The Ghastlies is a B comedy horror that is meant to be stupid and campy looking but funny, and it is funny and entertaining in that sort of over the top way. It parodies the classic Ghoulies, Critters, Munchies, and Hobgoblins films from the 1980s. It begins with a silly satanic ritual gone wrong due to an unexpected disruption from a flying saucer from outer space with little space aliens who are, of course, the ghastlies. The story continues five years later, with a group of girls spending the weekend together on a camping trip out in that same area, who then have one of their boyfriends and a friend of his suddenly pop up to join them. They then, of course, get unexpected visits from the ghastlies. The plot and storyline are predictable, like they are meant to be, but there is plenty of good humorous drama and dialogue to keep it funny and entertaining, along with keeping interest. The actions and kill scenes are funny and entertaining when remembering it is parodying the other movies mentioned above from the 1980s. It is definitely not great, but fun and worth a look for those into parodies and movies like the ones mentioned above.
