Trivia
The set for Kingston Falls is the same one
used for Back to the Future (1985). Both
movies were filmed on the Universal Studios
backlot.

Goofs
The items that the gremlins use, such as
guns, tools and utensils are too small to be
normal (human) sized and appear to be
made specifically for gremlins.

hate Christmas.
Billy Peltzer: What are you talking about?
Kate Beringer: The worst thing that ever
happened to me was on Christmas. Oh, God.
It was so horrible. It was Christmas Eve. I

Review

F E AT U R E D R E V I E W 8/10

Best of the small creature attack

movies.
After this movie there were several other
movies that tried to capitalize on the success
of this movie. For the most part though they
failed to live up to the energy and fun of this
movie. Heck, not even the sequel of this one
had the energy of this movie. Here we have a
guy getting a pet as an early xmas gift, a cute
creature called a Mogway. It however, does
have a few problems, as it needs special care.
One thing you can't do to it is get it wet. Well
