Comedy?

Rating: 7/10 (10 December 2005)

Gremlins was a great movie. It was much better than I expected, in fact the only reason I saw it was because it was Steven Spielberg and I greatly treasure many of his films i.e. Jaws, E.T.. But yeah, It was a very good movie seven stars, very entertaining but after watching it it leaves me with just one question. Family comedy? Don't get me wrong, I myself didn't mind Gremlins at all, but I saw almost no comedy whatsoever in this film. What I saw was light Horror that sometimes became very gruesome and dark. Such as the kitchen seen when Gremlin guts fly, and the seen when a man and his wife are plowed by a Gremlin driving their own plow. This movie I would not recommend for the whole family, it's just too dark, I don't think that parents want their children watching a teenager almost being hacked to bits by a demon with a chainsaw.
In summary this was an amazingly good movie, I loved it, but the gremlins slaughtering humans and the intense suspense are too much for young children. This movie should have a PG-13 slapped on it, and be watched by a more mature audience.
