More details about Gremlins and where you can watch

In Gremlins, Billy Peltzer is gifted an adorable Mogwai named Gizmo, along with three strict rules: keep it away from bright light, don’t let it get wet, and never feed it after midnight. When these rules are accidentally broken, Gizmo multiplies and the new creatures transform into violent Gremlins. These creatures unleash mayhem throughout the town, destroying property, terrorizing residents, and turning Christmas into a nightmare. Billy and his girlfriend Kate must stop the Gremlins before the destruction spreads further. The film cleverly mixes slapstick comedy with genuine horror, using satire to comment on consumerism, technology, and unchecked responsibility.
