But there are three rules his son Billy's new pet must live by. It must never eat after midnight, never get wet, and stay out of bright light! And... the son breaks all three. Catchy, tinny musical accompanies hellish hordes of small green monsters as they terrorize a small town at Christmastime. The Gremlins seem unconcerned with the mayhem they create, and more interested in gorging and destruction. Billy and Gizmo then have to rid their hometown of these vicious monsters before they harm anyone else. Chaos ensues. <hr width=15% align=left><table><tr><td><img src="/rarrow.gif"></td><td>Have you seen this film?
