Just based on the title alone you know it's bad - following you around like some kind of disease, always a threat and dangerous to your well- being. Due to my special abilities, however, I'm able to deter the effects that this film has on most of its viewers...motivational loss, extreme boredom, possibly even suicide - luckily I'm able to repel the more serious side-effects but I cannot stave off boredom. I wonder if Matthew Lillard felt the same, since this was his debut as an extra.
The plot is about two rival fraternities who continue to play pranks on one another...the school's dean even gets thrown into the mix, involuntarily, for some zany early 90's foolishness. The same man responsible for this film, John Buechler, also directed Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood from 1988. Well doesn't that just explain everything? He also directed a movie from 1986 called Troll - another creature feature involving puppets, similar to Ghoulies, Puppet Master, and probably several other obscure titles that elude me at the moment. John Buechler had experience working with Ghoulies...he was a special effects technician in both the first and second installments. He also helped write the original film. He even credits himself having done special effects work for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - it's a small world we live in.
What more can I tell you about Ghoulies III? Well...the humor is immature and not a funny type of immature, there's nothing impressive about the storyline or the creature effects, little to no gore, plenty of raunchy moments that serve no basis, and...yea. That's about it. It tries so hard to be funny but I honestly don't see how anyone would appreciate it...unless of course, they were on drugs. Ghoulies III never saw a DVD release in the United States and I hope it stays that way.
