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.
