Gremlins

Gremlins

1984

When a man brings home an adorable creature from Chinatown as a Christmas present for his son Billy, the shopkeeper's sage advice -- no midnight snacks, no water, mood lighting only -- goes unheeded. As a result, devilish green creatures with a million vices take over the small town on Christmas Eve. This 1980s hit was written by Chris Columbus and executive produced by Steven Spielberg. Not recommended for your littlest monsters.

Cute. Clever. Mischievous. Intelligent. Dangerous.
