Gremlins 2: The New Batch
“Here they grow again.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 62, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Gizmo reaches a high-tech Manhattan tower, where a new generation of gremlins discovers the possibilities of a genetics laboratory. Joe Dante turns the sequel into a parade of creature variations, media jokes and attacks on its own format. Accomplished puppetry makes the deliberate chaos worth lingering over.
