GREMLINS (1984) REVISITED: The Ultimate Creature Feature

In 1984, Gremlins helped redefine the creature feature. Utilizing some of the most practical puppet effects to date, it spawned a beloved franchise that’s rewatched every holiday season. Boasting the powerhouse pedigree of Stephen Spielberg, Joe Dante, Chris Columbus, and special effects guru Chris Walas, this horror comedy still holds up.
