Gremlins (1984)

I really enjoyed it back in the day but I was too young to watch it at the cinema but I bought it on VHS and I thought it was great. I really bought this to see the film come to life with the picture upgrade, I was not dissapointed. I would not call it a horror movie but there were some moments to make you jump.

Well you can scrap the old 2009 blu-ray of this classic 80's film Warner bros have re-issued GREMLINS once again as 30th Anniversary edition this time with all new special features 2 Blu-ray Discs packed in a standard blu-ray case with the same cover art as the 2009 release actually i would've thought WB would have reprinted the artwork with 30th anniversary on it, back they havn't. ALL REGIONS BLU-RAY Disc 1 is exactly the same as the 2009 blu-ray release with runtime of 106mins, not 102mins like it says on the amazon listing the same Blu-ray transfer to, WB didn't bother giving a new Blu-ray transfer for this anniversary edition the 2 Audio commentaries, behind the scenes footage, additional scenes, theatrical trailers from the 2009 release are on this blu-ray Disc Disc 2 has all new content a 30min retrospective featurette with new interviews with writer Chris columbus, executive producer for Gremlins steven spielberg, Frank marshall, Director Joe Dante, Producer Michael Finnell and that's it. sadly the only Actor interviewed is Zach Galligan Phoebe Cates, Judge reinhold and Corey Feldman were not interviewed for this blu-ray release for some reason, maybe they refused to be interviewed. still a very interesting featurette a 2nd featurette FROM GIZMO TO GREMLINS- CREATING THE CREATURES a new interview with Chris Walas gives his recollection on making the creatures with added out-take footage goes for about 20mins and another behind the scenes featurette called Hanging with Hoyt which is on set footage during 1983 with Actor Hoyt Axton both the old extras and new extras could've easily fit with the film on 1 blu-ray Disc there's enough Data space for 1 blu-ray for sure, 3-4hrs of content can fit on 1 blu-ray Disc nowa-days but WB decided to stretch the material over 2 Discs the U.S. edition of this 30th anniversary blu-ray which is ALL REGIONS will be released Dec 9 in Diamond Luke packaging which is similar to fold out Digi-pak so it's up to you definitely time to upgrade get this U.K. release or wait til Dec9 for the U.S. edition. i gave it 5 stars based on the new special features worth the money for sure

Given as a gift.

These are the rules you must follow if owning a mogwai - No Water - No Food after Midnight - also ultra-sensitive to bright-light including the Sun. The story tells of how a struggling inventor Randall Peltzer (Hoyt Axton) visits a Chinese Antique Store in the hope of finding a Christmas present for his son Billy (Zach Galligan) who works at the local bank. In the store Randall hears a strange noise and is shown by the owners Grandson a strange cuddly-looking creature called a Mogwai which Randall immediately wants to buy, however the store owner refuses to sell, knowing his Grandfather needed the money the Grandson secretly sells the creature to Randall and explains the three rules of ownership. Billy when receiving the little fellah is delighted, and soon finds it wanting to interact. Billy calls it Gizmo. Billy shows Gizmo to a friend who accidentally spills a glass of water on the Mogwai, this triggers Gizmo to spawn 5 little-ones from its back. Billy goes on the next day on to show his former science teacher the phenomenon using one of the five spawned, the teacher, fascinated That night Billy is tricked by the mischievous little-one he's called stripe into giving them food after midnight (the electric lead to Billy's clock had been severed) Gizmo, refused the offer of food. The spawned Mogwai's become cocoons as does the one Billy's former teacher experimented with. The two most important rules had been inadvertently broken....the cocoons hatch, mischievous reptilian monsters emerge- GREMLINS. The little monsters will now set about ruining the Festive season in the small town of Kingston Falls. How can they be stopped? A fun-filled Comedy/Horror offering written by Chris Columbus and directed by Joe Dante with Steven Spielberg as executive producer. Myself, I probably haven't seen the film for some 30 years or so, and cannot make comparisons on the series of DVD/Blu-ray upgrades down the years. For myself, on the 4K format, though reportedly so much better in picture quality to the last Blu-ray release, I myself, though enjoying the spectacle for the first time in many a day thought the picture quality no better than I'd expect from a Blu-ray.(maybe just me ?) ''Hence the 4 Star-Rating.

I bought this because l like the pre-water versions who are cute and make a sweet little singing sound. Once they get wet, oh boy, not nice gremlins. Great 80’s nostalgia. I would recommend.

Good product at an excellent price and with prompt delivery.

A great Christmas movie I can watch time and time again. I know whats coming but I still love it. I just ADORE Stripe although I would not want him in my house. For anyone who does not know this story basically a loving father buys a strange creature for his son for Christmas and is told never to feed it after midnight, keep it out of sunlight and do not get it wet. Of course all of these things happen and from it the Gremlins are then born although it does not become one. The Gremlins wreak havoc as would be expected but eventually they are defeated and the creature is returned to its original owner who never wanted to sell it in the first place. There are some great 1 liners and a great scene where a Gremlin in a post box spits out some letters just posted and then proceeds ti try and eat the next person who posts something. Perfect family film and with a few subtle but social messages thrown in.

Gremlins is one of those classic 80's movies that just never gets old. A fun ride throughout, no matter how many times you watch it. The 4K transfer of this movie is absolutely stunning! Gremlins has never looked so good!

Be careful with your purchase of the 4K edition. It's advertised as a steelbook, but arrives in a standard case!

Buena película a buen precio. Tal como en la descripción. Sólo he echado algo en falta el doblaje al castellano, pero viene subtitulada, así que sin problema (de hecho todo viene perfectamente descrito)

Arrived quickly and in great condition. A wonderful classic to add to my collection. Many thanks!

A Great Timeless Classic Movie When It Came Out Long Time Ago. Very Funny

Title indicates this is a steelbook version. I would not have paid what I paid for a standard version. Rip off!!!
