Joe Dante's 'Gremlins 2: The New Batch' is certainly one of the wackiest sequels ever made. It has a huge amount of self referencing comedy, slapstick and some really creepy scenes. This light hearted sequel to the 1984 horror/comedy 'Gremlins' takes place in a New York office building. Ran by millionair Daniel Clamp (John Glover)it has everything from a cable network to a genetics lab which is leaded by the great Christopher Lee as Dr. Catheter. When Gizmo's owner Mr. Wing (Key Luke) passes away the poor Mogwai is taken to the Clamp Center. There he is found by none other but Billy Peltzer (Zach Galligan) and Kate Beringer (Phoebe Cates) who try to keep him safe. However Gizmo doesn't obey and within minutes he spawns a new batch of evil Mogwais headed by the reincarnation of Stripe: Mohawk.
And soon enough the Clamp Center is overrun by Gremlins, who seem to be very sensitive to genetic manipulation. The soundtrack is once again from Jerry Goldsmith, who delivers an inventive and really wacky score. 'Gremlins 2: The New Batch' and its soundtrack are property of Warner Bros. Studios. |
