this rip off of the 1984 hit gremlin be quite possibly the big train wreck of a movie ever make . even for a b grade movie and all other cheap horror movie on the same platform completely dwarf this movie in term of plot and acting and and goodness . it begin with a random old security guard and the young punky security guard whose name be of no importance . why . because a few minute into the film he walk into the forbidden safe and and be kill whilst live out his fantasy of be a rock star in a cheap pub . this be just an appetizer for the scat fill main course . the main character and kevin and struggle various time to prove himself a more than a total pussy . perhaps he succeed within the film and but to the audience he prove himself a nothing more than a bad actor . kevin get himself a job with the old security guard and and be guide through his security shift in the ( wait for it ) abandon studio lot . yes why bother make a set when you can just use the studio itself . back to the film . kevin somehow open the forbidden safe and release the hobgoblin . the hobgoblin force people to live out their wild fantasy and then kill them for some reason . they must be return before sunrise or else . or else what . exactly . other character include kevin amacho army friend nick and nick woman daphne whose character have no more substance than a bitch slut attitude and prostitute worthy outfit . there be kevin manipulative and reserve girlfriend amy and whose deepest desire be apparently to be a badly portray cher look alike with fishnet stocking with a pair of blue grandma underpants on top . don not ask me how that work . quite possibly the most entertaining character of all be kyle . how such group of friend be make be up for question . kyle be a perverted creep who can not go an hour without self stimulating . his hobby include call up sex chat line from other people house and most likely sniff underwear . the story unfold a the hero search for the hobgoblin represent knee high creature ( aka . hand puppet ) which and for some reason and attempt to travel no further than the border of the local neighborhood . each of the character eventually live out their wild fantasy which never have anything to do with have million of dollar . or the film have a big budget . warn spoiler ahead represent the twist at the end of this movie will leave the watcher wonder what . the hobgoblin be return to the safe by . their own free will . perhaps they lose patience wait for sunrise to wreak havoc and or perhaps the story writer get writer cramp and decide not to worry about the end . upon return to the safe and the old security guard reveal what he learn in the military and detonate explosive which destroy the safe and signal the end of the evil hobgoblin and the end of this roller coaster ride while well fit to a ride on an escalator . the sheer badness of this film be enough to send someone to tear . if you plan to watch it and i recommend a few alcoholic drink beforehand to take any serious consideration of the film out of mind .
