Review Summary
Billy (Gilligan) gets an unusual christmas present: a small furry creature named Gizmo (Mandell). There are three rules he must follow: Keep him away from light; don't get him wet; And never, ever, feed him after midnight. These last two rules were broken and a race of violent little beings are created. Lead by one with a mohawk (Welker), these creatures run amok. Now Billy, Gizmo, and Billy's girlfriend Kate (Cates) must stop them.
