There are only three rules to abide when owning a Mogwai: keep them away from bright light, never make them wet and never, ever feed them after midnight.

So when young Peter accidentally breaks two of the three rules with cutie pie pre-Christmas present Gizmo, he unleashes an ugly copy of terrorizers known as Gremlins. As they are designed to do, the Gremlins wreak havoc upon Pete’s small town and have a particular interest in electronics and mechanical devices. Consider this movie the ultimate pet-ownership guide.
