Reviews:

Almost seems like someone had an idea for a bland cultist horror flick script, but was told “Gremlins are big, you gotta put some little dudes in this!”, so they wrote in a couple of midgets, were subsequently told that didn’t count, so wrote in some slimy puppets, but forgot to get rid of the bit they’d written about the midgets, and somehow made their bland idea straight-up bad. This came out the same years as _Gremlins_ though, so I have no idea how it was allowed to happen.

_Final rating:★½: – Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible._

Not enough Ghoulies!!

If the cover of your movie has a creature popping out of toilet. I your movie, you better have a creature popping out of a toilet. It’s Chekhov’s gun. There was no ghoulie that ever popped out of a toilet. I was waiting the entire movie for a puppet to pop out of a toilet, and never got it!

Aside from that this movie is still pretty bad. The main actor has some weird green eyes that glow when he “invokes” them (I guess). I don’t really know, because they don’t explain it, and they show up when he is “more” menacing than he normally is. I also didn’t understand why they had to wear sunglasses towards the end. He could turn his weird green eyes off when he wanted. He didn’t need the sun glasses.
I also didn’t get why the main character decided he had to quit school to clean up a house. Why wouldn’t you just clean up the house after school??? It didn’t make any sense.

The movie is filled with pretty subpar acting. For some reason a female costar that seems like she was already in her fifties, but her actual age hadn’t caught up to her yet.

The ghoulies were the best part, but you only see them for maybe, maybe, 10 minutes out of the whole movie.

There were also these two dwarves that showed up for no real reason except to drink some liquid, and fight against their original master (maybe?)

Puppets with teeth
A surprise hit in the horror film-drenched 1980s that spawned several sequels, GHOULIES was one ii a long line of puppet movies from the old Empire Pictures, the same folks who would soon bring us RE-ANIMATOR. In GHOULIES, a young man moves into an old mansion and before you know it, he is attempting to conjure up a bunch of hellish critters to do his bidding. Soon enough, he has them going after his enemies. The ghoulies themselves are hand puppets that look pretty ferocious for hand puppets. The conjurer, played by an insufferable actor named Peter Liapus, has been possessed by a dark spirit that resides in the old house. A little too much time is spent on the guy and his conjuring, but once the ghoulies get going, watch out! This comedy horror film stands out among many similar flicks from that era. It was obviously inspired by GREMLINS, but in the end it in no way resembles that now-forgotten classic. Worth a look if you can buy the idea of puppet monsters. PUPPETMASTER had the same theme and look, and was also an Empire Pictures job, if I am not mistaken.

Bad. Just bad…
A baby boy, Jonathan, is saved from a sacrifice, and years later he inherits the very house where he was to be sacrificed. For some reason, he becomes obsessed with doing rituals and conjuring spirits. And so the Ghoulies arrive – horrible little creatures straight out of hell (ugly in design as well!). By Jonathan’s lack of reaction to these creatures, one can only assume he was never an ordinary child, but a wizard – or demon of some sort – instead.

Call it a darker ‘Gremlins’ if you will (also released in 1984), but ‘Ghoulies’ really is a terrible film. The visuals are typical of a bad B-movie, and the acting also wasn’t all that great, except maybe Lisa Pelikan as Rebecca, the poor girl who has to endure Jonathan’s obsession with the occult.

As the film progressed, it got worse…and worse… until it was just plain stupid. There was nothing scary here. It wasn’t even good for a laugh – not even at how bad it is… ‘Ghoulies’ is a terrible film with an absolutely pathetic climax. Not worth it. Rather watch the far more enjoyable and superior ‘Gremlins’.

Would I watch it again? Most definitely NOT.
