An exciting 80s monster movie for the whole family

Rating: 7/10 (3 November 2005)

When receiving a brand new pet, Billy Peltzer is told three rules. 1. No Food after Midnight 2. No Water 3. Keep them out of the light. After breaking two of the three rules, his once cute and cuddly pet, Gizmo, squirts out multiplying, aggressive creatures that terrorize a small town.
Something so cute and friendly that becomes vicious is a constant fear shown in cinema, even today. Gremlins uses this fear to make one of to make a film that still scares kids now, twenty-four years later. Although Gremlins is quite family oriented, it really is a scary film. It takes a sophisticated idea of nasty things coming in pretty boxes and shows it in a way that is most certainly impressive.
Gremlins is not the most artistic movie ever made, but it is most definitely entertaining. After re watching it for a third time after five years, I still laugh at the corny PG jokes and watch intensely as those little creatures tear apart that peaceful town. It is just an entertaining film and there is nothing else to it. Overall, Gremlins will be a classic for years to come due to the original plot and immense entertainment that it provides.
I recommend this movie.
