Endearing Feel-Good Horror Comedy

Rating: 6/10 (18 March 2007)

Gremlins is one of my favorite horror comedies in that it boasts some endearing characters, innovative ideas, and excellent execution of story.
While this is definitely not for fans of all ages, the exception being younger children, most everyone else will enjoy this fast-paced, twisted romp into the netherworld of magickal, mystical beasties and their lore.
Set in what was then contemporary America, and peopled with the popular young actors of the day, this work exhibits some of the same teenage appeal as did most 80's movies, but with the added draw of lovingly created monsters and characters.
It is great fun, if somewhat darkling in consideration, although to watch it today, it is rather dated.
It rates a 6.4/10 from...
