GREMLINS 3 (2024) Steven Spielberg | New upcoming 4K movies

The teaser trailer for “Gremlins 3” (2024) marks the return of the mischievous and terrifying creatures that captured audiences decades ago, with legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg at the helm. This long-awaited sequel brings back the mix of horror, dark comedy, and chaos that fans love, while introducing a new generation to the terrifyingly cute Mogwai.

The trailer opens with a nostalgic nod to the original films: the soft chime of Gizmo’s familiar tune plays as we pan through a quiet, snow-covered small town during Christmas. The camera zooms in on a cozy home where Gizmo, the beloved Mogwai, peeks out from behind a Christmas tree, his wide, innocent eyes filled with curiosity.

A voiceover from a mysterious character begins: “It’s been quiet for so long… but some things should stay forgotten.”
Suddenly, the peaceful atmosphere is shattered as we hear eerie, sinister laughter, and the trailer flashes to scenes of chaos—gremlins running wild, wreaking havoc on the town. They’re back, and this time, they’ve evolved.

We’re introduced to new characters, including a young scientist who, in her curiosity, accidentally sets off a chain of events that unleashes the gremlins once more. As the gremlins multiply and wreak havoc, the townspeople find themselves in a desperate fight for survival against the unpredictable creatures.

The Gremlins 3 story explored the history and mythology of the creatures. The Christmas season is typically an unfavorable time to release a horror film. However, back in 1984, Warner Bros. and Steven Spielberg decided to challenge that notion. Not only did the two cinematic powerhouses opt to release what was a somewhat family-friendly monster movie, but they also set the film during the holidays. The end result was Gremlins, a hugely successful, terrifying and fun romp that kick-started a sort of mania over creatures called Mogwais and Gremlins.

After its initial success in 1984, Spielberg and co. decided to give the concept another go, delivering Gremlins II: The New Batch in 1990. The sequel failed to come anywhere near the success of its predecessor, indicating that perhaps the Gremlins mania that had so tightly gripped the 80’s was officially over. However, fans have always maintained that a third Gremlins needed to be made and a third entry has been teased for quite some time. Now, details about what a third movie would have entailed have been revealed.
