Gremlins
 

This might be a stupid question for some, but is Gremlins considered a horror movie??? I always thought it was a horror-comedy, but is it even horror at all?

One of it's many genres is "Horror" so yeah it's considered a Horror film.
The last half of the film is pretty intense IMO, and is not comedic at all.

how is gremlins not comedic. i really don't see how it classifies it as horror i see it as being in there w/ movies like disney for the family. i even seen at stores the movie willow is under the childrens movies but to me i would think of it as a action movie or fnatasy not a childrens movie. to me gemlins is more of a childrens movie then horror

I meant the end when Stripe goes Balistic on Billy.

The rest is comedic but not the last battle.

ok, what about Gremlins 2?

Edit:I am watching Gremlins right now.

That IMO is a horror spoof along the lines of Saturday The 14th and a Looney Tunes Cartoon.

Director Joe Dante is a huge Looney Tunes fan and he wanted that film to resemble a Looney Tunes cartoon.

Damn, Dante just directed The Awful Looney Tunes Back In Action.lol.

same here otis lol. its on sci fi. i love gremlins 2. i like it more then the 1st one

O no doubt, 2 is far superior and much more fast paced.
Plus it has a gazillion in-jokes which makes it fantastic.

I still consider them in the horror genre though.
Albeit mixed with a few other genres as well.

IMDB and other movie sites list them as "Horror" Comedy" Action"
"Suspense".

I think movie critics would lable anything that has gremlins like the ones in the movie as horror.

Don't get me wrong, there are gremlins in children's movies, but they don't look the same, for obvious reasons :P

It's not straight out Horror but like I said the ending is quite intense and Violent.
