Mayem Prevails.

Rating: 3/10 (31 August 2013)

Blockbuster hit comedy of evil creatures(gremlins) who are accidentally unleashed on a small town at Christmastime, and the efforts of the teenagers(Zach Galligan & Phoebe Cates) to stop them.
This isn't the popular view, but this film is just sour; the illogical plot dealing with the "rules" surrounding the gremlins has been mocked even by those who are fans, I just found the mayhem to be too intense and mean spirited, ruining any enjoyment that the story desperately tries to muster. I have to agree with critic Leonard Maltin here...who would turn up in the sequel!(There had to be one of course, though that's another story...
