The film is so much about itself that it summons up a movie critic (Entertainment Tonight's Leonard Maltin) to offer a pan of Gremlins One. Halfway through, the film breaks down, the screen goes blank, and then gremlins are seen taking over the movie house. In the lobby a mother shouts at the theater manager, "This is even worse than...
