Hero Complex Gallery has released Gremlins giclee prints by Rich Davies. Two versions are available - with and without the title/credits - at 16x24 or 24x36. Priced at $45, each edition is limited to 250.
This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.
Gremlins has one scene, taking place in a classroom and lasting about a minute, where a damaged projector creates an extreme strobe effect. This happens shortly after someone dies in the classroom. Other strobe effects happen in scenes involving a microwave, a bubbling pool, a hijacked snowplow, and in an electrical box on a traffic light pole.
All of the camera work in this film is either stationary or very smooth. Some still camera angles are tilted sideways.
Flashing Lights: 7/10. Motion Sickness: 1/10.
TRIGGER WARNING: This film has disturbing creature effects and violence, more intense than most other PG-rated films, which, along with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, famously led to the creation of the PG-13 rating.
This evaluation is posted in celebration of violent Christmas movies, the latest one being Violent Night, now in theaters. Our evaluation of Violent Night is now available on our Patreon page at Patreon.com/MovieHealth, and will be posted on our Facebook and Tumblr pages on Tuesday, December 6.

I really thought I’d find at least one TDN song they liked, but nope … nary a one! Anyway, as I’ve done with my last few artist weeks, I’m using this last ‘wrap-up’ day to play a few that I didn’t get to. Just a short background blurb about each and…

Of conspirators who arrive and leave in mysterious black helicopters? The locals are terrified – and it falls to their new sheriff (JoBeth Williams) and a troubled cop (Robert Urich) to unravel an eerie skein of deception and danger to discover the stunning truth.
