Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

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!

Dagon Just based on the title alone you know it's bad - following you around like some kind of disease, always a threat and dangerous to your well- being. Due to my special abilities, however, I'm able to deter the effects that this film has on most of its viewers...motivational loss, extreme boredom, possibly even suicide - luckily I'm able to repel the more serious side-effects but I cannot stave off boredom. I wonder if Matthew Lillard felt the same, since this was his debut as an extra.The plot is about two rival fraternities who continue to play pranks on one another...the school's dean even gets thrown into the mix, involuntarily, for some zany early 90's foolishness. The same man responsible for this film, John Buechler, also directed Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood from 1988. Well doesn't that just explain everything? He also directed a movie from 1986 called Troll - another creature feature involving puppets, similar to Ghoulies, Puppet Master, and probably several other obscure titles that elude me at the moment. John Buechler had experience working with Ghoulies...he was a special effects technician in both the first and second installments. He also helped write the original film. He even credits himself having done special effects work for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - it's a small world we live in.What more can I tell you about Ghoulies III? Well...the humor is immature and not a funny type of immature, there's nothing impressive about the storyline or the creature effects, little to no gore, plenty of raunchy moments that serve no basis, and...yea. That's about it. It tries so hard to be funny but I honestly don't see how anyone would appreciate it...unless of course, they were on drugs. Ghoulies III never saw a DVD release in the United States and I hope it stays that way.

Memorabiliaurb This rubber monsters failed trying to be cool,scary or even comedians,looks like a wannabe movie of Porkys or Animals House but the sequences and history is not always clear also can't catch your attention all the movie looks cheap and with an amazing bad taste,the only thing that's makes you laugh is the awful rubber monsters who must have a cost of one dollar each,because the work or them never looks realistic,the movements and expressions make looks the Muppets as a Pixar 3D movie when you compare with this. Hope Marie Carlton is the only thing that makes supportable this awful movie,and when she dies in the movie,this turns even worst than before.A movie who only must be seen in fast forward.

Rautus This has to be the funniest Ghoulies film I've seen, the Ghoulies may talk now but what they say is funny. The things they do is great and really makes the film good to watch. The other actors are good and some come out with some humorous things, the campus security guard was laugh with his vehicle.Since it's prank week at the college, students from two Frats do pranks all over the campus to get the Prank crown but a Teacher is fed up of the Prank week so when he finds a comic called Ghoulish Tales off a Student who found it in the toilet's wall he decides to read from the comic in his office and summons the Ghoulies. The Ghoulies then go around causing trouble around the campus arguing with each other and punching each other in the progress. Ghoulies III is a great low budget movie that is definitely worth a watch.
