Summary: More B-Movie goodness
Review: Ghoulies 2... what can I saw about ghoulies 2.. well I own this movie! This is the height of good bad movies, this movie stars some people I'm sure you've seen before.. you just don't know they're names.. Like the midget.. I've seen him somewhere.. Thats right! this movie has a midget in it, not only that, but this midget runs the whole horror ride. The movie revolves around a down on they're luck Horror ride entertainers who are going bankrupt, an old man, his grand son, a midget and some other people that arent important, then theres the evil money guy and the love interest.. One night, kids go into the haunted house expecting it to be boring but run into some tiny little demons, they think they are rats. Now.. remember the makers of this movie tried to make it a serious movie.. I had to tell you that before I say this, the demons put on a show for the crowd as the crowd chants "rats! rats!" and then the demons high five each other... that was great!! :) but it's not all fun and games, people start to die and dissapear.. and the old man thinks it's his fault.. lots of story line fallows and some death scenes.. Now.. I found this movie quite entertaining, but if your not a B-Movie fan such as myself, give it a rent first.. this movie is really funny.. but its not supposed to be.. the puppets are pretty cool looking. As I write this review, I see that they've made a 4th one.. god help us all.. Go out and buy/rent it now!!!

Summary: Wonderful Family Movie
Review: If your father hasn't accidentally taken you to a movie recently, I highly recommend he takes you to see Ghoulies II. Or, as I like to refer to it Ghoulies vs. Carnies. The movie stars no other than "that guy" and Oates (my father asked if it was Lionel Richie) as a foppish dandy. Throughout the movie, carnival goers are terrorized by a toilet dwelling ghoulie, what appears to be a flying caelacanth, a bukkake rat ghoulie, and a cat ghoulie with tourette's. At no point do the Rat and Cat Ghoulie fight, they've learned to coexist peacefully despite eachother's shortcomings. The effects are a wonderful display from the geniuses at Thunderbirds, and Rankin and Bass. Everyone go find your Boglins. I know you've got one somewhere.

Summary: Not bad, the ghoulies are fun little monsters
Review: This is a pretty good movie. Oh, it's on the B-movie side of films but the ghoulies are fun. In this film you actually get more from the actors than in most movies like this. This movie is very similar to Troll ( 1986 ) and it was made by the same exact people. There was a film called Ghoulies that came out before this , but in that movie the ghoulies were actually always in the backround. The first Ghoulies was more about witchcraft and spells, not too much about the title creatures. I hated it. In this one they had a much better budget, the ghoulies have way more screen time, and they used some cool effects to bring these little likable monsters to life. There are plenty shots of the Ghoulies as Puppets, but these puppets are very well done and they give the Ghoulies there own unique personality. There is also some stop-motion animation shots of these creatures as well. The animation models are very well sculped and well animated. The Puppet Ghoulies were created by John Buechler; the stop-motion animation was handled by master David Allen. Great for people who love " little monster " movies.

Summary: Ghoulies 2
Review: Warning! Before even thinking on purchasing this product read the following. If like me you grew up mostly in the 80's and loved films like these you might be interested to know that this title is cut!!!, and the sound and picture quality are below average at best. This may sound harsh but if you have seen the quality of Fright Night, what was released in the same year and is also a B-Movie you will know what they could have done with this title. Better off buying the video for 2.99.
