Although this was an Ultra-Low Budget indie film, the Director did an amazing job with this. As another reviewer has already stated, it is very creepy and suspenseful which is something done masterfully by the Director. I have seen major budget films with A-list actors that did not have the draw in the plot nearly as much as this little Thriller gem holds and the accompanying soundtrack was also a precious bonus. I actually HAD TO KNOW what was going to happen next. With its odd sounds and eerie synth score, I was taken back to the glory days of 1980s late night cinema. Indie first time directors rarely achieve this caliber of film making out of the gate with pretty much no money at all, but Wyatt Michael surprises me with his debut, The Goblin. The boy actor, Robert Levey II gives a regularly stunning performance throughout the film in both singing talent and dramatic portrayal as the suspense eventually comes to a place where it can be sliced with a knife because of his torment. The female lead, Nicole Hargrove, makes the audience loathe her in a good way as she continuously bounces back and forth from caring mother to raving lunatic - a performance that seems to be made for her natural cold unsympathetic glare. I loved every minute of this film in that the Director gives us another rare glimpse into an art form nearly extinct now by using a real puppeteered creature in his film rather than another CGI trick. Being a fan of Jim Henson growing up as well as the original Star Wars films, you cannot beat a real puppet to play the bad guy. I thoroughly enjoyed The Goblin as it has all the earmarks of a great unique film created by true artists with storytelling at its finest. A fun spiral into madness that I highly recommend to even big budget filmmakers nowadays...they could learn a few things about what makes a film really memorable.
