Routine _Gremlins_ clone that never successfully mixes humor and horror, despite a few effective moments (like Bresee as a satanic temptress with a *really long* tongue). The ending is an especial cop-out, though this was successful enough to inspire several direct-to-video follow-ups.

The best thing about this movie is the cover: a green monster with suspenders standing in a toilet. The movie itself is pretty bad.

Oddly accurate about Satan worship and paganism; in its own naive way. Filled with Charles Band's touches, this is one of the better examples of it all working.

I was nine when this movie came out, I remember being at the local video store and seeing the little monster coming out of the toilet on the cover. It freaked me out and I remember having to check a few times when I sat down to do my business. That memory is stronger than anything actually in the movie.

Low-grade shit. Sometimes I hate October. The climax, a struggle between two old guys with lightning, was somewhat enjoyably campy, at least.

I knew this would be bad but it was still strangely disappointing. There were very few ghoulies and none of them acted in a wacky or sassy way (no sunglasses or air guitar etc.).

this isn't a great film, or even all that good. parts 2 and 3 are so much more entertaining, but this film still gets a 65 because it's nostalgic, it's one of the first horror films I ever saw and it made me a lifelong fan of the genre.

Very poor.
