Review of Gremlins (1984) by Originaldanger — 18 Aug 2020

Joe Dante's original... Gremlins is a 1984 horror kind of comedy and it's basically about a father wanting to get his son something for Christmas and he looks in some bizarre antiques shop and buys a harmless little creature called Gizmo who's a mogwai.

... He gets given a set of rules to abide by like don't get the creature wet, don't expose him to bright lights or sunlight and don't feed him after midnight... Surely enough he gives the gift to his son and by accident the harmless creature gets exposed to water and it multiplies more then they go into cocoons then the cocoons hatch then you've loads of evil creatures causing havoc in Kingston Falls.

.. Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates are great in this, Gremlins is funny but mainly dark and chaotic. Check the sequel too called Gremlins 2.... Both great films and Gremlins really captures the Christmas spirit and some of my best parts of Gremlins is when one gremlin is spinning fast on a ceiling fan in a bar and a bar full of gremlins drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes, also the famous pool scene and the chainsaw scene plus Mrs.

Deagles stairlift going fast until you see her fly out the window to her death and the gremlin creatures giggling and there's even a dude dressed as Santa with Gremlins all over him. ... The stripe gremlin is my favourite.
