i do not know why imdb list all the ghoulies film a theatrical release . they be all straight to video film . same with the puppet master series . why hasn not anyone notice this yet . right and somehow you have stumble across ghoulies iv and probably raid through an old abandon video rental store from 1993. you look in the discount section and find this . look at the back and front cover . what do you expect and the shawshank redemption . there be no need to review this film so critically . it be the fourth ghoulies film . i buy it on dvd for 6 . 50 because . it be 6 . 50. i know it wasn not kubrick material . and i be right . an unremastered dvd with no extra and not even a trailer and boast an uncared for film . it actually contain the star of the first ghoulies film and peter liapis . who really do not get many big role apart from those two film . and i do not see why . he not too bad an actor and be pretty fun . but i guess if youre gon na take a lead role in the ghoulies film and scorsese and tarantino will lose interest . also present be his idiot sidekick bobby di cocco and who despite have a very small resemblance to al pacino ( very small ) and retain none of his act ability . a complete idiot who just awkward to watch . then there stacie randall obviously a porn star and i do not need to look that up . she do look quite sexy and though her costume and her character and everything she do drag down the film credibility and which be no easy task for such a film . then there be the ghoulies themselves . who also manage to let u down . ghoulies iii make them start talk and mistake no . 1 and but ghoulies iv take it a step far . instead of be puppet and this time the ghoulies be in fact kid in costume . the filmmaker decide to run that extra mile to insult the film viewer . also and there only two of them and and theyre not the main highlight of the film and a they do not appear in a lot of it . however and at time they be mildly amuse . and theyre not evil this time either . this really be hilariously bad stuff and it amaze that i be actually able to enjoy it . i dunno why . some of the black humour be actually funny and though the script be mostly effortless . imagine satan only threat to you be that he will kill you and slowly . painfully . but at least full moon have no involvement this time . do they . yeah and a very bad and cheaply make film with 0 production value and but not so bad a to be in the rank of puppet master half and lawnmower man 2 and survive christmas or even ghoulies iii .
