Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990)<\/h3>\n

“We can’t let them get away. All they have to do is to eat three or four children and there’d be the most appalling publicity!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Gremlins are back at the Museum, and this time, science has gone way<\/em>\u00a0too far! When mischievous little monsters invade a high-tech research lab, chaos reigns \u2014 from mutant gremlins to malfunctioning experiments. It\u2019s a wacky mix of creature comedy, corporate satire, and gooey 80s nostalgia. Just remember: don\u2019t feed them after midnight!<\/p>\n

This movie is rated PG-13<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
