Billy's dad thinks he's found the perfect present for his son when he discovers a Mogwai (a small, cute, furry animal that sings) in an old Chinese gift shop. But when Billy breaks the rules his dad passes on (don't ever feed them after midnight!), his hometown is in for a Christmas filled with terror. Gremlins became a smash holiday success that blends comedy, horror, homages to the creature films of the 50s, and jaw-dropping special effects that are still impressive over 25 years later.
