Where to Watch Gremlins
- RecordedsnakeJuly 7, 2026Gremlins is a brilliant mix of comedy, horror, and Christmas magic that has stood the test of time. The creatures are funny, chaotic, and surprisingly creepy, making every scene entertaining. It perfectly balances laughs with suspense, and Gizmo is one of the most lovable movie characters ever created. A true 80s classic that's just as enjoyable today as it was when it was first released.
- Gianni CavuotoDecember 28, 2025This 1984 classic is just the right amount of comedy, fantasy and horrific catastrophe as you can get. Fun story and even better animatronics too. The CGI / Claymation done in a few scenes were a bit lacking but it's obvious that the bulk of the money on this movie was spent on the puppets for sure. In the end this one stands up to the test of time just as good as any other 80s classic and it's a fun revisit, especially around the holidays. Just be warned, it's not as tame as your memory told you it is and I believe the PG rating is a bit false….in MY opinion I would want to see a PG-13 rating on this movie. I dont think a 5 year old should watch this film….but that’s me. You do you.
- RiKxNuDecember 26, 2025A Christmas classic despite being full of plot holes and dumber than the inbred offspring of valleys first cousins. It’s huge seasonal fun with a suitable soundtrack, Scrooges and the magical quaintness of the 80s as the peak of civilisation. Warning that even as a PG it unequivocally states there is no Santa in case you’re sharing with a younger audience.
