Gremlins Ratings & Reviews
USA Today
Mike Clark
There's a problem with packing a film full of sly "in" references to past movies: If you know enough to get the jokes, you also know how infinitely superior the other films are.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Harper Barnes
There are moments of terror, and moments of humor, and some very skillful blendings of both.
USA Today
Jack Mathews
The gremlins are fabulous screen creatures.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
Jack Garner
Every frame of Gremlins is filled with visual delights -- it's hard to imagine a more densely packed motion picture.
News & Observer (Raleigh, NC)
James Calloway
"Gremlins" is enjoyably scary.
Newark Star-Ledger
Richard Freedman
The story is very funny, but remarkably devoid of Yuletide sentimentality.
Copley News Service
David Elliott
"Gremlins" is often a gas, yet it's also long, indulgent and almost crushingly synthetic.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
The visual effects are imaginative, yet the jokey tone too often throws the entire film off.
Horror Movie Talk
David Day
It's single-handedly responsible for a HUGE section of horror, now basically known as Gremlins knock-offs... Gremlins is an iconic movie in many ways. It's got Steven Spielberg's stink all over it despite being directed by Joe Dante.
CBR
David Reddish
More than 40 years on, Gremlins still has all the sweetness, adventure and irreverent humor that made it such a hit in the first place.
Casey's Movie Mania
Casey Chong
Gremlins benefits from [Joe] Dante's genre know-how direction on effectively blending creature horror with elements of dark and quirky comedies.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
A wildly original roller-coaster ride of hilarious mischief.
People Magazine
Peter Travers
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.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
A horror-comedy about cute little Christmas toy/pets who turn into murderous monsters wreaking havoc on a Norman Rockwellian town.
Variety
Variety Staff
The humans are little more than dress-extras for the mechanics.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
What's confusing yet ultimately illuminating is the way his gremlins function as a free-floating metaphor, suggesting at separate junctures everything from teenagers to blacks to various Freudian suppressions.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Dante is perhaps the first filmmaker since Frank Tashlin to base his style on the formal free-for-all of animated cartoons; he is also utterly heartless.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Gleefully mischievous and full of dark, magical energy.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
At the level of Serious Film Criticism, it's a meditation on the myths in our movies: Christmas, families, monsters, retail stores, movies, boogeymen. At the level of Pop Moviegoing, it's a sophisticated, witty B movie.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Gremlins is far more interested in showing off its knowledge of movie lore and making random jokes than in providing consistent entertainment.
