Gremlins | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Peter Bradshaw Guardian It is a wacky, satirical spectacle of chaos. Rated: 4/5 Dec 6, 2019 Full Review Gremlins | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Richard Corliss TIME Magazine A wildly original roller-coaster ride of hilarious mischief. Dec 6, 2013 Full Review Gremlins | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Peter Travers People Magazine Here's the season's most delicious and unexpected surprise. Despite the horror-flick title, Gremlins is a movie of wicked wit and startling invention, and it has a heart that's at least a match for the special effects. Dec 6, 2013 Full Review Gremlins | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Casey Chong Casey's Movie Mania Gremlins benefits from [Joe] Dante’s genre know-how direction on effectively blending creature horror with elements of dark and quirky comedies. Rated: 5/5 May 31, 2024 Full Review Gremlins | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Ray Pride Newcity Joe Dante’s super little film... is a salute to American studio backlot filmmaking as well as a galloping gust of monster id/ Rated: 9/10 Dec 11, 2023 Full Review Gremlins | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh A seasonal classic for good reason, its family-friendly frights successfully blend together humor and horror for an alternative to more traditional holiday viewings.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/13/24 Full Review Joseph C One of the best movies ever made. Cute to marvel at, tons of merchandising and marketing. Great performances by teenagers zach gagglian and pheobe cates. The sequel is an absolute must see as well. And the new re-boot Gremlins: Secrets of the mogwai tv show is top notch. Love Gizmo.
