"They call me Dick, but you can call me... Dick."
Jonathan Graves (Peter Liapis) a young man, unaware of the powerful gift that he has been "blessed" with and whom along with his girlfriend is about to move into an old family mansion, which he has just inherit. And to celebrate this rare occasion, Jonathan decides to gather around all of his friends for a good time. However, things end up going way out of hand, when the host suddenly decides to throw a little ceremony, and one where they are to be visited by a bunch of strange looking, small and evil demonic creatures from the other side, better known as the Ghoulies!
Ok, not exactly the cream of the crop when it comes to 80s horror franchise, however I do have soft spot for these kind of Charles Band/Full Moon Productions cheesy, fun filled b-movies, and I actually had a much more fun time watching the first one (1984) than other b-movie "classics" such as the Trolls movies.
The acting is goofy as hell, but it is a kind of party feel-good vibe to them, specially the first film and which features many of the sterotypical characters in horror films.
Michael Des Barres delivers a fun baddie role, while we also meet up with Jack Nance and the beautiful Mariska Hargitay in this cheesy low-budget Charles Band title.
I enjoyed the first and the third film, while the second one, however did not go down all that good (with me), and I have still not seen the fourth film, but if you like your 80s horror with a lot of cheese, this movie just might be worthy a go or two.
