Review: An MGM double feature, featuring the first two of four movies in the Ghoulies franchise. Ghoulies involves Johnathan Graves (Peter Liapis), a college student who inherits a family estate. When he finds black magic paraphenalia, he winds up conjruing up the title characters, as well as his long dead dad. Can he stop them? Ghoulies II involoves the operators of Satan's Den, a haunted house for a fair. When the ghoulies hitch a ride by hiding in Satan's Den, they bring big bucks to the fair, until Uncle Ned (Royal Dano) finds out they have killed a couple of the workers. Can he, his nephew Larry, and short actor Sir Nigel Pennywight (Phil Fondacaro) stop them? This also has a scene that delivers on the original's advertising campaign. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the bathroom....Both movies are low budget films by Charles Band, pre-dating Full Moon Pictures. The cats in both films do great jobs for what they are given. The direction is what you would expect for low budget films. Both films are shown in widescreen anamorphic formats, and look like they have been taken fresh from the lab. the sound on both is great sounding Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono. They are standard releases from MGM, with only trailers, but the low price warrants purchase for fans of the horror genre or MST3K. GHOULIES

Summary: One Good, One Bad
Review: Ghoulies (1985) ***1/2 (of ****) Strange film about a man (Peter Liapis) who inherits a house for his 23rd birthay. As soon as he moves in with his girlfriend, he is instantly shoved into a world of black magic, bringing to elves from the spirit world as well as a bunch of slimy monsters. Fun movie doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it's eerie and dark and entertaining. Rated PG-13 Ghoulies 2 (1987) *1/2 (of ****) Dreadful follow-up to the original GHOULIES finds the slimeballs wreaking havoc at a carnival. Pointless, stupid and weak in all areas, what makes it right higher than 0 stars is the (very few) chuckles it gets. Not recommended. Rated PG-13

Summary: Great B flicks but where's the music video?
Review: Ghoulies 1. Havent seen it in so long I forgot how cheesy it is. But that dont make it bad. I really enjoyed it again. Even though I didnt get the dvd from Amazon (I got it at Walmart) I still recommend getting it. Preferably through Amazon though. I really like the fact these two flicks are widescreen and their is trailers for each but the only dissapointment besides two sided discs is where the heck is the awesome music video by WASP. One of the best heavy metal bands in existence. They done Scream Until You Like It for the soundtrack which you can hear in the flick (part 2 that is). Unless the video plays after the credits or is an easter egg I cant seem to find it. Anyway 4 stars for both flicks and I agree with a few other reviewers that pt 2 is better.

Summary: Ghoulies VS Gremlins VS Critters VS Munchies VS Puppetmaster
Review: I can not understand what people see in Ghoulies 1 or 2?
The first one I found to be a complete snore fest, if the creatures themselves wernt in it I think you'd have the same movie. It seemed to be a movie with some odd demonic creatures not doing anything much.
The second one I could not get into at all, I think it was attempting to be funny, but it failed. It was completly stupid. From watchign it, I guess MGM figured if they tried to sell part 2 on it's own then it would never make any money, but by putting one and two on the same disc then there forced to buy it if they buy the first one.
Why wasnt part 3 included? Part 3 is released on DVD here in regioun 4 land, released by Magna. That was the best one, tho it wasnt much of a horror flick, it was funny as hell. Somehow the creatures can talk and are smart alec comedians running muck in a college university campus. MGM shouldve included all 3 films on the same disc.

Summary: Finally Released on DVD
Review: I give this movie a 5-star rating not because it was scary but because it is one of those cheesy-1980's films that you just have to watch.
To summarize the plot: Evil Satanic Sorcerer fails to sacrifice his own son to Lucifer so kills the mother instead by ripping her heart out and banishing the child. The Sorcerer dies a "horrible death" and somehow the son, Jonathan, learns that he has inherited the house.
Jonathan and his girlfriend, Rebecca, are both still in college. Jonathan drops out for a semester to fix up the house. In truth, he gets really obsessed with the black magick ritual books that he finds and decides to try them out. His eyes turn green, he calls up the ghoulies, a few subservient dwarfs, and even gets Rebecca to come back after she left him because of the black magick rituals.
Jonathan gets power hungry and performs a master ritual which accidentally raises his dad back to life. Incidentally, the evil sorcerer was buried in the yard.
Evil Sorcerer Dad kills all of Jonathan's friends and takes control of the ghoulies.
The Evil Sorcerer vows to take Jonathan's life but then the big twist!
You'll just have to buy this one to see the ending now, right?

Summary: Not as good as I expected but still awesome!
Review: Let me just start of by saying that the first one is a waste of time! I don't even want to get started with that one. The 2nd one however is awesome! it takes place at a fair, a haunted house to be more pacific, and sure enough the goulies are in there just waiting for people to come in. This movie says its PG-13 but it really should be rated R. just be awear of that.

Summary: Another excellent MGM Double Feature DVD!
Review: MGM has done an admirable job for this new Double Feature DVD. It contains both Ghoulies and Ghoulies 2, both presented in Animorphic Widescreen with their original theatrical trailers. The picture and sound are as good as we're ever going to see these two films on DVD. A great value, even if you only wish to buy it for one of the movies. GHOULIES was an early release from Charles Band and Empire Pictures, predating the later Full Moon Pictures. The budget was fairly low for the mid-1980's, but it is still an enjoyable late-night film. GHOULIES 2 was the sequel and probably had a little larger budget. It featured more talented actors (Royal Dano, Phil Fondacaro, Starr Andreeff, Sasha Jenson) and the Ghoulies are a little more animate than in the original movie. On a whole it is better than the original in many ways. There were two more later sequels (Parts 3 & 4) to the Ghoulies franchise...maybe they will also come to DVD someday soon.

Summary: Two Awsome Flicks
Review: These are two awsome films that mgm has put on one disk. Ghoulies 2 is a but better than Ghoulies. Anyway, the first one is so cheezy, it's a great 5 star in my book. The second is more of a low budget gore infested flick that is once again a 5 star movie in my book. The second should not be PG-13. It should be R no doubt about it. It is gory with nudity, sex and coarse language. Anyway, the first Ghoulies is about a young man who has inhareteda mansion. I curse was put on him and no one knows but his caretaker Wolfgang. Soon, the affects come in and the young man calls up the Ghoulies. Ghoulies are ugly little creatures that come out of water and the ground. But when the Ghoulies real master shows up when a party is going on, the Ghoulies go wild and eat everyone in sit. Ghoulies is a violent movie for PG-13 but than again R would be to high for it.
Ghoulies 2 is about the nasty looking demons who hitch a ride with a carnival. When the carnival sets up, the Ghoulies hide in a haunted house at the carnival. The haunted house is a spooky ride called Saten's Den, but it just got spookier since the Ghoulies arrive. When all the customers go into Saten's den, they ain't coming out. Ghoulies 2 is very violent for a PG-13 rating and should be R. But what can you do about.
So, two good low budget films that are great for parties. Get this dvd. It's worth every penny.
