Anyone else prefer this to Gremlins?


I've never been a big fan of Gremlins, but then I saw this and I loved it even though the story is quite similar. I just thought the town was better, the town folk funnier, the mother sexier, the kids better and everything else was awesome too.

Anyone else feel the same or am I the only one 

Very good. But brick not hit back!

Well Critters is way more adult. Gremlins was suburban and family-friendly, with no foul-mouthed kids and a polite drunkard. Even the pets are different - Barney the dog lets himself get strung up on the porch, whereas Chewie wouldn't go down without a fight.

This was more of a horror film than Gremlins. I never liked Gremlins but i love critters!

I did as a kid.

For me, Gremlins has some good moments (eg. the mum with the microwave, the teacher in the classroom, Dick Miller) but overall I find a bit too cutesy and uninteresting. Critters is a lot of fun with those bounty hunters and the way they go around blowing up stuff, driving cars backwards and into churches, and exploding doors to enter a house and stop The Crites.
