It's full of the 80s teenage adventure cheesiness, cute cuddly creatures, and creepy monsters. Gremlins radiates the same classic spirit and tone as other films of the time, like The Goonies or E.T., but Gremlins adds a little hor…

    When his gadget-peddling dad returns home one evening with an early Christmas present, he tells “Billy” (Zach Galligan) that he must take extra care not to get it wet, nor to expose it to bright light and - most importantly, no nibbles after midnight. That might have been ok, save for his friend who accidentally breaks one of the rules. One becomes two, becomes four, becomes… They are quite cute and cuddly little cri…
