JULY 17 & 20
A man returns home with a gift for his son: a cute, cuddly creature that makes a great pet…so long as strict rules are followed. They’re not, of course, and soon malicious “gremlins” are wreaking havoc. Joe Dante (Twilight Zone: the Movie) directed from a script by Chris Columbus (The Goonies). Billed as a comedy horror movie, some violent scenes prompted the creation of the PG-13 rating for future films. (“Never feed him after midnight.”)
1984
