Nato And Remy’s Last Stand: Cinema’s Most Adorably Deadly Creatures

Remy – The Fuzzies from Attack The Block

Man, I love this movie, and even if these little buggers will eat you alive or whatever, I still think they are kind of cute. They remind me of the CRITES from Critters (which is why the Crites are not on my list), but they just have this Jim Henson quality of cuteness to them. I realize the only reason I think they’re cute is because of how low budget the movie was, and for that reason, the creatures are not really creatures so much as they are vicious Tribbles (Star Trek reference), but still, any monster you can make with five dollars at a craft store is a monster that HAS to be cute, and to me, that is what these little vicious bastards are.

Remember, cute is in the eye of the beholder, so don’t try to tell me I am wrong. It’s an “opinion piece” and it seems the more and more Matt and I write, the more and more the concept of that escapes you all.

Nato – Gizmo/The Gremlins from Gremlins

Hi, I’m Matt Donato, and I have a Gremlins problem. You’d know this if you go back and read any of my other articles with Remy. But how does that adorable little Mogwai Gizmo get lumped in with a list of cute and cuddly killers? Because once you break the rules and Giz shoots out his mischievous offspring, you better run for your damn life.

The Gremlins themselves have a funny allure to them, although I wouldn’t call them cute, but there’s still a part of us that wants to keep a Gremlin. That’s until they hop in some construction vehicle and try to run you over, or tamper with your in-house stairlift so it goes flying off the tracks, of course. These vicious little miscreants will have you laughing at their antics, but once you let your guard down, they’ll be the only ones continuing that maniacal little cackle of theirs.

Gizmo brings the adorable factor, but the Gremlins bring the terror.
