Gremlins is an American Horror-comedy from 1984. (Not to be confused by George Orwell's book).

The movie was directed by Joe Dante, and the scenario written by Chris Columbus.

In the lead roles we can find Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates, Hoyt Axton, Frances Lee McCain and Dick Miller. Executive producer was none other than Steven Spielberg himself.
