At a time of the 80s and animatronics were the bee's knees and none of the CGI crap we have today, you gotta hand to the creators who gave us reasons to follow the rules of new pets. Joe Dante's Gremlins is an absolutely, amazingly fun time. The concept of the Gremlins themselves being so intriguing and fun, and face it, Gizmo is one of the cutest creatures that even I wanted the real thing.
The Gremlins do steal the show, the actors do make it better and the narration by Hoyt Axton at the start on how he was looking for a new pet for his son Zach Galligan who does and doesn't break the rules (mere accident shall we say). Corey Feldman plays the young friend of Billy and Phoebe cates as the love interest. It's one of the best comedy-horrors for this festive period and a great background score by legendary Jerry Goldsmith. | BBC News report from 1984
