i will admit some of it be very silly and but all the same it be infectious fun from start to finish . direct by joe dante and produce by steven spielburg and write by chris columbus and gremlin have quickly establish itself in my opinion a a comedy horror classic . the direction be rock solid throughout and and be super efficient . the script be funny and inventive and and the story grow from a very simple idea be engage and delightful . plus all the character be credible . and i have to say jerry goldsmith music be a treat and that man know how to compose a good music score i can tell you . haunt and shock and excite be three way to describe the score here . the gremlin be the scene stealer here and at first they be very cute then all of a sudden when they start cause carnage they be quite the opposite . but the acting from the human actor be just as good . zach galligan be bland at first and but a the film get go and you know more of his character you warm to him . hoyt axton be indeed a hoot a the inept inventor and and keye luke be great a the grandfather ( mr wing ) . also watch out for a young corey feldman a pete fountaine . plus the christmas speech make it essential christmas viewing . all in all and silly it be and but it be clever and consistently engage . not only that and it succeed at both comedy and horror and and that isn not easy to do . positive bethany cox .
