the classic of classics <<< potential SPOILERZ>>>

Rating: 8/10 (29 November 2005)

Few movie fans remember their first trip into movie-world. For me it was this 80's directed Joe Dante piece that was written by Chris Collumbus and produced by Steven Spielberg. O, the 80's, a truly jubilant era in history...the era of the gremlins.
Given to him by his inventor father, a boy is introduced to Gizmo, a cute strange furry creature that sings, acts lovable and so forth. With Gizmo comes the rules and regulations that is to be strictly administered...No food after 00:00 - no daylight and no water.
When this rules is broken, Gizmo first multiplies when the boy spills water over him, and then the evil offspring tricks him into giving them food after 00:00.
All of this results in the newly born Gizmo's turning into Gorgoyle like demon-creatures causing havoc and living for chaos.
Gremlins is a classic no matter how you look at it, loaded with social commentary, humor and the most important element of movies...love.
an amazing fantastic and funny piece.
