When a young bank teller inadvertently breaks the rules of Mogwai care, his new pet Gizmo multiplies into a bevy of mischievous brothers, who soon morph into malevolent scaly creatures.
A cute creature spawns a pack of monsters with a sick sense of humor.
Kind of awesome. Also a mess, to such a degree that I suspect it's deliberate; it seems like about half the scenes exist solely to create loose ends. And the fact that it's a xenophobic allegory is a little off-putting. But still, it's kind of awesome.
