Jonathan Graves (Peter Liapis) inherits his Satanist father's mansion. He throws a party and starts conjuring up Ghoulies, which are sort of demonic goblin things. This is a garbage Gremlins knock-off with no humor, charm, or entertainment value. The best thing about it is that it has one of the coolest movie posters of the 1980's, with the Ghoulie coming up out of the toilet. It's just not a fun movie at all. It's nasty and cheap. Avoid this mess. See Gremlins instead. Or you can just skip this one and watch the better Ghoulies part 2. But yeah, Gremlins is better than that too. So just watch Gremlins or even Critters over this dreck.

If You've Seen the Movie Poster You've Seen All the Fun Ghoulies Has to Offer
If you like Troll 2...
Throughout my life I have seen dozens of bad movies, and Ghoulies certainly ranks up there with the worst of them. From beginning to end you will be wondering where this film will go, and it never truly tells you what it's doing or why it is doing it. Besides the plot making no sense, and truly having a lack of a clear story whatsoever, the film also suffers on a script level with all of its characters being nothing but over exaggerated stereotypes- that are truly so forced, you have to see them to believe it. The special effects are god awful, as to be expected, and the ghoulies themselves are hardly on screen enough to make a presence, and when they are you will simply ask why they are there at all to begin with. The film, simply put, is a disaster on all levels. I have not watched a film with so many WTF moments since I first witnesses the miracle of bad movies Troll 2 quite a few years ago. Ghoulies tries so hard at being nothing, and it honestly hurt my brain to watch this film. My Rating: 1/10
the one on the cover looks like Truman Capote painted green
In this hilarious "Gremlins" rip-off, a bunch of little green monsters go wild in attacking horny teenagers (whether or not we see them getting it on, you know that they're doing it!). The poster shows a ghoulie emerging from a toilet, and apparently some critics said that the movie belonged there. I wish to assert that "Ghoulies" is so hilariously stupid, that it deserves as much recognition as "Citizen Kane".
Anyway, this is one of those cheap horror flicks that you just gotta love. Aside from being an obvious "Gremlins" rip-off, the clown was clearly a "Poltergeist" rip-off. Thus, the movie's a really good time. Starring Mariska Hargitay (yes, Jayne Mansfield's daughter, now of the "Law & Order" spin off) in her debut.
Yes, you can call him Dick. And I still assert that the ghoulie on the cover resembles Truman Capote, except green.
