Ghoulies II: Ghoulies Join the Circus! Okay, that wasn't the subtitle, but it should have been. Anyone who knows the _Ghoulies_ movies understands what the films are: low-rent _Gremlins_ (1984-1990). Now, if the _Gremlins_ films were too close to being kids' movies, then _Ghoulies_ will be better for you. These are definitely horror... PG-13, but horror nevertheless - with the exception of parts three, and four, being R. Let's stick to part two: this is silly '80s cheese, but it's fairly entertaining. Now, a problem with the first movie is that the titular characters were underutilized. Well, fear not, they are all throughout this movie, even though they are not the focus. The movie is set at a circus, and the story is really a drama about a greedy promoter coming in and threatening to make changes. Aside from that, the Ghoulies are just there. Most of the time, they are in Satan's Den - a spook house - apparently they couldn't find the exit, they had to wait for a hole to be blown through the wall, so they could get out. The third act has them terrorizing people on rides, and elsewhere. We even get a giant Ghoulie at the end. Blood, and gore are minimal; this is definitely a soft PG-13. Overall, it's a fun time. If you dig silly 1980s horror, give it a watch.

_Ghoulies II_ is the fun that the first movie should have been. "Good" might be too strong a word for this one, but it's a definite course correction for the series, 'cause unlike the first _Ghoulies_, I actually enjoyed my time with this one. _Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._
