\"\"<\/a>Gremlins<\/em><\/strong> is a very good mid-80s film that I might not have loved but still an enjoyable viewing experience every time I\u2019ve seen it over the years, and has excellent special effects with the Mogwais.<\/p>\n

THE MOVIE \u2014 4.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>When\u00a0 Billy (ZACH GALLIGAN) receives an adorable, mysterious pet named Gizmo (voiced by HOWIE MANDEL) for Christmas from his gadget-creating father (HOYT AXTON), he\u2019s given three rules for its care: Don\u2019t get them Wet. Don\u2019t expose them to bright light. Don\u2019t feed them after midnight. In advertently he breaks the rules, and a resulting army of duplicate furballs wreaks havoc throughout the town.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: <\/strong>The 1984 hit fantasy-comedy Gremlins<\/em><\/strong> that I really didn\u2019t grow up watching all that much (mid-to-late 80s were spent on Ghostbusters<\/em>, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles<\/em> and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe<\/em>) but I did see it somewhere in the 90s and always found it to be a cute and fun little film, but it\u2019s never been a favorite of mine (and actually think Gremlins 2: The New Batch<\/em> to be better).<\/p>\n

That being said, it\u2019s perfectly entertaining and the technical, special effects work was pretty top-notch and of course Gizmo himself is a cute furry creature, its near-undetectable speaking voiced by Howie Mandel. The human cast led by Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates were fine, of course, but the Gremlins (a.k.a. Mogwai) are the stars of this Joe Dante (Innerspace<\/em>) helmed film.<\/p>\n
