Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Gremlins is a whee of a film (if you don't mind the occasional gross-out) from producer Steven Spielberg, writer Chris Columbus, and director Joe Dante. Zach Galligan is the young man whose inventor father (Hoyt Axton) gives him an odd Christmas present: a tiny, furry creature that comes with a set of rules: don't get him wet, don't feed him after midnight, and keep him away from direct sunlight. But Galligan breaks the first rule and the damp little critter pops out a dozen little offspring. Then the offspring break the second rule and, overnight, turn from cute furry guys to malevolent scaly guys with world domination on their mind. The only way to stop them: rule three. But it's an anxious (and extremely funny) battle to make it to daylight--and the bad gremlins find ways to multiply over and over. Great special effects and a gruesome sense of humor make this a wild (if occasionally dark and scary) ride. --Marshall Fine

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Gremlins great service
We received this DVD in a very short time. The price was great, the quality of the picture and sound were great. Thank you for the fast, efficient, and great service.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fiendishly clever Christmas flick that is family-friendly, but may scare the younger tots
Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante, and Chris Columbus collaborated on this modern Christmas classic. "Gremlins" is a mild horror film set in a small town that is easily a stand-in for Bedford Falls from "It's a Wonderful Life." Leave it to these three guys to inject a lot of subversive, sarcastic humor, using the vile Gremlins as their horror-comic tool.

The plot is well-known - a wacky inventor brings home the "perfect Christmas present" from a mysterious Chinese shop - a Mogwai. The Mogwai, Gizmo, is beyond cute (particularly thanks to the voice work of Howie Mandel). But Giz has flaws - namely 3: He hates bright light, he can't get wet, and you can never, ever feed him after midnight.

Of course, these rules get broken throughout the film, with terrific results. The Gremlins overrun the town, causing hilarious, murderous mayhem along the way. It's up to Zach Gilligan and Phoebe Cates as ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Gremlins - Still a fun, scary treat
This was a purchase for a 3 year old recovering from a major surgery. She loves scary movies. I wanted to get her something scary, but fun. I was glad to be able to purchase this dvd at a reasonable price.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Don't feed them after midnight
Don't expose them to sunlight. Don't let them get wet. And under no circumstances feed them after midnight.

Those are the rules for the now-legendary mogwai, adorable little fuzzballs who transform if you break the last rule. And "Gremlins" is a gloriously unconventional Christmas movie -- a postcard-pretty view of suburban middle-America, splattered with gore, nasty little gremlins and a truly wicked sense of humour (expressed often in movie send-ups).

Randall (Hoyt Axton) spots a tiny adorable creature -- a mogwai -- in a small Chinatown shop, and wants to buy it as a Christmas present for his son. The owner refuses, but his grandson secretly sells it to Randall.

Randall's son Billy (Zach Galligan) is delighted by the fuzzy lightphobic mogwai, whom he names Gizmo. But it soon becomes clear that Gizmo is full of surprises: when water is accidentally splashed on him, he spontaneously ... Read More
