When Mrs Deagle barges into the bank early on and outright tells Billy she’s going to kill his dog, specifically saying she’ll throw Barney into the drier and some rando customer nonchalantly says “yup, that’ll do it” without batting an eye.
When the mom is killing gremlins in the kitchen, there was a sequence cut where she stabs one in the stomach with a kitchen knife and the thing is trying to pull the knife out. Spielberg/Dante ultimately cut this particular sequence because even they said it was too dark…but if you pay attention during the kitchen scene you can still see that gremlin in the background on the counter writhing with a kitchen knife in its gut.
Then the whole movie goes completely off the rails during the scene at the bar. This moment seems like the director/writers/producers just said fuck it.
They’re playing cards and one shoots another in the face for cheating
That sudden left turn in Gremlins scarred young me, but not as much as Billy’s total lack of interest in her story.
That movie has a couple hard quick turns.

The Flashdance parody
The blues gremlin
One playing with a puppet
The scene at the bar is where I realize I associate more with the gremlins.
