    a film that is designed to scare children, but not so much, that is, without piquant details, as in the 1986 Critters film series, and for adults it will seem like a dark comedy, I admit I did not understand where the plot for the film came from, only the 1983 film "Return of the Aliens' Deadly Spawn" comes to mind." it's not a comedy film of much lower quality at all! ★ The film itself is practically a puppet show for children, in which if someone died, they wouldn't show it to the children! There is a certain comicality in the actions of Gremlins and a funny musical accompaniment.
    • The creation of gremlins, the creation of these characters took away the most significant part of the eleven million dollar budget of the picture.
    • The film takes place in winter. Theoretically, if gremlins touch snow (a form of water), they will multiply.
    • There are some memorable moments from the movie for me, one of which is that bar scene. Gremlins mimic and emphasize the drunken behavior of people in a bar.
    • Kate's monologue. The girl explains her hatred of Christmas and says that her father died after trying to climb down the chimney of the family home in the image of Santa.
    • I also remember the kitchen scene very well. Lynn Pelter discovers newly hatched gremlins there and starts wielding a knife.
    • Tree attack. The glowing gremlin's eyes are perfectly masked by the surrounding decorative lights.
    • This movie can be considered a Christmas movie. This is evidenced, for example, by elements such as Gizmo playing keyboards in a Santa Claus hat, and evil gremlins singing Christmas carols. In addition, the painting has its own product line: you can collect an assortment of souvenirs from films - from figurines to plush gizmo toys that are suitable for Christmas gifts.
    😁Your reaction turned out to be interesting and contagiously funny, and all this creates a festive mood, with each viewing you can find something new for yourself, with memorable scenes and witty charm. Thank you sm and Merry Christmas to you girls!🥂🦊☃️🎁🎅🏻🧡

    Most people today associate the term "gremlin" with the creatures in this movie, but the term was used in the 20th century, especially during World War 2 to explain malfunctions in aircrafts and machinery. There wasn't any one specific idea of what they looked like. It changed depending on who told it. If I remember correctly, there was a moment in this movie or maybe part 2 when a tv is showing a Bugs Bunny cartoon where he delt with a gremlin.

      Yup! The Gremlins' in the movie mess with technology in the movie the same way, with the Stop Lights and the way they tricked the kid into feeding them after midnight.

    During WW2 "Gremlins" were famously blamed for most technical issues of equipment, although the truth was that there was so much "production" going on that there were a few steps skipped on the assembly lines in order to meet the demands that were being asked....resulting in some "poor quality" causing the failures.
    BUT, because it was so well known for "failures in equipment" that when Billy jumps into his car and it STARTS, it is hilarious because the idea of a Gremlin "tampering" with his car actually made it WORK instead of fail. At least for a moment.

      Not so for my very young cousin who was a little girl at the time! Back in the 80s, some cousins of mine (brothers) went to see Gremlins at the cinema. Their little sister tagged along and she was really scared of Gizmo. So much so that they were forced to leave the cinema very early on in the movie. And that was before the gremlins even made an appearance.

    Howie Mandell was the voice of Gizmo. It makes me wonder, where did Howie get the inspiration for Gizmo's singing. It's a very familiar melody. I feel like it's gotta be like a take of John Williams work in E.T. seeing as how Spielberg helped make this movie. Like they played it for Howie and tried to have Howie vocalize John's orchestra.

    Trust me, when this movie basically played on EVERY cable channel in the late 80's and early 90's. So much so, that it even got its own "Gizmo plushie" to sell. Which became one of the top selling plushies for the year it was released.
    It ALSO made basically every single microwave maker put disclaimers on the side of their microwaves NOT to put small animals into the microwave.

The Mogwai in it all have very different distinct personalities, looking vastly different than they do in this one, the puppetry & animatronics for Gizmo/the Gremlins are 6 years more advanced, & lastly, they all come in SUCH a CRAZY variety of different things with different mutations.. You two will absolutely LOVE it, trust me.. It's def my favorite of the two films.. ❤✌🏻

    The Father in the movie, the one that buys the Mogwai, is played by Hoyt Axton. Hoyt Axton, in addition to acting was a singer songwriter. One of his best-known songs was a big hit for a band called "Three Dog Night" It was called "Joy to the World". There is also a famous Christmas song "Joy to the World"(not the same song). But it's still a Christmas movie!

But above all else I was really happy to see your reaction to this absolute classic of a film, in which I know you both would love Gizmo. Just a little rant I myself have a Gizmo sitting a shelf which I had got for the 35th anniversary showing in the cinema about 5 or 6 years ago. But in any case I hope that you not only loved this film but also had a very Merry Christmas and will be having having a very Happy New Year to you both and to all of your loved ones. As well the same goes to those here in the comments have a Happy New Year to you all.

    The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) introduced the PG-13 rating on July 1, 1984 to address movies that were appropriate for teenagers but could be harmful to younger children. The rating was created in response to the controversy surrounding a few blockbusters released in the mid-1980s, including Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Gremlins. Some audiences complained that these movies were too violent and gory for children, and that the PG rating wasn't enough.

He also been a great lovable character in the Beverly Hills cop movies which you should see (1 and 2 only). Another fun fact Kizmo was supposed to be Stripe but they decided to keep them separate even the mother was suppose to beheaded. You should watch Its A Wonderful Life the ultimate Christmos movie (Which you see scene of it in this movie). Another great underrated action Christmas movie you should see is Reindeer games 2000 with Ben Affleck. no one react to it yet.

    Knowing about 80s special effects I’d say all of the explosions are real.

    I remember being irritated when the film came out. The TV spots made it look like much more of a kids film and downplayed the horror aspects. It was good, but not what I was expecting. Imagine if you were a little kid prone to nightmares! Joe Dante fought to keep the dead father in the chimney story. The studio hated it, but Dante thought it perfectly encapsulated the mood of the film: horror and comedy. Eventually producer Steven Spielberg weighed in, saying that it was Dante's movie, and even though Spielberg didn't like that scene, it should be the director's decision. The studio relented and there it is. Of course the story is impossible. Unless your house is several hundred years old, the chimney flue isn't nearly big enough for a human to fit in it (they tend to be less than 12" wide), let alone packages, so this couldn't ever happen. In the sequel they make fun of this story as well as many other things in the first film (after midnight where? It's always after yesterday's midnight!). The sequel is essential viewing.

    I've always thought this movie was more comedy than horror, although, as Magy said, there are definitely horror elements. As I recall, the sequel has more unique Mogwai.

    ya this was so fun when it came out. I saw it at I think 13 or so, so perfect age. It was the first PG-13 movie with all the violence in it.
