Bristol Film Festival: Gremlins
- Director
- Joe Dante
- Certificate
- 12A
- Running Time
- 106 mins
Return of the splendid blackly comic kiddie horror from Joe Dante (director), Steven Spielberg (executive producer) and Chris Columbus (writer). History records that way back in the dim and distant past (1984), there was huge controversy over the film’s violence – especially the gremlin in a microwave sequence – which was, of course, exactly what bloodthirsty nippers craved. This led directly to the creation of the PG-13 cert in America (12A in the UK). Inevitably, there’s a long-gestating ‘reboot’ in the works.
This Bristol Film Festival screening takes place in the Passenger Shed, which will be converted into “the ultimate land of make-believe: a wintery Wonkyland” for the occasion. Go here for more information and tickets.
