Vegetarian goblins want to turn a family into plants so they can consume
them. This originally stood alone under the title ‘Goblins’, but an
understandably nervous film studio slapped it with a new title to cash
in on the moderate success of 1986 comedy-horror nonsense ‘
Troll’. There’s a reason why the ‘Troll 2’ fan documentary was titled ‘Best
Worst Movie’: this is like a compilation of all the best moments from a
century of cheapjack DIY exploitation nonsense. You want excruciating
dialogue, ‘Blue Peter’ special effects, nonsensical plotting, cardboard
sets, acting which ranges from bored to psychotic, and a wonderfully
self-serious ecological ‘subtext’? You got it!
