"Gremlins 2: The New Batch" is a comedy-horror movie that was released in 1990. It is a sequel to the original "Gremlins" movie, which was released in 1984. The movie is set during the Christmas season, but it is not a traditional holiday film like "A Christmas Story" or "It's a Wonderful Life." Instead, "Gremlins 2: The New Batch" is a dark and twisted comedy that features plenty of action, humor, and special effects.
