Description: A boy
inadvertantly breaks 3 important rules concerning his new pet and unleashes a
horde of malevolently mischievous monsters on a small town.
Review: Films like “Gremlins” are such a joy to watch, no matter how many time
you see them. For someone from the eighties, “Gremlins” is a piece of
nostalgia, but for today’s viewers it’s also a fun film. A classic in its
genre, because who doesn’t know Gizmo?
Billy gets a new pet from
his dad, a so called Mogwai. There are three very important rules: don’t let
him get into the light, don’t get him wet and don’t feed him after midnight.
Billy doesn’t manage to live up to those rules and all hell breaks loose in an
American town.
Gizmo is without a doubt the
cutest, most adorable and heartwarming movie creature ever created. And that’s
exactly how bad and scary the Gremlins are. But all of it is entertaining to
watch and causes you to laugh.
The movie was made before
the era of computer animations. With this thought, Joe Dante did a great job on
“Gremlins”. The creatures look really good and detailed. And it still holds up. That makes “Gremlins” a timeless classic,
especially for those who grew up with this film.
