Gremlins
Young Billy Peltzer's (Zach Galligan) everyday smalltown life is given a lift when his travelling salesman father Rand (Hoyt Axton) buys him the ultimate Christmas gift in a far-off Chinatown--the mogwai--an adorable little big-eared, furry, brown and white creature. But the old man who sold the creature gave three rules that must always be followed when caring for the mogwai: 1) no water 2) no food after midnight 2) no bright light. When Billy inadvertently violates these first two rules, the small town of Kingston Falls is turned upside down by a legion of green, nasty gremlins! The line between comedy and horror is deftly straddled by director Joe Dante (PIRANHA, SMALL SOLDIERS) in this modern genre classic. Produced by Steven Spielberg, from a script by Chris Columbus (GOONIES).

Juvenile horror comic, a kind of deliberate inversion of E.T. Slow to start, and a little too knowingly nasty, with variable special effects; but a pretty hot commercial success.

The New Spielberg: Can JJ Abrams Conquer Hollywood?
- 02 Aug 2011
Remember the scene in Manhattan when Woody Allen is accused of thinking he’s God? He replies, “Well, I’ve got to model myself on someone.” JJ Abrams might say the same about Steven Spielberg. Watching his latest film, Super 8, it’s impossible not to see it as an act of homage to a favourite director. The focus on a kids’-eye-view, the suburban late 70s setting, the careful shot compositions, backlighting, and the relatively slow tempo of the first act, all... Read more
