Still love it after all these years

Rating: 10/10 (7 December 2004)

I first saw Gremlins around 1988, and have never grown tired of it. Stripe, Gizmo, and company were wildly thought up and put to life.
Billy Peltzer gets a bizarre pet for Christmas. A Mogwai, which originates from China. But beware there are 3 important rules that tag along with owning a mogwai.
1. Never get it wet. Don't give it any water to drink and don't ever give it a bath.
2. Keep it out of bright light. Especially sunlight, it could kill it.
3. And the most important rule of all. No matter how much it begs, don't ever feed it after midnight.
So of course after accidentally getting it wet the mogwai multiplies. Then thinking it's only 11:42 p.m., Billy decides to give the whole brood of creatures a batch of Kentucky Fried Chicken.
But of course Billy's clock had stopped! So now after emerging from a cocoon stage, Kingston Falls is blessed with little monsters called Gremlins, and Christmas will never be the same!
