Gremlins Movie Review: An eccentric inventor (Hoyt Axton) brings an unusual Christmas gift home for his son Billy (Zach Galligan). It is a cute, real life teddy bear called Mogwai. He obtains it from a Chinese trinket store. Upon purchase, the shopowner (Keye Luke) offers two strict warnings: don’t let Mogwai come into contact with water; and don’t feed him after midnight. Inevitably, both these stipulations are ignored, and the cuddly creature begins to spawn some distinctly unruly offspring.
