Small
satanic creatures called forth from the
netherworld, the Ghoulies were summoned
by the young Jonathan Graves (Peter
Liapis) during a black magic ritual and
are now roaming the city of Los Angeles
searching for a way home.
An escapee named Alexandra (Stacie
Randall) goes on a killing spree and
summons up her master the Demon who needs
a sacrifice along with two of the
Ghoulies who are not having success while
a rule breaking cop named Joanthan Graves
who is having trouble getting his life
together tries to stop her but is wearing
a necklace that seems to take control of
him too.
But one of Graves' mistresses named
Jeanie (Raquel Krelle) seems to be
perfect for a sacrifice and Graves must
rescue her before the necklace controls
him to wreck havoc.
This film brings
back the real Ghoulies
series except the creatures are different
this time but there's flashbacks from the
first film. We have neat fantasy moments
in the film and some corny scripting too
but nothing too terrible.
Nice cheesy effects and goofy ghoulies
but like the rest the plot is very
average but fun.
The acting is
actually fairly descent as we have a nice
performance by lead actor Peter
Liapis as a drunken but tough as
nails cop who brings alot of pizzaz to
his part.
Barbara Allen Woods is also another
one who stands out as a female cop with a
good and straighforward strict attitude.
Stacie Randell looked stunning in
her role as an evil lustful one raising
murders and hell.
Raquel
Krelle also looked good in her
performance as a kind of prostitute
adding a nice touch to this horror film.
Lots of the smaller cast were uncredited
for some stupid reason.
There is a brief butt shot
on Peter Liapis when he puts
some pants on.
A guy is bloodied but not
too gruesome.
We have raspberry director Jim
Wynorsky whom was famous for his
corny flicks like Sorority House
Massacre 2: Nighty Nightmare
taking the direction for this one.
He does show a cool beginning with
actress Stacie Randell walking
into the scene with her laser gun and
does an impressive job by hiding behind
the bit part actors and shooting them.
Then starts a pentagram by summoning up
her god played by Philip McKeon.
We have some nice action sequences with
lead actor Peter Liapis and his
gun fighting in a corner store. Nice
shots on Liapus shooting his
gun.
There's nice and effective dialogues
between Liapis and Barbara
Alyn Woods disagreeing with stuff
and Woods does well by acting
stern during one point too.
We spot a good shot on Bobby DiCicco
driving in his car and Randell
is in the backseat coming on strong with
him which looks truly lustful and
comedic.
A good shot on Liapis washing
his face and then looking up into his
bathroom mirror wearing the necklace and
showing a sneering expression on his
face.
A nice camera shot looking up on
supporting actress Peggy Tritini while
talking onto a cell phone in a car as
well as nice freaked out actions when the
car is in control by driving fast.
We briefly see a corny dialogue between
bit part actors Andrew Craig
mugging Lynn Danielson-Rosenthal
which could've looked a little better as
it looked a little tooslapstick.
There's a good gothic dialogue between Randell
and McKeon in an alley way
with a light shining on them.
There is an inside of a sanitarium with
the bit part actors playing inmates which
really lacked.
Another great performance by Randell
when she is about to do a sacrifice on Raquel
Krelle who reacts well being tied up
during this moment showing alot of great
energy.
There's a perfect moment with Liapis
acting possessed and about to attack Woods
outside of a sanitarium.
We got some great and fun
synthesizer music for the film sounding
adventureous and cheesy too performed by Chuck
Cirino whom has composed for many of
Wynorski's future projects as
well as numerous other cheesy horror
flicks.
