Description:
A man buys a Mogwai as a Christmas present for his son. The young boy is told to keep the pet away from water, out of the light and never to feed it after midnight. Inadvertently, the creature is dampened and almost instantly, produces half a dozen furry replicas of itself --which continue to multiply and turn the small town upside-down.

Gremlins is a whee of a film (if you don't mind the occasional gross-out) from producer Steven Spielberg, writer Chris Columbus, and director Joe Dante. Zach Galligan is the young man whose inventor father (Hoyt Axton) gives him an odd Christmas present: a tiny, furry creature that comes with a set of rules: don't get him wet, don't feed him after midnight, and keep him away from direct sunlight. But Galligan breaks the first rule and the damp little critter pops out a dozen little offspring. Then the offspring break the second rule and, overnight, turn from cute furry guys to malevolent scaly guys with world domination on their mind. The only way to stop them: rule three. But it's an anxious (and extremely funny) battle to make it to daylight--and the bad gremlins find ways to multiply over and over. Great special effects and a gruesome sense of humor make this a wild (if occasionally dark and scary) ride. --Marshall Fine

Rating:  - Still Fun To Watch
I have started buying movies I enjoyed as a kid for my kids to watch. I haven't seen Gremlins in forever and it was still a very fun movie.
Rating:  - Terror wears the cutest faces!
Finally, a childhood favorite that doesn't qualify as coaster material. Gremlins is an 80's classic that still delivers the goods. The movie was well paced and the acting was solid. The characters were given enough time to be developed and they never came off annoying. The gore at times was something else and alot of the deaths were very creative. This is a flick chock full of hilarious moments and that was the intent. I rarely get into comedy horror but this is one of the few that I actually like. The soundtrack is your typical 80's cheese and fits very well with the movie.
This special edition comes with 2 commentaries, behind the scenes, and bios of the actors.
Rating: - The same great movie, but the images were dark (in my TV, at least)
I have always loved this movie, with it's strange and funny story. Watching it again after lots, and lots of years felt unusually good, and having my kids roaring with laughter (I had been telling them about the movie, and they were really eager to watch it) next to me felt even better. The images were dark, and I tried to fix it, but at the end gave up. Maybe it was just that I didn't know how to adjust properly the TV, and since I had not tried again, well...
Rating: - Relive Gremlins!
I watched this with my 8 yr old son. I remember why I loved it. I am so happy I own it. This movie is so completely adorable!
Rating: - delicious mischief
"Gremlins" is a heartwarming Christmas movie that your entire family will enjoy! When I think of classic Christmas movies such as "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Miracle on 34th Street" I always fondly recall "Gremlins." Because isn't it such a great Christmas movie that all the kids will love. Afterall, "Gremlins" has snow, and decorations and Christmas music and even those cute, furry little pe(s)ts!
Seriously though, I do love "Gremlins" because it's such a great example of a totally 80's movie! Beware if you were not a child of the 80's you may find this movie dated, corny and incredibly hokum. Come to think of it, even if you were a child of the 80's you may think that as well! But it doesn't matter because "Gremlins" is all good! When this movie first came out my parents absolutely forbid my brother and I from watching it. Of course we didn't listen to them though.
"Gremlins" was such a huge sensation; telling a kid that they couldn't see it would certainly constitute cruel and usual punishment! We even had our Gizmo stuffed animals and a few other things. Keep in mind that this movie spawned an entire genre of pseudo-horror flicks ("Ghoulies," and "Goonies " come to mind.)
"Gremlins" tells the hilarious story of what happens when you don't follow the rules and let your Mogwai run wild! Billy Peltzer (played by one-hit wonder, Zach Galligan) receives an early Christmas gift, courtesy of his father Randall (played by Hoyt Axton.) Billy is warned not to ever ... Read More
