Not as big a hit as it should have been, like so many Joe Dante films, even though this had many elements of Gremlins - to wit, boy and girl battle small creatures in small town, some good others bad. Maybe it lacked a Gizmo. I do think the opening sequence with Jay Mohr and Dennis Lear could've been cut and they could've just gone into the kids (I'm sure this was discussed). Also maybe the nice animals lack a bit of personality.
But when the soldiers go on the rampage it's a lot of fun. Kirsten Dunst is a star - the male not so much. The computer screens ad fringes and flannos date it in a 90s way.
