'The Goblin' to Earn Your Family's Love

It's a slow news night, so I might as well hit you with the following story. Visual-effects specialist Charles Gibson will make his bigscreen directing debut with the Geoff Rodkey-scripted family comedy with a horror spin The Goblin. The story revolves around a suburban family that moves into its new home only to find a curmudgeonly goblin who doesn't want them there. "It's about creating a goblin that will appeal to audiences of all ages," Williams said. Gibson won visual-effects Oscars for "Babe" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest." He performed visual effects and second unit directing on the "Pirates" franchise and "Terminator Salvation."

Hmm, kind of sounds a lot like Troll. Is this a remake of that or something new?

How can you remake the best movie ever made! :) I like the idea of family-oriented horror, I almost watch horror movies exclusively and most times, I don't think anyone in my family would want to watch Martyrs or Inside. A lot of Stephen Kings movies have that family feel. I'll be checkin this one out for sure.

Family-oriented horror used to be a big thing in the 80s. It's kinda a wonder why it died out, considering that in truth, horror does not discriminate, and it definitely is NOT exclusive to hot teenagers and college students! The perception of what horror is today is so small compared to the past. It used to be a widely diverse genre where people of different particular tastes could all find something they liked. So yeah, hope this is good, so it'll re-open the family horror sub-genre. It seems like, as of now, people think horror is strictly just splatterpunk, slashers and torture porn.
