“The film showcases Dante’s two cinematic loves: 1950’s era sci-fi/horror and The Looney Tunes. The two forms merge together to create a cautionary tale of Christmas gifts gone awry. ”
“If you grew up in the ’80’s and remember a simpler time without cell phones or you want to introduce your kids to the “magic” of 1980’s films then Gremlins is a great place to start. ”
A small town is besieged by some furry and not-so-cute little creatures after a young man ignores the warnings of a wise elder regarding their care and feeding.
Gremlins is a wildly original roller-coaster ride of hilarious mischief! One minute your hair will stand on end, the next you’ll hold your sides with laughter at the havoc these supposedly gentle furballs create when the rules surrounding their care and feeding are inadvertently broken one fateful Christmas.
Written by Chris Columbus and directed by Joe Dante, Gremlins unleashes special effects that dazzle and enchant and merriment that lingers in the memory. And isn’t that “what superior popular moviemaking is all about” (Richard Corliss, Time).
