The perfect last minute Xmas gift: give your special someone a cute ball of fur and don’t worry about where it came from. Just don’t put it under bright lights, don’t get it wet, and whatever you do, please, please don’t feed it after midnight…
Gremlins began life as a horror movie but mutated into a big budget family entertainment – somehow retaining its genuinely vicious teeth. One of the most astringent, least sentimental directors around, Joe Dante fashioned it as an anti-Christmas film, inserting mischievous riffs on such seasonal classics as It’s a Wonderful Life, The Wizard of Oz and Phil Spector’s Christmas Album, trashing parochial small town Americana, consumerism, greed, and in a particularly delicious conceit holding up his rampaging signifiers as a mirror image to the ravenous, popcorn-belching movie hordes.
