Gremlins (1984 ; 106 Brain Eaters ) : This American horror comedy film was written by Chris Columbus, directed by Joe Dante, produced by Steven Spielberg and released by Warner Bros. The budget was $11 million, it grossed around $153 million and was originally released June 8th of 1984 even though it was originally planned and scheduled for a Christmas release. The film stars Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates, Hoyt Axton, Frances Lee McCain, Corey Feldman, Howie Mandel as the voice of Gizmo, Frank Welker as the voice of Stripe and so on. The scene in the department store where Stripe attacks Billy with a chainsaw was not in the script. It was added by Joe Dante and Zach Galligan as a homage to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. The film was followed by a sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, released in 1990. In contrast to the lighter sequel, the original Gremlins opts for more black comedy. This is a perfect movie for christmas time!
When Billy Peltzer is given a small creature called a Mogwai by his father, he is unaware of the carnage he is about to encounter. There is a huge responsibility in looking after Gizmo as there are certain rules which must be followed. The Mogwai must be kept away from bright light, never made wet and never, ever be fed after midnight. When an accident occurs involving Gizmo and water, the next evolution stage of the Mogwai appears, and it isn't nice at all, minature green monsters tear through the small town of Kingston Falls.
