Yes, I've seen it.  I would say I enjoyed it for what it was: a semi-sleezy Gremlins knock off.   Of course, it's not as sleezy as it could be; not Joe D'Amato sleezy, anyway. 

There were a couple sequels made as well, but I've heard they were the kind of think that make a man's boys shrink back into his pelvis.   I have avoided them as such.

The sequels are not something to be spoken about in polite company.  The first is amusing at times, though I remember wishing that the little bounty-hunter dressed monsters did more.  For all the hype on the box, their rampage is pretty limited.

I remember watching this one, it's not bad enough to be painful or funny and not good enough to watch again. If you get a chance to see it without spending too much money, go for it. Movies are a lot like candy, not every flavor is liked by everyone, but every flavor is liked by someone.

WOW! I must say this is one of the best analogies I've ever heard! Amen Brotha!

Just came across this title searching Amazon, checking out the Gremlins knock-offs.
Harvey Freaking Korman is in this? I've gotta see it.

I've seen Munchies but it's been years ago.  Probably in '89 or '90 on HBO.
I don't really remember much from it.  All I can remember is some scene with a pool table and the little critter.
Or was that Ghoulies?

I should rent both of them and have a "Gremlins knock off" double feature one of these nights.   :smile:

Try Hobgoblins too, might be best to go with the MST3K version.  It would be pretty painful without the commentary.
