'Ghoulies' (1985) – Luca Bercovici.

In the splatter-soaked 80s, there was a vogue for malevolent horror homunculi: Gremlins, Dolls, Child's Play, The Gate, Ratman, Puppet Master, The Munchies, Critters, Troll, with, perhaps, the grodiest B-Movie boogers of the bunch being those diminutively demonic, satanically spawned, Toilet Ducking devils Ghoulies. I still mightily dig on Ghoulies, and to a lesser degree, the increasingly diminished sequels. Acclaimed practical FX maestro John Buechler's memorably man-baiting imps remain the unequivocal stars of the show, palpitating redhead Lisa Pelikan is excellent, and Michael Des Barre's grandstanding, deliciously camp necromancer is a scenery scoffing delight! My sole quibble, and it's only the merest quibble-ette, it would have been jolly nice to have a few more scenes with the fascinatingly charismatic Jack Nance.
