About
Go for it if you want a fast, irreverent gremlin rampage with inventive creature variations and lots of laughter; Not for you if you prefer a more serious horror vibe like Arachnophobia or Tremors, or if you want a tighter plot.
Pros: uproarious dark humor; inventive gremlin designs; surprisingly witty moments | Cons: plot feels unfocused; too over-the-top; violence may be intense
