Classic Christmas Comedy-Horror

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2018)

Over 34 years old, 'Gremlins' is a deserved comedy-horror classic.
We all know the story: Billy Peltzer (Zach Galligan) receives a cute little Mogwai (Gizmo) as a present. After accidentally feeding Gizmo after midnight, thousands of nasty Gremlins mutate and take over the town.
Looking back, 'Gremlins' is more comedy than horror (though the ugly Gremlins may be scary for young kids); Gizmo is absolutely precious and the Gremlins' antics are more mischievous than terrifying, they just want to cause as much mayhem as possible while singing along to 'Snow White'. Even during the chaos, the Gremlins are still pretty cute.
'Gremlins' is a lot of fun and a worthy Christmas classic.
