulies >>>>>>> Hobgoblins 🧯 Basically, it's nothing more than Sesame Street on crack with a dash of Looney Tunes, which absolutely doesn't mean that a single second of this movie is boring. For the non-existent budget, there are also plenty of explosions and even a fire stunt. However, that doesn't mean there's even a hint of quality hidden anywhere in these 90 minutes. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review xpig332 B A 2 hour lecture on aphid biology would've been more interesting & entertaining! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/24 Full Review Alexander B There were some funny moments but I don't know if they were all intentional. Aside from that it was a terrible rip off of Gremlins and not worth watching. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/24/23 Full Review joe m Even when watching with the biting commentary of MST3K, it still couldn't make the stinker "Hobgoblins" anything close to 1 star. Avoid at all cost! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I ACTUALLY GIVE THIS FILM ZERO STARS! This is one of the worst movies ever made in my opinion. Everything about this movie is bad. Writing is lazy, phony acting, poor cinematography, a rip-off of Gremlins, awful visual effects, and a total snore fest. ZERO out of FIVE STARS! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Sweet baby Jesus! What kind of monstrosity is this?! Seriously... I don't know what I was thinking as a kid, this thing is an abortion. I mean, sure there's some fun to be had at how gonzo and stupid it is, but it's little more than the main actors running around a handful of locations, while crew members shake dolls at them.
