Ghoulies II is miles ahead of the first one! Watching it, I couldn't believe how much more fun and enjoyable this one was compared to the first. This time the little creatures attack "Satan's Den", a house of horrors at a deserted amusement park. Every time a customer enters the funhouse, the little ghoulies pop out to scare and sometimes kill them. There are many lighthearted moments like when the Ghoulies "goo" the couple making out so that when they come out, they are stuck together. Eventually, the ghoulies make out of the funhouse and terrorize the people at the carnival leading up to an explosive conclusion.
This is such a big step up from the first Ghoulies, it's unbelievable. The pace is better, the comedy is apparent, and the movie is better for it. The gag with the Ghoulies playing some of the side games at the carnival is classic comedy. The Ghoulies themselves have more of a humorous personality, just like the Critters in that series. There is also a cringe worthy scene in a washroom when the owner of the amusement park sits down on the seat not knowing a Ghoulie is waiting in the bowl. There are some very good scenes in the house of horrors as well. They use many of the scares in the place to showcase the little creatures. It is very reminiscent of the 1981 horror flick "The Funhouse".
Ghoulies II is much better than the first one. I say skip that one and watch this one. Best in the series by far.
7/10
