overrun by the mogawis

Rating: Null/10 (22 May 2004)

In this daft movie, a teenage American boy gets an unusual creature for his birthday, a cute, furry little creature called a Mogwai. There are just certain rules you need to follow like don't leave him in the sun, don't get him wet ... the fun starts as soon as the boy starts forgetting the rules.
When the Mogwais become Gremlins and you realise they really are horrible little killers rather than the little cuties you thought they were, the movie gets really funny. There's a scene where the Gremlins are singing 'Heigh Ho' which is hilarious. The film also had a fabulous theme with all the little voices squeaking away together. The creatures are far more memorable than the humans who appear (notably Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates).
