Where to Watch Gremlins
- Gianni Cavuoto28 december 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.
- Richard20 oktober 2025Saw this one in cinema, back when Christmas movies could be cute, creepy and wildly inappropriate for kids. Billy gets a Mogwai named Gizmo for Christmas, along with three very specific rules: no bright light, no water and no feeding after midnight. Naturally, all three get broken and chaos ensues. Joe Dante directs with gleeful menace, blending holiday cheer with creature feature madness. The Gremlins go from mischievous to murderous in record time blowing up microwaves, wrecking bars and singing carols with razor teeth. The puppetry is top tier ’80s magic. Gizmo is adorable, Stripe is terrifying and the rest are somewhere between Looney Tunes and nightmare fuel. The cast is pitch perfect: Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates and Hoyt Axton anchor the madness, while Dick Miller gets his moment as the paranoid neighbor who was right all along. I liked the tone, the practical effects and the way it made cinema nights feel wild, weird and wonderfully off kilter with snow covered streets, gremlin mayhem and a Christmas story that’s anything but cozy.
- RiKxNu26 december 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.
