Gremlins

Description

Gremlins is a 1984 American comedy horror film directed by Joe Dante. The plot follows a young man named Billy Peltzer who receives a mysterious creature called a mogwai as a pet, which then spawns other creatures who transform into small, destructive, evil monsters known as Gremlins. The film is a mix of black comedy and horror, as it explores the disastrous consequences of mishandling the mogwai, and the ensuing chaos caused by the Gremlins.

The film's concept was developed by Chris Columbus, who wrote the screenplay. It was produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment and released by Warner Bros. Pictures. Gremlins was a commercial success upon its release, grossing over $212 million worldwide against a budget of $11 million. It received generally positive reviews from critics and audiences alike, who praised its blend of humor and horror, as well as the creature designs and visual effects.

Despite the film's success, it also generated controversy due to its violent content, which led to the creation of the PG-13 rating in the United States. The film's popularity spawned a merchandising franchise, including toys, clothing, and video games. It also spawned a sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, which was released in 1990. A third film has been in development for several years, with Dante expressing interest in returning to direct, but as of 2021, no official confirmation has been made regarding its production.

Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.

If you ever thought that Scary Movie 5 is just a sequel of Scary Movie franchise, you may be wrong. Scary Movie 5 is more than a sequel, it's a more likely a reboot. Consider this: new director Malcolm D. Lee (Soul Men, Roll Bounce, Undercover Brother) and new writer, an iconic David Zucker (The Naked Gun, Airplane! – say "Hello!" to 80s' ). To complete the picture there is no less weird cast. Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen stars as themselves while Ashley Tisdale and Simon Rex play main characters Jody and Den, a young married couple in the center of paranormal activity occurring around them. All you need to know about Ashley Tisdale is that she previously starred mostly in TV series: Phineas and Ferb, Hellcats, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Kim Possible and Still Standing. As for Simon Rex his filmography sounds more "impressing" besides Scary Movie 4 and 3 he played Rise, Hotel California Pledge This! and King of the Avenue. So, what about the plot, you may ask. There is no surprise, since "lost footage" and "home surveillance-cameras" styled filming became popular, Scary Movie 5 must be done in the similar way. The story begins when Den and Jody move in their new house with a newborn baby. Strange and frightening things begin to happen in the first night of their staying. Not being able to solve the problem, the couple decides to ask professionals for help. The professionals, personalized in Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen arrive and … you may only imagine what a bizarre begins.
