When Billy Peltzer is given a strange but adorable pet named Gizmo for Christmas, he inadvertently breaks the three important rules of caring for a Mogwai – don’t get him wet, keep him out of bright light, and never feed him after midnight – unleashing a horde of mischievous gremlins on a small town. Chaos reigns in Joe Dante’s 1984 classic comedy-horror.

White Christmas | Sunday 15th December & Thursday 19th December
