A warning: feed your nostalgia with this one, but don’t feed your Mogwai after midnight. Equal parts quirky and chaotic, just the way we dads like it.

Roger Ebert

‘Gremlins’ is a confrontation between Norman Rockwell’s vision of Christmas and Hollywood’s vision of the blood-sucking monkeys of voodoo island. It’s fun.

Alternate Ending

Taking the trappings of family-friendly fantasy and comedy and making it as nasty and black-hearted as possible is kind of exactly Gremlin's reason to exist.

Common Sense Media

Gremlins smoke, drink like fish, and gamble with abandon. Gremlins gruesomely kill people -- and vice versa.

Keith & the Movies

Dante has a blast embracing every facet of this sci-fi, horror, comedy, creature-feature... overall the movie has aged well and it has the same fun, over-the-top energy that made it such a big hit in 1984.

Henry's Movie Guide

I strongly advise you see this movie. It’s very good and even funny at some parts. Gremlins is well acted and original. I would give it a 90% and an A as a grade.

Gremlins is a bold mix of holiday cheer and creature-fueled madness. With imaginative direction, memorable monsters, and a perfect blend of scares and laughs, it delivers a fun, fast-paced story that sticks with viewers long after the credits roll.

IMDb

"A dark, crazy, twisted, inventive, and violent Christmas classic. There's really no way to classify or categorize Gremlins. It's too mean-spirited to be a kid's film, but not quite intense enough to justify a higher rating..."
