Gremlins is a great, classic 80s film with a unique blend of adorable and dark.
Just typing those last few words makes this reviewer feel very, very old.
On the audio side of things, the news is better.
The upgraded surround mix is active, vibrant and effective.
You also get a very tatty looking featurette from the time of the films release.
You also get a gallery, some extra scenes and trailers.
Ive deliberately left the film until last, though.
Ive long been a massive fan ofGremlins, even though I have a sneaking preference for its sequel.
Its tonally quite dark (more so with this first film), and is bursting with classic moments.
Has it stood the test of time?
Yes, it has, albeit with one or two slight frays around the edges.
Its certainly one that deserved a better Blu-ray release, too…
