Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

mpaulso A perfect mix of everything I love in movies! 80's, Christmas, Animals, and horror. Also Kate's story about her dad dressing up as Santa Claus and dying in the chimney was the most hilariously dark thing I have seen in a movie in a while.

veerb-29033 Truly this was a really good movie i loved the mild terror of the look of the gremlins and the cuteness of the mogwai so it was over all a really good movie i would recommend this for a 8 year old. the beginning is a little boring but the middle and the end get the hype up so it is really amazing

generationofswine If it can be old and you don't judge it on age...you will like this movie.If you don't care that the movie doesn't take itself seriously...you will like this movie.And if your body has aged but your soul has not...you will like this movie.Like "The Goonies," The other Columbus/Spielberg collaboration there is a very clear lines are drawn in the sand."/" Marks the divide between the folks that loved it as kids and still love it because it is a fun movie that doesn't take itself seriously..."/"...and the folks who, as adults, don't seem to care for anything that isn't serious. You know, the folks who will ONLY watch a comedy if it is done by Wes Anderson or is muted and dramatic.And that is fine, it's just a shame they lost all sense of childhood fun and adventure. You know, the folks that can't get excited about building pillow forts with their kids anymore."/" Also marks the divide between '80s kids and adults that assume anything more serious than "paw patrol" will mortify a child under 16.And they are forgetting that, when they were kids, their folks took them to see "Robocop" and "Nightmare on Elm Street" and "The Goonies" and "Gremlins" on the big screen and they were NOT traumatized for life by them.You know, idiots that forget that children are humans too. Not as developed, but certainly not butterflies.And the last "/" line in the sand divides the folks that care about how long ago the '80s were and want everything made 5 seconds ago...and the folks that can still watch "A Christmas Story" and not feel that it needs to be updated, remade, and rebooted to reflect the style and technology of 2017.

Christmas-Reviewer BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE FILM. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM HONEST! This film was one of the best films produced by Steven Spielberg that he did not direct. This film was written by Chris Columbus (Future Director of Home Alone) and directed by Joe Dante. In this film a would be inventor brings home a strange creature. Its a "mogwai" but he is Billy's pet and he names him Gizmo. Now there is 3 rules he has to follow however all the rules get broken and now Gizmo has new off spring and they are not friendly. The Christmas Eve Setting is brilliant set up because it sets up the contract of two different environments. It is "Good Vs Evil"This film is not for small children, In fact the violence is so intense that it ushered in the PG-13 Rating. Released in 1984 the film still is a crowing achievement in the pre- cgi era. In fact I don't think CGI would of improved the film.If it has been a long time since you have seen this film then please watch it again and see how well it holds up. FYI Today films get released on DVD no more than 6 months after a theatrical release. "Gremlins" did not come to Home Video Until 18 Months later.
