Plot: Joe Dante's hilariously funny, wickedly scary 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 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. GREMLINS features a delightful combination of horror and humor that introduced Gizmo and his wild relatives to an entire generation of young

 The stuff is just impossible to forget and gets stuck in your head like a bad song. Chances are you'll remember it forever. The reason is because it's just a spectacular film. Terribly underrated but a high memory for most people, the movie is wildly original and the visuals are just magic.--Sonny Fernandez (Diabolical-Dominion.com)
Director Joe Dante has never been able to capture the spirit of this again and it’s too bad because this film is still a blast almost twenty(!) years after its release. ... Packed with lots of creativity, Chris Walas’ fun creatures and a good cast this is great, great fun.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
