Perfect movie!

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2019)

Gremlins is a masterpiece of film. Joe Dante, Jerry Goldsmith, Chris Columbus and Steven Spielberg banded together to create an amazing horror comedy. It can go from scary to funny in the blink of an eye, and is everything ive ever wanted in a movie. Stripe is a fantastic villain (thank you Frank Welker.) But probably my most favorite part of this movie is that it isn't afraid to get dark. From the dreaded microwave to Phoebe Cates christmas story, there are some super dark elements to this movie (so much so that it and temple of doom created the PG-13 rating.) Some of the effects are a little dated, like the stop motion after the pool scene, but that is forgivable for another hour and a half of pure joy. Love this movie!
