Ghoulies Go to College

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.

I was a "principle extra" in this silly film ... It's more entertaining than that guy from Cleveland says... Worth a look... Was fun making it...

I watched this movie last night and I must say that it went into a comedy movie. There is just to much comedy in this movie that I laughed my ass off. The nudity in the film was all okay, but there is no blood I saw when somebody was killed (correct me if I'm wrong). 5 yr olds would find this movie funny. Ghoulies 3 didn't take this movie in a serious Horror movie direction. Parts 1 & 2 are okay but this movie sucked at times. I started getting annoyed how the ghoulies kept on with the comedy. This movie is great to watch if your drunk or if you want to laugh your ass off. I'd give this movie a **** out of ********** stars. ...... don't expect to be scared out of your pants unless you are week to horror movies.

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.

A group of little demons are summoned at a college campus and the creatures wreak havoc.

Despite being made in 1991 John Carl Buechler's Ghoulies III: Ghoulies Go to College reeks of the 1980s, when actors are cast younger than their roles, T & A, slapstick and frat shenanigans were in en vogue.

Played particularly for comedy, this instalment benefits from Ghoulies actually speaking and it's dark setting adds some much needed atmosphere to the campus.

Acting veteran Kevin McCarthy knows what he's making as Professor Ragnar. Hope Marie Carlton is notable. The rest of the cast are rang of familiar faces that handle the subject with Police Academy gusto, including lead Evan MacKenzie, Eva LaRue and Patrick Labyorteaux to name a few. It also features a few actors who went onto bigger films, Matthew Lillard, Jason Scott Lee and the late Stephen Lee.

The writers borrow from better similar prank films and a range of creature movies. It's low brow horror entertainment. The flawed practical special effects and production values are part of the fun, going unnoticed with sleight of hand with focus placed on the Ghoulies' jibber jabber and set ups. And yes, for fans Fish Ghoulie does indeed pop out of a toilet.

Overall, it zips along quickly enough not to overstay it's welcome. Watch with friends.
