i can imagine every kid who ever saw this film beg and and i mean beg their parent for a mogwai for xmas . i probably do and i can not remember . and even if i do and i wouldn not admit to it . this film be great . spielberg have a hand in this film somewhere and you can feel it . yep and this one appeal to both kid and adult . a nice plot and some great sfx and animatronics and and some good act make this a film for nearly everyone . the initial story and about a boy who get a cute and fluffy pet for christmas and be know to everyone . the mogwai itself be sooooooo cute and and the way it speak and sing furthers it cute appeal . so it come a a shock when the boy who own him end up break the three important rule that he must abide by and and all hell break loose . don not fee them after midnight . don not get water on them . don not ever expose them to sunlight . all of these rule be break and and what ensue be comic or horror chaos . the gremlin themselves be nasty little thing . grrrrrr . they can either be out and out menacing and funny and stupid and or both at the same time . it be nice to see the mixture of comedy and horror in this film and and it work all the good for it . the music play a pivotal role in let u know when we should be scar or when we should laugh . it a weird kinda sound that be make and work well enough to suit the mood of the film . the one on one between billy and the stripe and be actually very tense and and violent . i mean chainsaw and razor sharp blade . phew . my review have so far be a mixture of comment in no particular order and so without more time be waste and go and watch this film . positive enjoy .
