Plot: This pedantic sequel to Empire Pictures' less-than-original Ghoulies was released directly to video and summarily slipped into oblivion. At the outset of this one, the title creatures -- rubbery puppets originally conceived as cut-rate Gremlins lookalikes -- are shanghaied by a priest who intends to exterminate them, but they manage to escape to a low-rent carnival. There they take up residence in Satan's Den, a foundering, old-fashioned haunted house attraction run by Royal Dano, who fears he may lose ownership of the show due to sagging attendance. The presence of the ghoulies at first gives business a much-needed boost ... until the slimy little buggers start dining on the patrons. Despite some enhancements in the lackluster monster effects (by John Buechler, who's done better work elsewhere) and clever stop-motion animation by David Allen, this film is just as pointless as its predecessor. There is, however, one memorable scene, which makes good on the promise of the first film's ad campaign -- which featured one of the reptilian critters leaping from a toilet bowl, accompanied by the tagline They'll get you in the end! ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide

Obviously, the creators of "Ghoulies II" were not interested in making a horror/scary movie. Just take a look at that stupid big ghoulie-creature toward the end of the movie, and see what I mean...it looks so ridiculous, it's almost like something out of a spongebob cartoon. I mean what are these things, deformed gremlin rejects??? Besides that, this movie simply has no redeeming qualities to it. The acting is absolutely atrocious in this piece of trash, and I do not know what the director and screenwriters were smoking when they decided to make this garbage, but, suffice it to say, they did not succeed in making a horror movie. "Ghoulies II" is not even one of those movies that it is so bad that it makes you laugh...this movie just makes you want to cry because you spent an hour and a half of your life watching a piece of rubbish. There's really nothing else to say about this flick except that it sucks.

Wonderful Family Movie
Added 3/24/2004

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.

Added 5/31/2003

GHOULIES 2 is better than parts 1 and 4 it has the toilet monsters taking revenge on Larry and Ned's carnival,but spending time in a haunted house making the costumers laugh at what the monsters do,but at the end the action begins.Rated PG-13 or R.

Ghouliemania!!!

Ghoulies,Ghoulies,Ghoulies! I love those little toilet goblins. This movie was fantastic! The best is hearing the crowd's reaction to the kid's description of the rat-bat ghoulie; "Man, I love that stuff!" "Ya, that's terrific!". Other precious moments arise in every scene where the rebelious teen frolics and head-bangs to his "tunes". A classic. A sheer treasure. Fun for the whole family. Rent to Own!
