Review of Hobgoblins 2 (2009) by Senor C — 12 Jul 2009
Hobgoblins 2 is the long awaited (20 years!) sequel to the infamous 1988 cult classic that many dub one of the best worst movies in the world. This time, those pesky hobgoblins can appear when someone calls their names 3 times in a row, and instead of granting fantasies, these little creatures just exploit everyone's worst fears (lame).
It's up to 5 very kids who eerily resemble the 5 from the first film (not to mention they have the same names) as well as Old Man McCreedy (unfortunately not the same actor) whose been institutionalized every since blowing up the studio in the first film.
With the first film, there were plenty of moments that made me smile and even chuckle a bit, but all of that is lost on this incredibly stale and legitimately crappy film. Director Rick Sloane tries to recapture that magic again, but I think he tries so hard that he overshoots it and this film just becomes downright annoying.
The women are still written the same, which was kinda amusing, but nothing could really salvage this failed attempt at making another cult classic. Lame film that took forever to end; even at 89 minutes.
