"Goblin," a 2020 film directed by Chris Lee and featuring a screenplay by Rosa Parnake, is an indie horror film that combines elements of psychological suspense and supernatural horror. The story revolves around a family who, after the death of their father, retreats to a secluded cabin in the woods for a fresh start. However, they soon find themselves confronting eerie and unexplained occurrences that seem to be linked to a malevolent force lurking in the nearby forest. Ashley Rene, Joe Cummings, and Houston Towe deliver compelling performances that capture the escalating tension and fear that grip the family as they grapple with their increasingly terrifying circumstances. "Goblin" is noteworthy for its moody and atmospheric cinematography, creating a sense of foreboding and dread that pervades the film. It relies on suspense and psychological horror to build an unsettling and eerie ambiance. The narrative explores themes of grief, isolation, and the darkness that can reside within families, making it a thought-provoking and emotionally charged entry in the horror genre. Chris Lee's direction, coupled with the solid performances of the cast, contributes to the film's ability to keep audiences on edge, and it stands as an example of how smaller-budget horror films can effectively create an atmosphere of unease and fear.
