phancy.com rating:

phancy.com notes: It's funny enough, but whenever I'd start getting into it, there'd be some casual racism, or a crass joke for the sake of a crass joke. It's constantly undermining it's own comedy. Best as late night fare, an MST3K session with friends, and/or the first of a double-feature of body-snatching.

Gremlins knockoffs live again in the alien impregnation horror-comedy Snatchers

While Snatchers is an above-average entry in the horror-comedy realm, it's not good enough to enter any sort of canon of proudly retro campy-splatter flicks. From the overly lit staging to the blunt-force editing and broad humor, it's a bit too sophomoric to rise above its place. Still a place it does have, and that place is "playing at 2 a.m. when you're deciding if it's worth it to DoorDash a frozen pizza and a bag of Tostitos."
