Another one of the 80's finest

Rating: 9/10 (24 December 2009)

Throughout the 80's cinema goers experienced some incredible movies and were treated to some very special moments and Gremlins firmly cements itself into the top draw of the era.
While Gremlins is a "Very" black comedy it still appeals to most people. Whether it's the scary side, or the cute side (provided by Gizmo) the film delights and scares people still to this day.
After viewing both of the films again very recently with my girlfriend, who has never seen either before, it was great to see the reaction of a new viewer watching 25 years after its release.
Very well directed, shame about some of the acting and some of the music pieces are haunting.
Now what makes it so special? Well ...to be honest i don't know, it just has a magic factor to it that holds you throughout and keeps you wanting to revisit time after time. Having both Gremlins and Gremlins 2 in your DVD/Blu-ray collection is a must, if not i urge you to pick them up! Especially if you have never seen them! Now all i have to decide is which film is better 1 ...or 2?
