A retro, schlocky but charmingly silly classic 80's film - Gremlins review by TB
Another classic 80's film remastered in 4K. Never seen this before but heard a lot about it.
There is lots to like here, including a great protagonist in Billy Peltzer and suitably nasty villains. The puppetry is also great.
However, it is also very schlocky and too long, plus around halfway through, it just loses its way. With some better editing and shaving off between 10-20 minutes of length, it could have been a brilliant classic. But still a decent watch and trip down memory lane.
