Good Movie!

Rating: 8/10 (22 June 2009)

I liked Gremlins. I was not expecting much because I thought that this film was one of those ridiculous 80's horror films. But, when I saw the names of Steven Spielberg and Joe Dante, I decided to give this movie a try. I was pleased at the result.
This film starts with an inventor buying an unusual gift for his son, a Mogwai. They are cute creatures, but there are three important rules they must follow. When all these rules are broken, the Mogwai transforms into nastier creatures. They decide to wreak some havoc.
The acting is good. I liked Zach Galligan, Pheobe Cates, Corey Feldman, and Judge Reinhold. They set the tone of the film.
The special effects are great. I liked the creatures and in today movies, they would still look real.
The score by Jerry Goldsmith is another beauty of a score.
There is a great mixture of comedy and horror. I was either laughing or cowering. This is not the best film ever, but it's still pretty good. I rate this film 8/10.
