So the title is pretty straightforward I’m hoping to get some suggestions on what these two films can be, so I’ve got some descriptions of both some scenes and the monsters, if yall can’t help me that’s fine I’m sure they’ll pop up eventually anyways
So the first has a teenage guy and his girlfriend in damn sure there was a girl with him and they are running from this little furry creature, it’s like a gremlin but not a gremlin the one shot of it was a shot at its side it was furry you could see an arm with big claws on it, the creature wasn’t very big but it terrorized everyone in the movie but those are the two details I remember from that one, the film is say would be late 80s maybe mid 90s.
The next movie took place in an abandoned part of a city in an abandoned building, there was rubble everywhere like the city was demolishing it maybe, but these two cops one female and one male are called or sent to this building and when they are getting out they get a glimpse of the monster it’s just a shadow up in the third or second floor that moves away from the window but it causes them to draw their sidearm and point it at the window, so they go in and the guy is killed somehow and the girl ends up calling for backup, this team maybe swat end up going into the building g where they too are slaughtered save for one guy, who tells the girl that “That thing can’t reach the surface”
So this monster is bipedal (it autocorrected to Biden 😭) and the girl actually knocks it unconscious I’m pretty sure she was strung up when she did that, but this monster the Face I’d say it looked like that one monster from the “Silent hill 2 return to silent hill” movie with saw disks coming out of its face and head, but it didn’t have the saw disks, it had those same features though like the mouth was full of sharp teeth, anyways hoping this is the right place for it, anyways hope ya guys are having a blessed day, praise to the Allfather.
That's what I thought, but it doesn't sound exactly correct.

There were a handful of Gremlins knockoffs around that time that you might be thinking of. Critters? Ghoulies? Troll?

Not the relic, the monster was bipedal, walked on two feet, it had the same mouth and face as that monster from the second silent hill film with the saw blades coming out of its head minus the blades

Everyone is saying critters but that would have more memoriable bits than what you described.
Maybe Munchies?
Potentially Ghoulies (theres like 3 Ghoulies movies).
Was also Puppetmaster, small 'creatures' but no furry one.
The Gate also has small little guys, but more like hairless rat looking things.

I’ve no idea on the 2nd one, but the first one made me think of Critters. If not that, maybe the little creature from Trilogy of Terror?

Trilogy of terror, you know I saw the front cover of that in a video with some “slasher” movie store and it kinda rung a bell, it had me interested and reminded me of the little furry creature with the claws although you can’t see it on the front cover

Since we're asking about childhood horror films; does anyone know this one?;
I think it's from the 80s, american.
All I remember is a boy who is or pretended to be a vampire. And at the end, a priest or older man finds him asleep and drives a stake into his heart just as the boy wakes up.
I want to say this is a grindhouse type film but I don't know for sure.
I saw it once only with innocent eyes and this is all I remember (if correctly)

Sounds like Critters. Critters 3 was Leonardo DiCaprio's film debut...

These sound like some classic B-movies that are so bad they're good. The first one sounds like a knockoff of Gremlins and the second one has a creature that looks like it belongs in a video game. Gotta love 80s/90s horror.

The second one is ardrenalin fear the rush, it is Grade A classic horror imo, its intense, I gotta look into the first film though I’m sure its critters too but I gotta find out which one

Everyone is saying critters, but I think the "arm with big claws" pretty much elimates them. They just bite.

Yeah no this one clawed I think I remember it clawing the boyfriends back in one scene, but don’t quote me on that

Nope I think I would’ve remembered it as the gremlins, that movie was pretty widespread and mainstream
