Gremlins è un film horror/commedia statunitense del 1984 diretto da Joe Dante e scritto da Chris Columbus. Si basa su leggende di creature dispettose, i gremlins, che avrebbero causato inspiegabili incidenti aerei nella Royal Air Force durante la seconda guerra mondiale, e vede come protagonisti Zach Galligan e Phoebe Cates. Steven Spielberg è stato il produttore esecutivo del film. Il film è stato al centro di grandi campagne di merchandising e opta per la commedia nera, con un'ambientazione natalizia. Gremlins è stato distribuito nelle sale l'8 giugno 1984 dalla Warner Bros. con successo sia di critica che commerciale. Tuttavia, è stato pesantemente criticato per alcune delle sue sequenze più violente. In risposta a questa e ad analoghe lamentele su Indiana Jones e il tempio maledetto, Spielberg suggerì che la Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) modificasse il suo sistema di valutazione, cosa che fece entro due mesi dall'uscita del film, creando una nuova valutazione PG-13 (visione da parte dei minori di 13 anni consigliata con la presenza di un adulto). Secondo Il Sole 24 Ore è uno dei film migliori degli anni ottanta.
