Gremlins
(Gremlins)
Synopsis
Young Billy Peltzer's everyday smalltown life is given a lift when his travelling salesman father Rand buys him the ultimate Christmas gift in a far-off Chinatown--the mogwai--an adorable little big-eared, furry, brown and white creature. But the old man who sold the creature gave three rules that must always be followed when caring for the mogwai: 1) no water 2) no food after midnight 2) no bright lights (sunlight will kill him). When Billy inadvertently violates these first two rules, the small town of Kingston Falls is turned upside down by a legion of green, nasty gremlins!
