Never Gets Old!

Rating: 8/10 (15 February 2008)

Gremlins (1984, Dir. Joe Dante)
When Billy Peltzer is given a small creature called a Mogwai by his father, he is unaware of the carnage he is about to encounter. There is a huge responsibility in looking after Gizmo as there are certain rules which must be followed. The Mogwai must be kept away from bright light, never made wet and never, ever be fed after midnight. When an accident occurs involving Gizmo and water, the next evolution stage of the Mogwai appears, and it isn't nice at all.
Now, who hasn't heard of gremlins, yet alone seen 'gremlins'? 'Gremlins' is one of those films, that although it's not perfect, never gets old. It's has both is scary moments and also it's comedy moments, whilst not going over the top. The gremlins still look amazingly real, and although there are a few dodgy shots compared to todays standards, the actual gremlins are beautifully made and operated. Although, 'Gremlins' isn't really a family film, it is a film that the whole family can enjoy. It the type of film that can even be viewed during the Christmas holiday. It's just a great big bunch of Spielberg fun and can not be missed!
