Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Michael_Elliott Ghoulies Go to College (1991) * 1/2 (out of 4) Professor Ragnar (Kevin McCarthy) turns out to be a sick, evil man and sure enough he sets loose the ghoulies on a college campus. It doesn't take long for the "cool" kids to come under attack and they must fight back.GHOULIES GO TO COLLEGE was the third film in the series and I must say that it came so, so close to actually being a good movie. In fact, this direct-to-video cheapie should have been a much better movie and it could have been had the filmmakers simply did a couple things different, which I'll get to in a bit. As far as the film goes, well, the entire series really wasn't much to write about but at least director John Carl Buechler turned this into a R-rated film aimed more at adults.This third film offers up a lot more nudity, a little more blood and it's clear that they were aiming the picture at horror nerds who were renting these type of low-budget movies on VHS back in the day. I really liked the fact that they tried to punch things up a bit but the majority of the adult nature comes from non-stop nudity that is running throughout the picture. Hey, there's nothing wrong with nudity, now is there? The women are all attractive and the monster costumes are good for what they are. With Buechler behind the effects one wishes that there was a bit more gore.The biggest issue with this film is certainly the screenplay as all of the characters are quite annoying. This film goes for a campy, obnoxious teenager thing and it just failed completely because you hate all of the teen characters and you really just want them to die off. They're some of the most annoying characters that you're ever going to see and there are just too many of them. All of them dreadfully annoying and after a while it just eats at you. I'd also argue that the 94-minute running time was way too long for this type of film.With that said, Buechler does a nice job in the directing department and McCarthy is good in the lead role. He's certainly a lot of fun here and it's nice seeing someone like him show up in a movie like this. As I said, GHOULIES GOES TO COLLEGE isn't a good movie but had the characters been less annoying and had the picture run a bit less, it could have been much more entertaining.

Harriet Deltubbo There's something for everyone here. I love this movie, which is hilarious! A college teacher brings the little creatures back to his campus, where they proceed to terrorize the faculty and students. I thought this film was fantastic in some ways and terrible in others. Some of the dialog is a bit lost on US audiences, but still some hilarious lines. From an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose, so I can accept them. This film is worthy of all the hopes you have. I hope to see this one again really soon, and for that reason I give it 7 out of 10.

utgard14 Lame "comedy" entry in the poor Ghoulies series with some notable casting. There's a Revenge of the Nerds sequel vibe to it and that's not a compliment. College professor Kevin McCarthy summons the Ghoulies this time. It's prank week at the college and literally every male in this movie is a complete douchebag. In addition to genre vet Kevin McCarthy, there's a young and very pretty Eva La Rue, Jason Scott Lee as a nerd (!), and Matthew Lillard in his film debut. There's a few other familiar faces but nobody important. The lead character is a guy named Skip played by an actor time has forgotten. This is a terrible excuse for a movie. Cheap, unfunny, certainly not scary...it's just abysmal.

Aaron1375 I got this film on a collection of various other horror films, which is the only reason I viewed it. Before watching this one, the only film that was good to me was "The Unholy". After watching this one, it is still "The Unholy". This one is about what one expects from a bad series of films that started out successfully, not because it had a good product, but rather because it came out on the heels of Gremlins and featured little creatures. The first film, while pretty bad, actually grossed a very impressive 35 million back in 1985 (that is a lot) and thus the sequels would be made and be even worse than the first film. The second was completely forgettable and I am guessing, after a couple of weeks, this one too, will escape my mind.The story, of course, has nothing really to do with the first two films. So, on the plus side, one does not have to watch the previous two films to enjoy this one...though, I doubt many will find any enjoyment in this movie. It takes place on a campus, of course, and on said campus it is prank week. Two fraternities are fighting it out to determine who is the king of pranks. This week is particularly bothersome for the humanities professor and he will somehow accidentally raise the Ghoulies from the depths of a toilet to cause even more mayhem. Meanwhile, at this university doing pranks is cooler than having sex, super attractive blond nymphos can't seem to find anyone who want to have sex with them and an idiot tries to win back a girl who dumps him after he forgets one date to be with the leader of the rival fraternity.The first Ghoulie film had a bit of comedy in it, but it had more of a horror atmosphere. This one removes 99 percent of the horror and is basically a comedy. That is pretty much why it fails as the humor does not work. It is like one of those teen sex comedies of the era, where nearly all the humor fails and the only thing to keep one watching is seeing the attractive girls go topless from time to time. The Ghoulies are limited to three this time, but at least they put some effort into making them look like actual creatures that moved and stuff. That is something the dreadful Hobgoblins cannot boast as in that one the monsters were hand puppet plush toys. Some good effects though and some good nudity do not save this film enough as it seems like it runs too long and relies to much on unfunny gags.So, this film is bad, but that is not surprising in the least. It is surprising to see the late Marcia Wallace play a small role in the film and to see the bad guy from Innerspace and a ton of other films in this one. It basically plays out like a horrid "Animal House" ripoff film mixed with the horrid Gremlin knockoff franchise. It does not work in the least, and it does not make sense that a college guy would pass on a girl that is super attractive and wants some!
