Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
GL84 Working at their friends' carnival, two friends Spookhouse Show act is found to be successful when diminutive, rat-like creatures invade the carnival forcing them to use the only weapon at their disposal to combat the creatures.There's a lot to like about this as it turned out to be a superior sequel. What really works well in this one is the increase of screen- time here for the creatures, which is a fixed problem from the first one. Starting with the chase through the forest and arriving at the auto-yard stalking in here, there's plenty to like here as other action scenes here make this one so much fun. There's an incredibly fun introductory scene of the creatures here at the carnival where they appear in the attraction to the bewilderment of the guests on the ride causing all sorts of havoc with the true ride which is quite cheesy fun throughout here which follows up the scenes around the carnival. Seeing the creatures going around the different booths, attractions and meeting up with the patrons here while staying incognito is a lot of fun seeing how this one manages to interject the goofy fun of the creatures against the atmosphere of the carnival which is a healthy contrast. This is carried over into the film's highlight scenes where the massive version of the creature runs wild at the carnival and begins attacking both the concession stands as well as other patrons and forcing the group to fight off the beast using a variety of impressive and enjoyable tactics, generating a lot of action and a nice bit of cheese here with how the finale plays out. Along with the overall impressive look of the creatures, the fact that there's a rather healthy body count here that does lead into the film's few small problems here. This is the fact that there's not a great deal of blood or gore here in the kills, as despite the large body count there's a severely lacking amount here beyond a few scratches which would've helped this one quite a bit. As well, there's also the thread here about how good the business at the carnival is suddenly doing is confusingly dropped here, as the financial problems were so strongly hinted at in the first half that to drop it out of the film when that very problem is finally fixed makes no sense, nor does not following through on what is causing that specific incident despite how word-of-mouth is telling the authorities in charge. While the cheese might be something that turns off a few aren't into it, what really lowers this one is the rather bland and lifeless scenes here of this one really doing nothing while having fun at the carnival, as these are just boring, drawn-out and really not all that interesting showing the group not really doing anything in this section. All it does is make the film last longer than the original, and it's not that interesting due to that. Otherwise, this one was quite enjoyable.Rated R: Violence and Language.
Harriet Deltubbo A paper-thin plot: Ghoulies II picks up a short time after the first movie, a few of the little nasties stow away on an amusement park ride and bring big bucks to a dying fair. The creatures are mad after an attempt to kill them, so the creatures go on a rampage through the fairgrounds, ultimately leading to an explosive conclusion.Sounds corny? No matter what anyone says, this is utterly fantastic. I refuse to totally dismiss this, because I find it quite engaging, in a guilty pleasure sense. I have to say it blew me away! This might all sound corny, like a bad B-movie, but that is not the case. My rating: 7/10.
Roseybaby63 I just can't hate this movie. Seriously. It's a stupid, fun movie that's perfect for that moment when you're kinda bored and maybe a little stoned and have time to kill. It's a sequel to a not so great movie. The Ghoulies are back and in a carnival fun house. I was amused by the way other people thought the ghoulies were part of the attraction while witnessing actual killing and death. It does sort of show how society can become desensitized to violence. Kind of a lofty thought for this type of movie. The plot is rather simple and kind of lame, but still loads of fun IF you watch it in the right frame of mind. You have to know what to expect. This isn't an award winning movie, folks. You shouldn't really expect more than the movie offers. It is lots of fun and has some interesting deaths in it. I laughed at several parts. I especially liked the way it ended. I found it funny as hell. I wouldn't pay to see it, but if you can catch it on cable, give it a try.
Boba_Fett1138 Well, at least this movie was better than the first. This is because of the simple reason that this movie is so entertaining to watch. It doesn't try to impress but it just brings some simple and good B-movie horror fun! It must be also due to the movie its settings that this movie is such a fun one to watch. The entire movie is set at an amusement park.The Ghoulies are more like Gremlins in this movie. In the first movie they were only walking around without serving a real purpose. In this movie they are the heart and soul of the entire picture. They are causing some mayhem and each and every Ghoulie has a distinctive character of its own.It's a good thing the movie doesn't take itself too serious. It gives the movie a good campy feel and look over it. The movie is often being plain silly and it doesn't try to make sense or create a believable story. Something that the first "Ghoulies" movie didn't do. So really, this movie is surprisingly better and much more watchable than its predecessor.Perhaps the movie is being a bit too silly and not serious enough at times. This really goes at the expense of the movie its horror. I feel that as if this movie would had been more effective with its horror as well, this movie would had been an even better one to watch. The movie doesn't really have any scares or gore in it.Of course nothing of this movie really impresses. The acting and story-line are all weak and kept thin. Perhaps you have to be really into the genre to appreciate and enjoy this movie simply for what it is; some simple, fun entertainment!5/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
