If you loved Gremlins 2: The New Batch, try The 'Burbs
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Joe Dante, and they both carry the playful mood tag, and they sit in Comedy / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Gremlins 2: The New Batch, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
playful
What The 'Burbs is
Suburban evening, lawn mowers silent, a welcome wagon unreturned. A neighborhood watches, suspicions simmer, a basement is suspected to hold more than just tools. Joe Dante perfectly balances humor and horror.
