Gremlins 2: The New Batch
The New Botch, hadn't we better say? These ones are not meaner, but somehow, stomach-turningly uglier, once they get into a genetics lab (Splice o' Life, Designer Genes) and begin crossbreeding with vegetables and spiders and whatnot. And they've moved on from small town to Big Apple, specifically to the corporate headquarters of a tycoon called Clamp (Trump plus Turner). This broadens the scope of the satire, or just broadens the satire; it doesn't broaden the grin in response to it. Or non-grin. With Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates, John Glover, Christopher Lee, Robert Prosky, and Dick Miller; directed by Joe Dante. 1990.
