So everybody remembers "Gremlins" right? When I first saw it, I used to watch it over and over again every weekend. It had it all, horror, comedy, gore, and of course...GREMLINS! Now while many people are partial to Gizmo I liked the Gremlins more than I did him. They were a very merry band of mischievers.  |

Any horror movie made before 1990 is pretty much old considering it's 2006. "Gremlins" is certainly an oldie but a goodie as well. Too bad the sequel was so bad. The original had a few eerie moments, like the finale in the toy store with stripe, Billy, and gizmo.

I never really got some things about "Gremlins". When Gizmo get's wet, he produces the aforementioned "Gremlins". But if they are a product of a small harmless mugwai or whatever he was, then why do they come out mean, evil, mischevious, and destructive? Also they looked totally different from Gizmo. Can anyone explain any of this??

It's complicated but here goes...
Gizmo knows the rules, no getting wet, no eating after midnight. But when he does get wet, I think the mogwai that are born are different parts of Gizmo's personality. Although they don't have the heart that he does, but since Gizmo really doesn't have a bad side, it's only natural that the gremlins would get nothing but his bad side in their personality traits.
The gremlins start out as Mogwai just like Gizmo, although much meaner and they're troublemakers. When they eat after midnight then they go into a cocoon stage and then wake up once they're full blown gremlins. The full blown gremlins look like reptiles, and totally the opposite of how gizmo looks.

"Gremlins" is always a good watch. The perfect blend of horror and black humor.

'Gremlins' is more of a black comedy like 'The Munchies'. I don't see how you can really call it horror? It certainly is borderline but that's only because the gremlins mature to become ugly razor-toothed reptiles, and don't stay small and harmless the entire picture.

"Gremlins" is a classic. Not for every horror fan, but definitely fun to watch and enjoy.

"Gremlins" was good all around. How can you not enjoy watching these little critters run amok and terrorize people throughout smalltown U.S.A.? #thumb3#

Wasn't really a fan of GREMLINS. It was really unbelievable when you think about it. How a town could be overrun by oh about 150 little muppets? I could see if it were about 900 or more of them but 150? No way, it can't happen.

It was more than 150 of them and I'm sure the police tried to hose them down at some point which only led to creating more of them. Plus you know in small towns they aren't quick to use SWAT or excessive force unless it's very necessary. |
