Gremlins
Film · 1984
After receiving an exotic small animal as a Christmas gift, a young man inadvertently breaks three important rules concerning his new pet, which unleashes a horde of malevolently mischievous creatures on a small town.
The sides of Gremlins
- A pet with three rules to keep
- A small town overrun at Christmas
- Creatures taking over a bar and a cinema
Gremlins is good for you if…
- you laugh at a Christmas film where everything goes badly wrong.
- you like creatures with teeth in the kitchen cupboards.
- you want puppets wrecking a bar.
Gremlins is bad for you if…
- you find eighties puppets and effects dated.
- you need something young children can watch without hiding behind the sofa.
- you'd rather not see small creatures killed off one by one.
