Review:
A movie which stresses the importance of pet care...or rather following the instructions on exotic pets. Any how, if you don't already know our hero is given a Mogwai (Gizmo), and he's given instructions not to feed him after midnight, not to get him wet and no bright light. Well of course all three are forgotten and soon the adorable Gizmo is changed into a monsterous gremlin. It's a pretty cute little film which isn't likely to satisfy someone looking for a straight up horror film, but it's more of an '80s comedy with a bunch of little green monsters. Definitely a classic, but don't expect a slash fest or anything!
