Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
bowmanblue You normally think of cinematic greats such as the Godfather 2, Terminator 2, Empire Strikes Back and Aliens as 'superior' sequels. Not many people ever mention the eighties horror 'Ghoulies 2' in the same breath as any of the affore-mentioned films. However, it is head and shoulders about its predecessor. Although, that's not saying much.The original was about a wannabe sorcerer who conjured up a load of evil little critters, aka, 'ghoulies' only to have them turn on him. Sadly, the first film centred on the – pretty bland – humans, whereas the real stars of the show were the nasty little puppets who terrorised people. I'm guessing this was more to do with budget constraints, but, this time round, they seem to have learned from their mistakes. The ghoulies are the stars.They're in it pretty much all the way through. Yes, the human characters are still pretty bland, but at least you don't really notice when the monsters get going. You could naturally pick faults in the film by saying how the ghoulies are about two feet tall and would probably find it difficult to actually hurt someone (let alone savage them to death), but we'll just skip that one and assume they are capable of killing tonnes of people.It's hardly scary. There's not an awful lot of tension of scares in it (unless you're that afraid of rubbery-looking monsters) and you have to majorly suspend your disbelief to imagine that creatures can walk around a packed fairground and not be seen until it suits the script's needs. But, if you like cheesy eighties horror/monster movies, then give this one a go (and ignore the sequels – the series truly peaks here – and that's saying something!).
Critters1986 I've got to say this is way better then the first one. The Ghoulies actually kill people and cause mayhem. And instead of the Ghoulies goofing around they kill people, good for ghoulies 2. Anyway Ghoulies 2 is about two people who are driving a truck called 'Satan's den' as the Ghoulies get stowed away. Later the Ghoulies turn up at a carnival place as they start killing people in Satan's den. Soon a guy summons a giant ghoulie to kill all the other Ghoulies. In the end there was one Ghoulie left as Ghoulies 3 come three years later. I think this movie is pretty good because its better then the first, they thought through this movie really well and they kill people. So I give Ghoulies 2 ***out of *****
kclipper Believe it or not, this is actually an improvement over the original 'Ghoulies', offering likable and sympathetic characters and a coherent plot-line, not to mention some PG-13 thrills and gore. Folks at the Hardin Family Carnival are risking termination of their acts due to bottom-line business unless they improve the line-up. The "ghoulies" from the 1st gig crash the party, and things start picking up, at least until they start making the show a little too scary by murdering the patrons.By now you know what to expect from producer, Charles Band's inept series, featuring a little stop-motion animation to liven up the otherwise hokey puppets and a dash of characterization, such as Royal Dano as the "town drunk" and Phil Fondacaro in his usual bit. It's still laughable and contrived, but it still stands the test of time for fans of typically campy 1980s cheesiness.
Aaron1375 Nothing great here a sequel to the rather bad, but rather successful Gremlin clone has a better setting than the original and it does not have that stupid satanic guy at the end showing up and trying to upstage the reason people actually flocked to see the first one the Ghoulies. This movie has the main setting as a carnival and that adds a bit to this one that was not present in the rather drab first movie. Still, the movie is not good and it is still a very inferior Gremlin clone. I rate Critters higher than this one as far as copycat franchises and Munchies and that Hobgoblins are worse than even this one. This movie and its predecessor could have been a bit better, but both have the problem of not seeming to know what movie they would like to be, a comedy type movie or a dark satanic set of horror movies. Trying to be both makes it fail rather badly at both genres making them both really bad movies. This one did not have the success of the first film at the theater as the first one took in thirty-five million which is rather staggering considering how bad it was. This one must have had limited success on VHS as it would spawn yet another sequel which I thankfully did not see.
