Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

BA_Harrison Repetitive quips about chlorine; endless scenes of mullet-wearing jocks failing to shoot basketball hoops; a metal band who only play one tune and whose supposedly great singer seems to have forgotten his lyrics; a confused looking TV chat show host and a desperately unfunny comedian (played convincingly by a confused looking TV chat show host and a desperately unfunny comedian) exchanging crap one-liners; and a geek with a strange lower lip: this is just some of the inane garbage to be found in Ghoul School—quite simply, one of the lamest excuses for a horror comedy that I have ever had the misfortune to see (and I've seen quite a few).This dreadful film opens with a pair of losers busting their way into the basement of a school, where they try to force the janitor to reveal the whereabouts of.... err... well, actually, I have no idea what it is they are after, but they don't find it. After shooting the janitor for his lack of co-operation, the pair locate a hidden room in which they discover a control panel with two big buttons, one of which they decide to push; this releases chemicals into the school's water supply, turning anyone unfortunate enough to come in contact with the contaminated H20 into slavering, blue, pointy toothed monsters hungry for human flesh.Clearly aware of the clumsy, derivative, and totally nonsensical nature of his own poorly constructed script (a muddled blend of Return Of The Living Dead and Demons), writer/director Timothy O'Rawe doesn't waste any energy trying to deliver genuine laughs or scares, preferring instead to chance his luck with the 'let's make this so bad, it might get a cult following' route. The gamble doesn't pay off: this is so bad, it's unbearable, and is unlikely to find a following even amongst the craziest of horror fans.Avoid.

Woodyanders This uproariously atrocious piece of cheerfully cheap'n'chintzy low-budget horror splatter schlock has to be one of the funniest things I've had the pleasure to watch in quite some time. Granted, most of the humor is strictly of the unintentional kind, but it's still often sidesplitting just the same. A toxic chemical gets into the water supply at a New Jersey high school. A bunch of folks are transformed into fanged, growling, blue-skinned flesh-eating zombies who go on the rampage. Trapped inside the school with the ghouls are two irritating horror movie fanboy geeks and a severely talent-challenged wailing, roaring, head-banging heavy metal hair band. Boy, does this delightfully dreadful doozy possess all the right-so-utterly-wrong-they're-paradoxically-right schlock flick stuff to measure up as a real four-star gut-busting stinker: sloppy direction, a crude wafer-thin script, obnoxious foul-mouthed dialogue (the ridiculously excessive overuse of the almighty "f" bomb is downright mind-numbing), terrible acting, a tacky hum'n'shiver synthesizer score, cruddy make-up f/x, a hopelessly dated groovy-bumping rock soundtrack, laughably hokey rinky-dink over-the-top gross-out gore, and a horrendous abrupt ending. Poor Richard Bright (Al Neri in the "Godfather" features!) pops up as the jerky principal. Befuddled talk show host Joe Franklin and annoying comedian Jackie "the Joke Man" Martling briefly appear as themselves in an especially awful drawn-out sequence (Martling tells Franklin some of the worst, most groan-inducing and painfully unfunny jokes you never want to hear). Favorite line: "This is one very *beep*ed-up nightmare." Filmed in Wayne, New Jersey, where stuff like this happens all the time. A shamefully unsung should-be camp crap classic.

EdWont Definite Spoilers Ahead!When one thinks of strong female characters in cinema, one may think of Scarlet O'Hara, Ripley, or the lesbian from Boondock Saints. However, in this film, there exists another character, too often passed over, in the annals of strong female roles in film. I am, of course, referring to the role of Blade's girlfriend. I'm not sure what her name is...if they said it, I didn't pay attention. At any rate, her hair is a vibrant reddish-maroon: a mirror of the flame in her soul. She dresses in black from head to toe, spare a white bandanna wrapped around her leg. Is it a gang association? Unlikey. She is far too independent and rebellious a character to anchor herself down to any kind of affiliation. The exception, of course, lies in her unparalleled love for Blade, the lead singer of the Blood Sucking Ghouls. As a true illustration of how love conquers all, this punk-goth, in-her-late-30s rolling stone finally gathered some moss...moss meaning Blade...her boyfriend. It is in exploring this relationship that the director first commands respect for her. She makes it clear that she if she were in charge of the band, that that the band would be playing sold out venues, worldwide. I don't doubt it. Blade's amazing guitar ability (sometimes shredding when his hand isn't even on the strings or sometimes playing a variety of notes so fast that you would swear his right hand isn't moving)is only undermined by his poor ability as a business man. "I don't have a head for that," he would claim. But she knew that already. She let him know. Fierce. Cunning. She is the lion and the fox. Further into the movie, we see her risking her life to save the group by exploring a vent in the school. She goes it alone. She is offered a weapon. She declines. She doesn't need it. She is a women. She is the weapon. At the end of the film, we see her as the lone survivor. The last female standing. In her womanhood she has conquered death. Though her fate is uncertain, I have no doubts that she will overcome any obstacle. She is the the quintessential example of the strong female character. She is a goddess on earth. Best, EdWont

Bob-384 This movie is bad. Not the good kind of bad. But the really boring "let's stop the tape and see what's on basic cable" kind of bad.
