The premise

Young sweethearts Billy and Kate move to the Big Apple, land jobs in a high-tech office park and soon reunite with the friendly and lovable Gizmo. But a series of accidents creates a whole new generation of Gremlins. The situation worsens when the devilish green creatures invade a top-secret laboratory and develop genetically altered powers, making them even harder to destroy!

Horror Vault's take

Billy and Kate have traded small-town life for the gleaming towers of New York City, but trouble follows in the cutest, most destructive form imaginable — Gizmo is back, and so are the rules nobody ever learns to follow. When a new batch of Gremlins overruns a state-of-the-art skyscraper packed with cutting-edge labs, the results are wilder and weirder than anything that came before. The sequel cranks the mayhem to eleven by letting its creatures absorb bizarre new abilities, turning the building into an anarchic playground of mutation and mischief. Equal parts monster movie and gleeful Hollywood send-up, it's a film that revels in its own absurdity.
