A story about marital abuse, a dog named Shnoopsie, a friendly little fat goblin, and lack of color correction.

Listen in as me and listener and first-time guest, Chris, chat about this little slice of indie film ambition.

Directed by first-timer Chris Lee and written by first-timer Rosa Parnake, Film Threat called the film "as indie as it gets," while Tales of Terror said the film "has surprises up its sleeves that redeem the weaker moments." Did they watch the same film I did?

It tells the story of Sara as she moves to a new home in the suburbs with her son, Sam, and her abusive husband and douchebag stepson, Danny and Danny Jr. respectively, only to find that there is a creature lurking about eating dogs and people. Their enigmatic and (questionably) Danish neighbor Elias pops in to provide some much needed exposition about the history and presence of the creature — a goblin. Danny gets drunk, Danny Jr. listens to death metal, Sam draws creepy things, and Sara tries to navigate it all.

The film is currently available on Amazon Prime, Plex, and Tubi.
