Gremlins at VUE Printworks

Tom Grieve, Cinema Editor

6 — 8 December 2019 Tickets from £5.74 — Book now

You know the drill: don’t expose them to sunlight, don’t feed them after midnight and don’t get them wet. Unfortunately, teenager Billy Peltzer (Zach Galligan) breaks the rules governing the care of his strange new pet, Gizmo, and unwittingly unleashes a troupe of chain smokin’, lipstick wearin’ degenerate Gremlins on his neighbourhood at Christmastime. Wonderfully anarchic, American satirist Joe Dante’s 1984 tale of small town USA disrupted during its most sacred season remains as keen and clear-eyed as ever.
