In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Ghoulies (1985)
A horror directed by Charles Band.
The son of an evil magician inherits the family house and begins using the procedures that he finds in books there. He calls a few small monsters to his aid until 2 of them trick him into using a ritual of their choice.
It was very clear that this was a Full Moon movie as I saw names from The Puppet Master and Subspecies series in the opening credits. What followed was cheesy b horror without a doubt, but it didn't live up to company standards as I see them. The monsters were funny and looked like hand puppets and the plot was cheesy, but not gouda. I'm giving it a less than illustrious orange rating.
