Ghoulies IV
While in pursuit of cop Johnathan Graves, his demonic nemesis, Faust, sends his disciple Alexandria to hunt down the amulet that will set him free. Meanwhile, the Ghoulies find their way through an open porthole and onto the streets of L.A., creating madness and mayhem as they search for a way to get back home. As the body count rises, it becomes an ultimate battle between a demonic killer, a rule-breaking cop, and our favorite creatures from the netherworld!
Why it matters
Ghoulies IV delivers a scattershot demon-hunting romp that’s more ’90s direct-to-video chaos than franchise sequel.
- An oddball entry claiming continuity but ditching the titular creatures—Ghoulies fans beware, they’re nowhere to be found.
- Embraces B-movie nonsense with a cop-vs-demon showdown and a loose, almost unwatchable plot that might appeal to fans of campy cult oddities.
- L.A. setting offers a rare urban backdrop for this kind of demonic mischief, though it rarely capitalizes on the potential atmosphere.
- For viewers who cherish the gloriously bad and the “so wrong it’s almost right,” this is a curious artifact of ’90s horror churn rather than a must-see chapter.
