"What better way to celebrate Christmas than by watching the holiday genre gem known as GREMLINS? ... it's a wild, unique, inventive and extremely enjoyable B Movie that goes all out in the fun factor while sprinkling messy, gooey moments here, there and everywhere." - ARROW IN THE HEAD MOVIE REVIEWS
Spend the holidays with a bunch of creepy, nasty, smelly critters who want to make your life a living hell ... and we're not talking about your relatives, we're talking GREMLINS. Director Joe Dante's hilariously funny, wickedly scary 1984 film is about a loveable, furry little Christmas gift that multiplies into many little Christmas gifts, with savage consequences.
Rand Peltzer (Hoyt Axton) is an inventor who hasn't successfully invented anything. But this Christmas he's bringing his family something special--a small, cuddly creature known as a mogwai. The little fella comes with three crucial instructions. He's not to be fed after midnight, he's not to get any direct light and he should never be given so much as a drop of water. If Rand and his son Billy (Zach Galligan) can adhere to these rules they can avoid the otherwise tragic consequences. Unfortunately, the rules are harder to stick to than it seems, and suddenly Billy finds himself with far too many "pets," all with sharp teeth and big appetites. It's up to Billy and his girlfriend (Phoebe Cates) to stop the mischievous gremlins before they ruin Christmas for the residents of rural Kingston Falls.
A surprise blockbuster that outraged parents with its surprisingly nasty (for a PG-rated film aimed at kids) violence, GREMLINS features a hard-to-beat combination of horror and humor (who can forget Phoebe Cates' disturbing story about the dead Santa stuck in her chimney?), spawning a rash of inferior rip-offs (are you dying to see Munchies again?) and one great sequel, GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH.
