At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Larry (Damon Martin) and Uncle Ned (Royal Dano) are driving a truck to an amusement park with their attraction Satan's Den. They have to stop in a repair shop and four demons sneak and hide in the truck. They arrive at the carnival and hide inside the Satan's Den. The arrogant owner of the carnival P. Hardin (J. Downing) threatens to fire the employees if their attractions are not profitable and assigns the dwarf Sir Nigel Penneyweight (Phil Fondacaro) to work with Larry and Ned in the Satan's Den. He also hits on Larry's girlfriend Nicole (Kerry Remsen). When the audience sees the demons in the Satan's Den, they believe that they are part of the attractions and the entertainment becomes a sensation. But when people are attacked by the demons, there is panic in the carnival. Now Larry, Nigel and Nicole try to use an incantation to get rid of the creatures."Ghoulies II" is a funny and cheesy franchise similar to "Critters" and other "evil toys" in the late 80's and early 90's. The plot is silly with one dimensional characters and gruesome scenes, but entertains and is cult. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): Not Available

A paper-thin plot: Ghoulies II picks up a short time after the first movie, a few of the little nasties stow away on an amusement park ride and bring big bucks to a dying fair. The creatures are mad after an attempt to kill them, so the creatures go on a rampage through the fairgrounds, ultimately leading to an explosive conclusion.Sounds corny? No matter what anyone says, this is utterly fantastic. I refuse to totally dismiss this, because I find it quite engaging, in a guilty pleasure sense. I have to say it blew me away! This might all sound corny, like a bad B-movie, but that is not the case. My rating: 7/10.

Nothing great here a sequel to the rather bad, but rather successful Gremlin clone has a better setting than the original and it does not have that stupid satanic guy at the end showing up and trying to upstage the reason people actually flocked to see the first one the Ghoulies. This movie has the main setting as a carnival and that adds a bit to this one that was not present in the rather drab first movie. Still, the movie is not good and it is still a very inferior Gremlin clone. I rate Critters higher than this one as far as copycat franchises and Munchies and that Hobgoblins are worse than even this one. This movie and its predecessor could have been a bit better, but both have the problem of not seeming to know what movie they would like to be, a comedy type movie or a dark satanic set of horror movies. Trying to be both makes it fail rather badly at both genres making them both really bad movies. This one did not have the success of the first film at the theater as the first one took in thirty-five million which is rather staggering considering how bad it was. This one must have had limited success on VHS as it would spawn yet another sequel which I thankfully did not see.

I just can't hate this movie. Seriously. It's a stupid, fun movie that's perfect for that moment when you're kinda bored and maybe a little stoned and have time to kill. It's a sequel to a not so great movie. The Ghoulies are back and in a carnival fun house. I was amused by the way other people thought the ghoulies were part of the attraction while witnessing actual killing and death. It does sort of show how society can become desensitized to violence. Kind of a lofty thought for this type of movie. The plot is rather simple and kind of lame, but still loads of fun IF you watch it in the right frame of mind. You have to know what to expect. This isn't an award winning movie, folks. You shouldn't really expect more than the movie offers. It is lots of fun and has some interesting deaths in it. I laughed at several parts. I especially liked the way it ended. I found it funny as hell. I wouldn't pay to see it, but if you can catch it on cable, give it a try.
