Discover Gremlins & Phoebe Cates: 80s Icon You Didn't Know
Can a film truly redefine the festive season, injecting a dose of subversive humor into the holly jolly traditions? Joe Dante's 1984 masterpiece, Gremlins, doesn't just challenge Christmas; it gleefully dismantles it, leaving a trail of mischievous monsters and unforgettable moments in its wake.
Gremlins, a black comedy horror film released in 1984 and directed by Joe Dante, swiftly became a subversive Christmas favorite. Penned by Chris Columbus and brought to life by a talented cast, including Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates, and Hoyt Axton, the film offers a unique blend of horror, comedy, and a touch of holiday spirit albeit a distinctly unconventional one. The narrative follows Billy Peltzer, a young man who receives a peculiar creature called a Mogwai as a Christmas gift. This adorable furball, Gizmo, comes with specific rules: avoid bright lights, never get him wet, and above all, never feed him after midnight. As one might expect, these rules are spectacularly broken, unleashing a horde of mischievous, monstrous Gremlins upon the unsuspecting town of Kingston Falls.
