Synopsis: Weakling Kevin starts a new job as a night security guard for a once successful but now abandoned movie studio. For the past 30 years it's been up to Old Man McCreedy to watch the studio and the secrets that live within its walls, more precisely its film vault. For you see there be HOBGOBLINS in them there vaults and they are malevolent little aliens, with very non-expressive faces, that can make your wildest dreams come true for a price (your life). After a robbery gone awry they escape and McCreedy asks that the new security guard look for them. He tells them they are attracted to bright lights and luckily Kevin's friends are having a Much Music Video Dance Party at their house complete with a light show. They are attacked/tricked by the Hobgoblins and now Kevin has to face his fears and prove to his girlfriend that he is not the wimp she thinks he is before they all get killed.
Review: Obviously trying to cash in on the Gremlins, and to a lesser extent Ghoulies, fame Hobgoblins never really takes off like it should. All of the pieces are there for a self-proclaimed "Disasterpiece" but the direction the story is lame goes and the potential the little beasts have is never really fulfilled.
Carnage Count 1/5

Stupid, silly cash-in on the Gremlins fad, while managing to make so much less sense and still kick ***. That ending, man.

Great release and packaging. Movie itself wasn't for me, but I still appreciate that this is available in Blu-ray for fans to enjoy.

Gremlins is a great movie, this is not.

This the kinda cheese you catch on basic cable during a fit of insomnia and it gets you questioning whether or not you actually watched it or if you imagined it and you should really reset your sleep schedule.
Needless to say, if that's your vibe, find a way to watch this.
