Gremlins + Q&A with Zach Galligan at FACT
Tom Grieve, Cinema EditorChaos erupts in this 1984 cult classic when teenager Billy Peltzer (Zach Galligan) breaks the rules governing the care of his new pet, Gizmo, and unwittingly unleashes a troupe of chain smokin’, lipstick wearin’ degenerate Gremlins on his neighbourhood at Christmastime. No mere nostalgia fest, Joe Dante’s Gremlins is a densely packed, anarchic satire of small-town Americana that’s even better than you remember.
As a special treat, Gremlins‘ star, Zach Galligan will be at FACT this weekend to talk about his experience filming Dante’s film.
