Alright, I'm going to make this a quick one. Growing up Ghoulies II was one of my favorite films. It had some horror elements to it while being largely a comedy. It was one of those bad movies that are so fun. This one however was just bad. It tries to be a comedy but I have no idea who it thinks its comedic audience is. The jokes, score, and sound effects are extremely reminiscent of a "made for TV" Disney movie or Nickelodeon Show. It seemed straight out of iCarly. So one might think, maybe they are making a scary movie for kids (like the previous one, or Troll, or Gremlins). Wrong. The movie is so choked full of nudity that it got an R rating.

Demented Death Farm Massacre (1986)

June 16, 2018

This Troma release is poorly made even by Troma standards. Most of the film was originally released in 1971 under the title Shantytown Honeymoon. Then a producer bought the film, shot about three minutes John Carradine (Grapes of Wrath actor and John Ford favorite), added it to the film, and retitled it Honey Britches. Then it was sold to Troma who rereleased the film in 1986 under the title Demented Death Farm Massacre... The Movie. Don't let the title fool you, there is no farm, little dementia, and very few and disappointing deaths.
