Frightening/Intense Scenes: (Moderate) Some scene is pretty average in horror, not really frightening.
Story: A man receives a mysterious box containing a terrible secret, a creature that will kill everyone else in his family unless he passes it on to someone he loves to continue its never-ending circulation.
Likes: Gremlin isn't a reboot or remake that associated with the mogwai movies, this is a completely different type of story. Going into this film I didn't know what to expect hoping it would impress me in being a good movie as the premise of this film's background of the box is good in setting it tone but sadly this film lack's any impact in being great.
The acting is ok but amateurish with minimal effort in trying to carry this film forward which didn't appeal to me alone, at best this film is a typical Syfy channel movie. The only good thing is the visual effect which seems to have some budget which all the money has gone into as the creature itself is well designed with average C.G.I.
Sadly this film might appeal to the demographic that enjoy these low budget B movies which this film is, but if you looking for a well-made film with a better concept I would recommend avoiding this film as it not that great.
Dislikes: The premise of this film's creature is sadly wasted in this film, it due to the lack of imagination in the writers and the lack of budget, as this could've of been a well-made film with a great style that could've made this film a lot more frightening and more edger.
With the low budget and average acting, this just feels like the typical fake movies that we see on the Syfy channel that only appeals to certain audiences. Not a film I will buy or watch again
Overall: Average acting, great creature design, lacks impact due to low budget
Rating: 2 out of 5 for Entertainment / 2 out of 10 for the concept.
