Inspired by the classic Gremlins the Ghoulies have become a cult classic. In some of the most exciting news in a long time for Charles Band and Physical media fans MVD Visual under the Rewind Collection have decided to make Halloween 2023 even better with the release of Ghoulies in 4K and Ghoulies 2 on Blu-ray.
First Up we look at the brand new 4K release of Ghoulies!
Take a creepy old Hollywood mansion, a naïve young man and a pretty girl. Add an over-the-top orgy and some slimy, winged goblins who crawl out of toilets, and you have Ghoulies, a horrifying and hilarious ride into the darkest regions of hell! Conjured during a party thrown by the mansion's new owner, the hairy, fanged demons waste no time wreaking havoc on the scene - and declaring the unsuspecting owner their new lord and master!
Ghoulies has received a brand new 4K restoration from a 16-Bit Scan of the Original Camera Negative. The film is also presented in its original 1.85:1 Aspect Ratio in Dolby Vision / HDR. The audio track is a 2.0 Mono DTS-HD audio. There are also English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing.
