Goblin Man of Norway Review

Ok, when I first heard about this small documentary I heard it from those guys over at The Movie Blog. This Documentary is based on probably the greatest find in the history of the human race. It was playing at the the Toronto After Dark Film Festival. It focuses around a group of people who discovered it under the ice of Norway. This gives me a whole new understanding (and confusion) about Norse Mythology.

To watch this chilling dockumentary click HERE.

I have to bring this up (And, I know, a lot of people will argue with me on this discussion) Yes! They did use this mechanical machine in the game Too Human along with the idea that if the human race used this technology to create better and more advanced weaponry and age regressing then it will all be fine until the thing you used to create these wonderful new advancements goes on a rampage killing thousands and then replicates. So then you have to go and destory these new threats.
All-in-all those people who believe that turning it on and creating new things for humans, are all idiots and will be the first ones to be killed.

Is The Goblin-Man of Norway Real?

The answer of course is no. Unless by real you mean a really a well done hoax meant to increase excitement about a video game for XBox titled Too Human. The Goblin-Man of Norway is said to have been made in 1999 and is somehow connected to the Norwegian Film Committee. Suspiciously Goblin-Man of Norway is the only thing on the site. Even more suspiciously a whois search of norwegianfilmcommittee.org reveals that the domain was created on Feb 14, 2008 and is set to expire in only one year. What makes this suspicious is that the site claims the film is from 1999. Goblin-Man of Norway GoofBut the biggest goof is that there is a Toyota Prius in the driveway of “Rob Niosi” the “self-proclaimed ‘Goblin Man enthusiast’” which is exceptional considering the model of Prius hadn’t been introduced until 2004. Even more damning is the location of the server— Canada, where the game developer, Silicon Knights, is located. Taking all the above into consideration along with the fact that the film’s director “Howard Byrackk” has no bio or credits on IMDB or Wikipedia.

The “film” is trying to build a mythology around the game. The developers are claiming it is the opposite of course (saying the game is built around the film) to make things interesting. An interesting marketing campaign, but that is all it is.

It's very important to do full research of a subject before making any accusations of its true nature - whether truth or fiction.
