Gremlins

“Cute. Clever. Mischievous. Intelligent. Dangerous.”

A small furry creature arrives as a Christmas gift, and with it come three rules that nobody takes seriously enough. Billy (Zach Galligan) brings it home to his small town, where his father Rand (Hoyt Axton) and his friends all gather around the new pet. Joe Dante plays the whole thing like a holiday comedy that keeps getting its fingers caught in the horror.
