USA | 106 min | PG | 35mm | Dir. Joe Dante
After his father brings him a mysterious new pet from Chinatown, life becomes strange for struggling cartoonist Billy. When he accidentally breaks the three rules governing his new friend Gizmo, the consequences quickly escalate as a rapidly growing mob of scaly little gremlins spreads chaos through the sleep and idyllic town of Kingston Falls. A dark, hilariously twisted and beloved off-beat classic from executive producer Steven Spielberg, the collision of gleeful anarchy and small-town sentimentalism plays like graffiti on a Norman Rockwell, and is "a wildly original roller-coaster ride of hilarious mischief." (Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine)
