I haven’t rewatched it since childhood, but my vague recollections of Gremlins 2 strained through my modern brain’s taste filter bring me to the conclusion that the film might not be the Oscar ...

In the 'Gremlins' films, all of the creatures turn bad except for Gizmo. The original film's novelization gives us a strange reason for why.

Gremlins writer Chris Columbus had a darker movie in mind before Steven Spielberg decided to change the story.
