A young lad has been hired as a security guard for an old studio. However, on his shift he unleashes a bunch of creatures from a vault and they start going after the young security guard's friends. These creatures before killing their victims go into people's minds to fulfil their wildest fantasies, causing all sorts of mayhem.
Hobgoblins is a movie that's self-aware that it's b-movie entertainment. All the characters besides the protagonist are dumb stereotypical teenagers, however, the filmmakers go to the next level by having them in ridiculous and unrealistic situations.
A scene that strikes me the most is a fight between the main boy and a guy who's just been out of army training. He's cocky and arrogant and he challenges the main boy to a fight, but this isn't no ordinary fight, it's a fight with gardening rakes! They just bang the rakes together until the military guy decides to take a hit on the boy. The girls then cheer on the arrogant military dude and after want to have sex with him. It's scenes like these that solidify the movies logic and well... it's utterly hilarious!
The creatures are very inspired by the Gremlins in not only their design but the concept of them running amuck. There were plenty of Gremlins rip offs in the eighties including the Critters, Ghoulies and Munchies. However, Hobgoblins has to take the prize for the most bizarre small creatures running amuck movie.
If you watch this knowing about the ludicrous nature of this movie, then you will be in for a treat!
