Too much of everything
That was an excellent one.
Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Oh boy, if this is number 3 in the franchise and the previous 2 are each twice as good, best not watch them either. This one is the lowest common denominator. Students at an American college - obviously American - are more concerned with winning the annual prank competition than with graduating. For the male students, this joking is a higher priority than even sex, if you can believe that.Then, a harassed professor calls up these demonic entities which under his control wreak havoc on the students he so despises, it has to be said with good reason. You know exactly what is going to happen, and it does. The only thing that saves this film is a half-decent soundtrack, and perhaps the surprising fact that the sex angle isn't overplayed.
Ghoulies Go to College (1991) * 1/2 (out of 4) Professor Ragnar (Kevin McCarthy) turns out to be a sick, evil man and sure enough he sets loose the ghoulies on a college campus. It doesn't take long for the "cool" kids to come under attack and they must fight back.GHOULIES GO TO COLLEGE was the third film in the series and I must say that it came so, so close to actually being a good movie. In fact, this direct-to-video cheapie should have been a much better movie and it could have been had the filmmakers simply did a couple things different, which I'll get to in a bit. As far as the film goes, well, the entire series really wasn't much to write about but at least director John Carl Buechler turned this into a R-rated film aimed more at adults.This third film offers up a lot more nudity, a little more blood and it's clear that they were aiming the picture at horror nerds who were renting these type of low-budget movies on VHS back in the day. I really liked the fact that they tried to punch things up a bit but the majority of the adult nature comes from non-stop nudity that is running throughout the picture. Hey, there's nothing wrong with nudity, now is there? The women are all attractive and the monster costumes are good for what they are. With Buechler behind the effects one wishes that there was a bit more gore.The biggest issue with this film is certainly the screenplay as all of the characters are quite annoying. This film goes for a campy, obnoxious teenager thing and it just failed completely because you hate all of the teen characters and you really just want them to die off. They're some of the most annoying characters that you're ever going to see and there are just too many of them. All of them dreadfully annoying and after a while it just eats at you. I'd also argue that the 94-minute running time was way too long for this type of film.With that said, Buechler does a nice job in the directing department and McCarthy is good in the lead role. He's certainly a lot of fun here and it's nice seeing someone like him show up in a movie like this. As I said, GHOULIES GOES TO COLLEGE isn't a good movie but had the characters been less annoying and had the picture run a bit less, it could have been much more entertaining.
There's something for everyone here. I love this movie, which is hilarious! A college teacher brings the little creatures back to his campus, where they proceed to terrorize the faculty and students. I thought this film was fantastic in some ways and terrible in others. Some of the dialog is a bit lost on US audiences, but still some hilarious lines. From an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose, so I can accept them. This film is worthy of all the hopes you have. I hope to see this one again really soon, and for that reason I give it 7 out of 10.
Ghoulies III tries really hard to be funny, but for the most part is a lame attempt at a horror comedy. The series shifts from the carnival in Ghoulies II to a university during it's annual prank week. A strict professor unknowingly summons and resurrects the Ghoulies out of a toilet by reading (out loud) a comic book called "Ghoulish Tales". So instead of the satanic book of evil from the first two, it's a comic book that brings the creatures back to life. It's only appropriate that the Ghoulies this time around are more "comical". Instead of terrorizing and killing people, their main objective is to drink beer and stare at naked girls on campus. There are two main characters who are forgettable in the film after the first 30 minutes. It's up to them to send the ghoulish monsters back down the toilet where they belong!I cannot begin to tell you how annoying the human characters are in this film. If you've watched it, you'll understand. Their pranks are lame and pathetic, and the whole time you're hoping that a Ghoulie will get one if not all of them ASAP. The Ghoulies themselves can now talk of all things. Unable to speak in the first two, they have miraculously learnt the English language. Maybe they studied a bit at the university in between scenes, who knows? Ghoulies III basically says discard the first two movies and the rules that accompany them, and just go along with the idea that they love beer and will kill for a good time.There are some OK moments. The first time a Ghoulie opens up a beer is laughable, and the parts where they were driving around some sort of golf cart was good for a giggle or two. But this movie is not a funny movie. The student characters bring it down with their annoying stereotypical behaviour. Ghoulies III is a major letdown after the well done Ghoulies II.4/10
