Ghoulies Go to College

Charles Band's Ghoulies are back and this time they are plopped into an 80s style college sex comedy, meaning imagine if a bunch of Gremlins or Critters were dropped into "Revenge of the Nerds" or "Porky's." Competing frats are vying for the tinfoil crown in their annual prank war, much to the consternation fo uptight professor (and genre icon) Kevin McCarthy ("Invasion of the Body Snatcher" "Piranha" "Innerspace"). McCarthy finds a mysterious comic book and reads cryptic ancient passages from the tome, which unleashed the titular Ghoulies upon the unwitting college students and staff. This entry in the series is sadly missing the stop motion Ghoulies of the first two films, but I did still enjoy the old school puppet effects. The film was also more broadly comedic, particularly in giving the Ghoulies voices so they could deliver cheesy horror themed one-liners. "Ghoulies Go to College" is nothing brilliant, but it makes to pretensions about what it is, so if you enjoy the horror sub genre of little things attacking large things (i.e. everything from "Attack of the Puppet People" to "Troll" to "Puppet Master" to "Child's Play"), which I am most certainly a fan of, you will likely enjoy the silliness of "Ghoulies Go to College," which also feature the film debut of Matthew "Scream" Lillard, and supporting roles by Jason Scott Lee, Marcia Wallace, and Kane Hodder.

I can't believe this was written by the co-writer of the origanal Ghoulies!First off,they care more about the nudity more than the story,horror,or even violence!And who's been giving the Ghoulies english lessons?They couldn't talk in one or two,so why now?The fact they couldn't talk gave them more of a cute side,even though they were killers!They only had about two death scenes that were so darn retarded!First,a guy getting flushed down the toilet,and a woman having her toung wrapped around her?And the end boss(Every Ghoulies has an end boss)is the worst I ever saw!Maybe if this guy got the other co-writer of one,or if this guy had the sense he had when he helped write one,this movie be good.Thank god he didn,t write one or two on his own,!

I don't know why I read someone saying this movie was worst than the first two in the series... those movies were pretty damn borring and stale, and not serios enough to be scarey, funny, or watchable. This movie is much better, combining the sort of rip-off silly hijinx of Gremlins that Ghoulies truly is with some of the better rip-off silly hijinx of Animal House. It's the best in the series, bar none, and pretty damn fun to watch.

The series is now in full comedy territory as the creatures can now talk and have pretty much become the three stooges. As figured this thing is full of juvenile horny fart joke humor and none of it is remotely funny. The only three things here of merit is Kevin McCarthy, the odd Ghoulie creature he morphs into at the end, and how so early 90s this is.

So our favorite Toilet-dwelling Imps are back... this time at a college where they are in the middle of a Frat Prank war after being summoned by an angry professor.

And despite having a pretty good cast, it isn't really that funny or scary. The puppets have a bunch of dialog in this one, unlike previous entries where they were merely mute monsters.

Not really worth the watch.
