for starter and hobgoblin try to ape the more successful gremlin . that bad enough but they do not even try to make anything that closely resemble a movie here . instead and it more like a bargain basement and everything must go clearance of embarrass scene and inappropriate sound fx and act as bland a unflavored tapioca and a script that take everything human hold sacred in their motion picture and throw em down the old tube aroo . the plot . grrrr . meddle kid track down gremlin like creature from movie lot before they kill people by project their fantasy . sound cool and do it . well and see that wall on the other side of your room . run right at it and top speed and face first . see and that be cool than this movie . you dare to doubt . quick and name something else one of the lead have be in other than this . what other script have the writer do since hobgoblin . name another rick sloane directoral effort . how many hobgoblin action figure do you have . see . thank you . i can not believe i take so long to write about such a horrible film . i would rather write about more important thing while like the separation of church and state and economic restructuring in europe and that kind of thing . but no and hobgoblins it be and it be bad bad like your grandparent wallpaper and bad a pink flamingo on your lawn and bad like underwear that say home of the whopper . and i think we will stop there . well and mike and the robot fight valiantly but try a they might and they can do only so much with hobgoblin before they realize that and yes and the director do need kick in the shin . real and real hard . one star for hobgoblin and seven star for the mst3k version .
