Plot Synopsis: When Billy (ZACH GALLIGAN) receives an adorable, mysterious pet named Gizmo (voiced by HOWIE MANDEL) for Christmas from his gadget-creating father (HOYT AXTON), he’s given three rules for its care: Don’t get them Wet. Don’t expose them to bright light. Don’t feed them after midnight. In advertently he breaks the rules, and a resulting army of duplicate furballs wreaks havoc throughout the town.This is one UHD presentation that I had been extremely excited about. There are very noticeable improvements over the unimpressive and outdated Blu-ray from 2009. Fine detail shows vast improvement. Keep in mind that the film is visually fairly reserved with brown, grey, and muted colors for the most part. For collectors like myself, the old disc will become a frisbee. That said – is this UHD impressive on par with the amazing presentations we have seen on newer films or Close Encounters of the Third Kind? Not so much. But fans of the film are going to be excited to finally have a truly quality release of this classic film. Audio: How’s it sound?

Oh, those adorable, undeniably cute mogwais of Gremlins with their sweet, little smiles and how they roll their eyes at you. Who wouldn't want one in their house and record those lovable furballs for hours as they play toy trumpets, hum to their heart's content and model a Santa hat.

Gremlins Film Review

The Glasgow Film Theatre have announced their Christmas line up to get the city in the festive spirit next month. All of this “deep” thought aside, Gremlins is a wildly fun movie, and one of my staple Christmas watches for the last 20+ years. The movie gets better and better with age, and the new 4K UHD release only sweetens the pot. Sadly I really was hoping for Warner to release Gremlins 2 at the same time on 4K UHD, but I guess we’ll just have to make do with the original for now. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment’s 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital Code of Gremlins gives this comedy classic the best presentation yet possible, showing how top quality hard-media home video blows away compressed video streams. Gremlins is a blast. The film still has a devoted following thirty-five years since it was released for a reason. I consider it to be one of the funniest family films to ever be released and fans of Joe Dante will adore it. There are not that many family films that I re-watch every year, but this film makes the cut. Video: How’s it look? Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post.

Audio Commentary with Eric Reich, Troy Benjamin, Chris Stewart, Ashley Victoria Robinson, and Sean Bishop Note: The screen captures were taken from the Blu-ray disc and do not represent the 4K Ultra HD transfer. Jerry Goldsmith’s delightful score helps maintain the farcical tone, in case any particular gag scores as too much of a gross-out. The main ‘circusy’ theme should have been adopted by fun-fair carousels. Lastly, the practical special effects hold up really well here for a film celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. It’s a very solid 4K presentation in terms of video quality, the cropping and incorrect aspect ratio are forgivable, and it in comparison to the Blu-ray can be impressive. Still, it’s not quite as amazing visually as some of you might have expected it to be. I personally find it to be impressive and a nice improvement. Sorry.Motion Comics: Gremlins– The Gift of the Mogwai– and Gremlins– The Last Gremlin– these two motion comics recap the film. This is the same batch of vintage material as before. The additional scenes are good, and I particularly like Trailer #2, which playfully opens with the Handel music from Barry Lyndon before revealing itself. There’s also a Digital code on a paper insert. Inventor/Salesman Randall Peltzer (Hoyt Axton) stumbles across a mysterious fluffy creature called a Mogwai in an old Chinese artifact shop, and ends up slipping it out under the owner’s nose (against his recommendation) as a Christmas present for his son Billy (Zach Galligan). Billy is ecstatic about his gift, and even accepting of the strict rules that the shop owner’s son gave Randall. Don’t subject them to bright lights, don’t get them wet, and DO NOT feed them after midnight. However, as these things go, the new pet (dubbed Gizmo) is soon subjected to a little bit of water, prompting a form of mitosis wherein Gizmo spawns dozens of fluffy little clones. These clones are not exactly nearly as nice as Gizmo is though, and after Billy sends off one of the clones to a lab where it is subjected to the before mentioned feeding after midnight, things get out of control. Further addendum: The "Video" score of 2.5 has been copied from Dustin Somner's 2009 review. I have not newly Stephen King nailed John Carpenter’s Halloween as an expression of the traditional ‘campfire horror tale.’ The narrative launch pad for Gremlins is the cautionary scare fable, like The Monkey’s Paw. A person is put to an ethical test, and when he fails, all Hell breaks loose. The twist here is that Columbus and Dante don’t sweat the moral mechanics, and instead exploit the idea’s abundant potential for absurdity. We’re eager for the Mogwai to get wet and be fed after midnight, to see chaos loosed on the movie screen. It’s a horror picture, yet Delightful.
