Fright night: Gremlins

Join us for our family friendly christmas edition of Fright Night and celebrate 40 years of Gremlins!

It's Christmas Eve, and festive lights twinkle as a dusting of snow settles on rooftops. The sleepy town of Kingston Falls appears to be a winter wonderland... that is, until the gremlins take over.

A father returns from Chinatown with an unusual pet, a 'Mogwai' as an early Christmas gift for his son. How to care for this strange creature is simple, just follow the golden rules: keep your Mogwai away from water, bright lights and, most importantly, never..ever...feed him after midnight. Nevertheless, as the rules are inadvertently broken the consequences multiply at an alarming rate... Before long the idyllic winter wonderland is in the throes of full-blown chaos!

Join us for a wildly original roller-coaster ride of darkly comic monster mischief!
