This movie is really stupid and very boring most of the time. There are almost no "ghoulies" in it at all. There is nothing good about this movie on any level. Just more bad actors pathetically attempting to make a movie so they can get enough money to eat. Avoid at all costs.

...but it is pretty awful. A beefy (fat) cop is sent to investigate a break in at a warehouse unaware that a leather clad devil worshipper is trying to summon some demon or other using a red diamond, which she has lost due to her own stupidity. The cop has a similar diamond around his neck, for reasons that become brain-damagingly clear later, and is followed by two demon type things that appeared through a pentagram at the start of the film. Sprinkle in some footage from Ghoulies, some bad acting, daft optical effects and some comedy and you've got a film that you'll only watch when completely lost for anything else.

It's bad, this one, but not totally worthless. The cheapness keeps it going and it's directed by the guy who made the great Chopping Mall and the not-bad 967-Evil 2. The leather clad chick eases the pain a lot, as well as the bad acting. Very little blood and gore for a film of this type though.

Terence Malick. Stanley Kubrick. Stephen Speilberg. Great directors all, and yet none have come close to the genius that is Ghoulies IV. The man by the name of Jim Winorski, created this masterpiece that deserves a place alongside the great films of our time. And I thought no movie could be worse than Troll 2. Well let me tell you, Troll 2 is to Ghooulies IV what Gone with the Wind is to Heaven's Gate. There are no actors, only people trying to act. And their attempts are beyond the pathetic. The creature on the box isn't even the same as in the movie!! Absolutely the most amateurish film I've ever seen - I could do better with a videocamera and no script. Ugh. I didn't even find it bad enough to be able to enjoy it for camp (like Ed Wood) - it's JUST BAD. The worst film I've ever seen.

The only good thing about this film is they managed to tie it with Part one! But other than that it was one of the worst films ever! The only time you see the Ghoulies is in a flashback (and the flashback is just clips from Part one)! A must NOT see! On a One to Ten, "Ghoulies 4" gets a One!

All movies that contain "goofy sound effects" should be shot. If there is one thing I HATE, it's gotta be the use of a "whoop whoop whoo" when somebody gets hit one the head. The only movies I have seen to do this is Ghoulies IV and Hobgoblins when they are in the bar, and Pixie is hitting the guy in the red suit with a beer bottle... or rather, fanning him with a beer bottle, because she never really hits him with it. Yes Ghoulies IV does suck. But I have to wonder, did they MEAN to not make the so called "Ghoulies" mouths move when they supposedly talked? Their faces are almost as static as the masks used in Trolls 2. Hell, I can make a better mask out of construction paper, some rubber cement and a handful of glitter. This sucked.

This is one of the worst movies EVER made. I can't believe how bad it was. I was shocked at the awfulness of the "ghoulies" masks. They are OBVIOUSLY Halloween masks! The mouths don't even move when they talk!!!!! Why did they feel the need to make the ghoulies comical and goofy? Whenever they do anything there seems to be this circus-like music and overused BONK and BOING noises when they hit people. The bondage dominatrix lady is one of the worst actresses I have ever seen. This movie is just bad. The plot is nonexistent. The mom from ONE TREE HILL is in this though and she has obviously had a nose job since this was made. Why did the main character from the first movie return to make this garbage? BAD BAD BAD movie.

Okay, so I have a little thing for director Jim Wynorsky. Or at least I used to have, because it's been a while since I've seen a film of his. Wynorski must be one of my favorite bad-movie-makers ever. It's as simple as that. And "Ghoulies IV" really is one of the biggest stinkers of his I've ever seen. The only screen time the notorious Ghoulies have in this 4th installment is actually taken from footage out of the first movie. That's one thing you can say about Wynorski: He rips off whatever he can, even right down to his own movies (this not being the case for "Ghoulies IV", though - you have to see "976-Evil II" and "Storm Trooper" to understand this). But in this film we do have: Two extremely annoying and totally unfunny troll-midgets, a bunch of cheap & silly animated effects, a mysterious demon-summoning red diamond, bad acting, a retarded storyline that leads to nowhere, a drugstore shoot-out totally unrelated to the plot, yap yap yap and so on and so on... And best thing of all: Stacie Randall running around in a tight black latex suit with her boobies half exposed (all the time!). Great fun, but I have this slightest feeling that no-one is going to agree with me on that.

Wow! This movie is almost too bad for words. Obviously the writers wanted to somehow link this to the Ghoulies franchise, so they got Pete Liapis from the first one to reprise his role as Jonathan...only now, he's a cop and has no similar character traits as he did in the first one. The ghoulies in this one aren't the ghoulies from the last ones. The cheap looking puppets have been replaced with even cheaper looking costumed little people. Instead of being any main antagonist or being evil, they are more like the comic relief characters that appeared out of nowhere for no reason.

When watching this film for the first time, it felt like I'd seen it before. Why was this? Because everything in this was stolen from another movie. All the cheesy cop lines and action scenes were from Lethal Weapon. The ghoulies were pretty much like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, except they weren't amusing at all. Even scenes from the original Ghoulies film were sprinkled throughout this flick.

I think the target audience was supposed to be adults, but the mixture of black magic, cartoon slapstick, cop drama and bad acting doesn't work at all. I hope they don't make a Ghoulies V, because I don't want a movie studio to lose their money.

My rating: BOMB/****. 78 mins. R for violence.

They do... Each sequel is worst. You, who think that Ghoulies 2 or 3 need a 1, please, watch this sequel... You'll be wondering with the first three parts. Then you'll give a 10 to the first, 8 to the second and 5 or 6 to the other. That's because Ghoulies 4 really gets the big 1 (from me it does).

I love this movie!!! It's awesome! Everyone is saying its stupid but its not meant to be taken seriously. I mean you've gotta expect that when you watch a movie about a mental villain girl hunting a jewel that could summon her evil master to earth and the jewel is worn by Jonathan Graves. During all of this the Ghoulies are released. And Alexandra, the villain, is amazing. She's made my top 10 villains list.

And the Ghoulies, as irrelevant as they are to the story, I must say I enjoy the battles with Alexandra.

I especially love when they spray her Mace and she starts screaming and gets angry. She even runs into a man and falls down in pursuit of them.

I also must say that this really isn't a horror film. It's more of an action fantasy drama movie. It does fit into the horror category briefly but I wouldn't categorize it as that.

Anyways go watch this movie. It's awesome!!!

I'm trying to imagine exactly what sequence of events happened in order for this film to be awarded the title 'Ghoulies 4', and my strongest hunch looks like this:- They were making a totally random and incoherent film which was completely unrelated to the Ghoulies franchise, and then suddenly on the very last day that filming was due to wrap, the director is slipped an urgent memo from the producers which reads:

"BTW BRO THIS IS SUPPOSE TOO BE A GHOULIES MOVIE. WE FORGOT TOO TELL YOU. SORRY BRO. PLS MAKE IT A GHOULIES MOVIE. KTHXBYE."

Not only this, but the memo itself was written on blotting paper which had spent the previous week and a half soaking in maximum strength LSD, and the director (having run out of hubba bubba) absent mindedly decided to chew on it for fun. So there's also that.

-- I strongly believe this exact same scenario may also have happened during the making of Critters 4... the whole 'early 1990s Four-quel final day LSD blotting paper memo conspiracy' rabbit hole is suddenly gaining some traction.

As you've probably gathered nothing in Ghoulies 4 makes much sense, but it is actually a fun watch if you can handle some bad cheese. It has almost Samurai Cop energy in some places, despite being nothing like it overall. Considering how shamelessly these kind of low budget horror series get milked to death I'm surprised there was no Ghoulies 5 and beyond.

And the campaign of awfulness continues to drag us into the depths of horrid franchise entries...somewhere rattling around in that heap is The Howling VII and Silent Night, Deadly Night II. At least I can finally be done with the Ghoulies and put the memory of watching these subsequent titles into an unreachable sector of my brain.

Much like Ghoulies III, it was unbearable to sit through - a testament to my dedication in bringing you various reviews that the horror genre has to offer...that, and there's some sort of sick accomplishment in knowing I completed the series.

The plot in this one is so far gone and so dumb I'm not even going to discuss it. It doesn't share any similarities with the previous films; a welcome statement when further examining the shallowness of most horror franchises. Whoever was responsible for writing the screenplay and finalizing the decision (my guess would be Jim Wynorski, the director) on what the Ghoulies should look like needs to be dragged behind a barn and put down like a horse with a broken leg. Apparently the exclusion of puppets and the introduction of midgets, dressed in what I can best describe as "dollar-store halloween outfits," seemed like an outstanding idea for the production team...it's sad they didn't have the audience in mind.

From beginning to end, you'll be shaking your head repeatedly. There are no redeeming qualities - NONE. This is one of those titles that ends up being so bad that it fails to reach out to even the most die-hard of fans...it will never obtain cult-status. The one thing that can be said about Ghoulies IV is that some of the actors tried playing their parts convincingly - but do they need a gold star for their efforts? The Ghoulies is not and will not ever be a horror franchise that most Americans can discuss at a barbecue - Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street have that privilege (notice at no point did I say that this was a good thing).

Even after all of the terrible films I've sat through, I can't wrap my head around the concept of continuing a series that failed miserably after the second entry. The only conclusion I've come up with is that someone was having a contest to design a project that far exceeds the awfulness of it's precursor.

This is quite a bad movie but oh well, this movie is at least not as lame as the third Ghoulies movie.

Yes, this is a bad movie in terms of its writing, directing, acting and basically everything in between. It has such a weak, simple and ridicules story, that besides has little to do with the previous Ghoulies movie entries. It tries to connect the movie with the first movie "Ghoulies", from 1985 but then on the other hand, if they really wanted to connect this movie with its predecessors, then were are the Ghoulies in this movie? Instead now we are having some small people, played by Tony Cox and Arturo Gil, dressed up as demons. Not that the Ghoulies from the previous movies were any classic characters but they were nevertheless the heart and soul of the movie and also provided the movies with a certain amount of fun. It's like having a Gremlins movie without the Gremlins.

The movie is not really interesting to watch because it lacks any tension, good humor, intriguing characters and basically everything else you can think off because it got put together by persons who obviously aren't the most talented ones within their business. Just like at director's Jim Wynorski resume, with movies such as "The Witches of Breastwick" and its sequel, "Alabama Jones and the Busty Crusade", "House on Hooter Hill", "Scream Queen Hot Tub Party", "The Bare Wench Project" and the sequels "The Bare Wench Project 2: Scared Topless" and "The Bare Wench Project 3: Nymphs of Mystery Mountain" and "The Da Vinci Coed" on it.

Yeah the movie is quite silly and campy but this is not really enough to boost this movie and gives it some more entertainment value. You know, it's the kind of cheap looking movie with some lame special effects, costumes, make-up and actors nobody has heard of ever since.

Still it isn't the worst movie out of the series because of the reason that "Ghoulies III: Ghoulies Go to College" is by far a more worse movie, since that one had some horrible lame attempts at humor. This movie at least still does some attempts to be serious and professional one, even though the end result is far from perfect.

Bad movie making and perhaps only watchable for those who have seen the previous Ghoulies entries.

3/10

Busty beauty Stacie Randall plays PVC clad, bad-ass bitch Alexandra, the faithful acolyte of Faust, an evil entity trapped in hell. Determined to free her master, the malevolent minx breaks into a warehouse to steal a magical gem vital to her success; but whilst conducting a satanic ritual to summon Faust, the silly mare accidentally enters the pentagram she has drawn on the floor, which results in the loss of the gem and the release of two diminutive, troll-like creatures called Lite and Dark.

Now Alexandra must find a replacement gem, which isn't going to be easy: the only other stone that will do the trick is worn around the neck of her ex-lover, police detective Jonathan Graves (Peter Liapis), who is investigating the warehouse robbery and who knows only too well what evil Alexandra is capable of. Meanwhile, wise-cracking inter-dimensional half-pints Lite and Dark get into all sorts of zany trouble as they try to find a way back home.

In the warped movie world of Jim Wynorski, all females are big-breasted babes with the fashion sense of a cheap hooker. Ghoulies IV is no exception: every woman in this film—whether she be a police captain, a curator of antiquities, or a mental patient in an asylum—is hot, hot, hot and wears not a lot, and it's this fact that makes this otherwise totally unwatchable piece of STV crap just about bearable.

But be warned, even though the presence of semi-naked, quality crumpet makes the going slightly easier, there is still plenty about this film to warrant it being labelled as an ordeal: the acting is wooden and the dialogue is painful; the black humour (as the DVD blurb describes it) is about as funny as a knee to the knackers, with the comedic banter of Lite and Dark being particularly cringe-worthy; and the special effects are bargain basement, consisting of rubbery creatures and visual effects that would have looked dated ten years earlier.

3/10 solely for the high bimbo quotient.

No redemptive factors to this fricking disaster of a "film".

Don't watch this unless you want to ruin your experiences of the first three films and many other horror films.

This movie is horrible! Not even worth making fun of in a B movie cult kind of way like the original. It's basically 2 "short" guys in costumes and scenes from other movies. If you have to go cheap at least be entertaining or funny.

Okay okay, I must admit, I do somewhat like Peter Liapis and I'll admit this is not the best Ghoulies sequel. I mean, yeah, it had its flaws, such as NO GHOULIES themselves. But the two Ghoulies that come to earth were really funny, I guess they were called, Dark and Lite. I enjoyed the plot of the movie. And even at the end of the movie both Ghoulies implied that there would be a sequel. Still waiting. lol. Peter Liapis reprised his role as Jonathan Graves, this time playing a detective, how cute! Ghoulies IV may not be scary or suspenseful, but it is definitely funny. I thought I would comment on this movie and just say -- it's not that bad. It is worth watching even though the Ghoulies aren't in it.

I wouldn't know how popular Ghoulies IV remains, but watching it again after a prolonged hiatus, I can honestly say that it greatly exceeded my modest expectations. While Voorhees and Myers got it together on their part 4's, as a general rule, any franchise is mostly on its ass by 3, just ask Coppola, if I tell a lie. Put bluntly, Ghoulies IV is a delightfully daft comedy schlock-fest, that is certainly clever enough to know it! Dime store tough cop (Peter Liapis), and his feisty femme fatal captain (Barbara Alyn Woods) become evilly enmeshed in a buxom demonologist's (Stacie Randall) dastardly occult plot to steal the detective's life force. It's all monstrously silly, but amicably so, not unlike Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, the playful performances, slinky peek-a-boo outfits, and snappy backchat make Ghoulies IV an eminently likeable B-movie. Ghoulies IV being intentionally funny caught me wholly unawares, it was an unexpected treat laughing with a film with persistently prat-falling trolls than merely laughing at it.
