Gremlins 2: The New Batch
Young sweethearts Billy and Kate move to the Big Apple, land jobs in a high-tech office park and soon reunite with the friendly and lovable Gizmo. But a series of accidents creates a whole new generation of Gremlins. The situation worsens when the devilish green creatures invade a top-secret laboratory and develop genetically altered powers, making them even harder to destroy!

Saw te sequel, because once you’ve seen Gizmo sing in the snow, you’re not skipping the sequel.
Billy and Kate move to New York and land jobs in a high tech office tower owned by Daniel Clamp (a Trump parody with better hair).
Gizmo’s back, but after a lab mishap, the Gremlins return mutated, caffeinated and ready to party.
This time, they’re smarter, weirder and genetically enhanced.
We get a bat Gremlin, a spider Gremlin, a brainy Gremlin with a British accent and yes… the infamous Lady Gremlin, green, glam and ready to flirt her way through the chaos.
Joe Dante dials up the satire, breaking the fourth wall and mocking sequels, corporations and even the original film.
It’s meta, manic and proudly unhinged.
I liked the creature creativity, the cartoon logic and the way it made cinema nights feel like a fever dream, with puppet mayhem, musical numbers and a finale that’s part Looney Tunes, part monster mash.
