10 Horror Movies That Turned Wimps Into Total Badasses

10. Gizmo - Gremlins 2: The New Batch

He might not be human, but he certainly earns his stripes - or spots, really - throughout the second Gremlins movie, as Gizmo transforms from lovable Mogwai into murderous, vengeance-dealing furball.

Taken to be experimented on by scientists after the death of his owner, poor little Gizmo gets hit with an errant drinking fountain that spawns more new Mogwai, who then devour their building's food court and become the titular Gremlin menace that only gets more unruly as the movie goes on.

With more and more Gremlins emerging, Gizmo ends up locked away, is routinely and maliciously tortured, and just downright trodden all over by his horrible Gremlin peers. It's only right that he gets one big moment to redeem the horrorshow he's been though.

And eventually, he's taken about all the sh*t he can handle. Gizmo grows some furry little nadgers and kills the Mohawk Gremlin with a flaming bottle of white out that he shoots with a bow and arrow. If there's any justice in this world, it's on the end of Gizmo's makeshift archery.

Don't f*ck with the OG.
