this is the 3rd time purchasing this movie,this 4k version is the best of the three: dvd/blu-ray hd/blu-ray 4k. Was a great purchase, and the steelbox limited art was the icing on the cake. Can't wait for best buy's 4k steelbox release of Gremlins 2: The New Batch 4k

This is a KILLER steelbook, the art is awesome, and gremlins is such a great classic. Perfect for the collection.

A classic 80s movie. A fun Christmas story with a little bit of horror that starts with a cute pet mogwai named Gizmo till water spills on him and start mayhem in a small town. Always follow the rules!

It looks as though someone tried to bend the steelbook in half. Hopefully my local store has it in stock and are able to do a curbside exchange.

A funny family horror-comedy with charming puppetry! Joe Dante's wickedly funny family horror-comedy Gremlins (1984) is a witty satire on American culture and behavior through the eyes of a little creature named Gizmo. Gremlins takes American movies, music, television, food, school, police, family, holidays, consumerism, and banking then throws them in a microwave. Chris Columbus' script is filled with great jokes for the parents that your children need not understand, while there is plenty of cute material for the kids. Joe Dante and Chris Columbus create a dynamic duo of deadly disasters and delightful parody of American society. The dog Barney just steals the show. He's a very expressive little dog that reacts to the puppets in front of him in an adorable way. The first Mogwai Gizmo is an articulate puppet, who is likewise adorable. His singing, mumbling, speaking, and motion make Gizmo one of cinema's greatest puppets. All the Gremlins are pretty impressive from a technical viewpoint as they move and behavior so humanlike. Anyways, Barney the dog and Gizmo the Mogwai are resplendent aspects to Gremlins' overall charm. Dante's direction is slick with neat mid shots and fast cuts to keep the audience believing that the Gremlins are real. The cute Mogwai are shot in a way that they look better in the dark, dry, and not eating too much with their little mouths. Dante makes great use of fake snow falling, large city sets, a hand painted background painting, realistic puppets, moody lighting, atmospheric fog, excessive random toys and detailed props, and mini models for destructive purposes. Dante brings a charm to Gremlins as everything feels lovingly crafted for the movie and it shows. Zach Galligan is surprisingly endearing and likable as the lead Billy. I love the scene where he asks out Phoebe Cates. Hoyt Axton is funny as a failed inventor, yet decent father figure named Rand. Frances Lee McCain is sweet and cool as Billy's mother Lynn. Phoebe Cates is adorable as Billy's love interest and a hater of Christmas named Kate. Her monologue about her father is actually rather gripping and moving despite the ridiculous premise. Belinda Balaski is really innocent and moving in a supporting actress role as a poor mother trying to make her rent payments named Mrs. Harris. Michael Winslow did many vocal sound effects for the Mogwai. Howie Mandel even voices Gizmo! John Louie is immediately intriguing as the young Chinese boy desperate for cash. I adore the performance from Keye Luke as Grandfather. His mystique and gravitas add a lot to Gremlins. He even states the message of Gremlins to the audience directly just in case you didn't get it. Judge Reinhold has a supporting role as the sleazy and conservative Gerald. Jonathan Banks, of Breaking Bad fame, even has a neat role as the scared officer Deputy Brent. Scott Brady is funny as the skeptical Sheriff. A young Corey Feldman plays around for some laughs as Pete. Polly Holliday is cruel and convincing as Mrs. Deagle. Dick Miller and Jackie Joseph are really fun as Mr. and Mrs. Futterman. I really like the science teacher Hanson out of his element as portrayed by the spirited energy of Glynn Turman. Jerry Goldsmith's score is fun and light-hearted with enough energy and darkness for a horror movie theme. You feel the Spielberg vibe from the music to the child friendly comedy. Sure it slows down in the second half due to the story being mostly done and chaos ensues, but it's an enjoyably wild ride. Gremlins gives satire for adults and laughs for children. It's a triumph of Joe Dante's visionary direction and Chris Columbus' witty screenwriting. History will show that Gremlins is Joe Dante's greatest film and a wonderful family film!

The 4K disc is like a mind-blowing trip to the '80s, man. The picture quality is so sharp, it's like those little green monsters are jumping right out of the screen and into your living room. And let me tell you, the special effects are still killer, dude. So grab a bag of munchies, turn up the volume, and get ready for a wild ride with "Gremlins" in 4K!!

Gremlins is one of those timeless movies you can love at every age. As a kid, you’ll enjoy the thrills and scares, as an adult you’ll love the fun and comedic moments! This film holds a lot of nostalgia for a lot of people as it works on so many levels. Seeing it upgraded into crystal clear 4K, it hugely benefits from the perfected black levels and enhanced sound. The UHD HDR color effects also make for a dynamic viewing experience. You also get a free digital redemption code and a host of new special features to commemorate the 35th anniversary!!

One of my all-time favorite Christmas movies gets a beautiful 4K transfer. The picture and sound on this release were great for me. I thought the picture looked excellent. The film still holds up and it was so nice to see some care was taken to get this released for 4K. Viewed on a Samsung 65" Q80 Series TV with a Samsung Q60 Series soundbar.
