“Critters” is one of those rare movies that comes along that, despite all odds against it, manages to strike just the right chord. A little-monsters mix of scifi, horror, and comedy, the film uses its low budget as part of its charm. It scales the film farely small, that being a family farm that’s attacked by Crites, voracious little eating machines from outer space, rather than a world-spanning threat. This is likely due to the low budget, but it works very well because the lower scale gives the audience a chance to know and identify with the characters, including the Crites themselves. The Crites are more than just Gremlins from space. They have their own language (subtitled, of course) and given that there are only a handful of them gives the filmmakers a chance to give them some character as they interact with each other and the environment (watching one of them try to talk to an ET doll is worth a chuckle). It’s not a great film, but it’s still a fun way to spend an hour and a half. Just don’t expect the same magic from the sequels.

Good watch, could watch again and do recommend.

This is a good one to jump into the way back machine for, and I’m waiting on a reboot to happen. (Actually….”The Tomorrow War” is sort of on the same track)

The critters themselves are (in a horrible way) cute and vicious looking, the acting is decent, the story is good, and I’m a big fan of the shape shifting hunters sent to kill them.

When it comes down to it, the movie is a lot of fun and worth giving a watch.

Amusing Sci-Fi Horror Thriller with an Sense of Humor.
Eight flesh eating aliens has escaped from a maximum security prison in space! These aliens are traveling to Earth to eat anything living. The Brown Family (Dee Wallace Stone, Billy Green Bush, Scott Grimes, Nadine van de Velde) are being stalked and trapped in their own farm house. The only ones that could help The Brown Family is a shape- shifting trigger happy bounty hunters that could help destroy the aliens.

Directed by Stephen Herek (Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Life or Something Like It, Mr. Holland’s Opus) made an genuinely well made low-budget sci-fi/thriller with comedic overtones. This film was a small box office success. The film went on to be a Cult Favorite. Also starring in this film is M. Emmet Walsh as a Sheriff, Terrence Mann as the lead Bounty Hunter and Don “Keith” Opper as Charlie. Which Opper did some additional writing for this film. Lin Shaye from “Kingpin” and “There’s Something About Mary” fame has a bit part. Watch for Billy Zane has a bit part as well.

DVD has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer (Also in Pan & Scan) and an good digitally remastered:Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround. DVD also includes an alternate ending as a hidden feature. “Critters” is amusing knock-off to “Gremlins” but done extremely well, despite it’s low budget. Written by the director and Domonic Muir. From a Story by Muir. Robert Shaye (The Then-Founder of “New Line Cinema”) executive produced the film. This is worth seeing. Followed by Three Sequels. (*** ½/*****).

Doesn’t demand much attention, but manages to be entertaining enough when it grabs it
A group of alien creatures known as the ‘Krites’ escape from a meteor prison station and head towards Earth, so the leaders of the station instantly sets two shape-shifting bounty hunters out to retrieve them. On Earth, the rural Brown family, Helen (Dee Wallace), Jay (Billy “Green” Bush), their daughter April (Nadine Van Der Velde) and son Brad (Scott Grimes), live peacefully on their farm in Kansas. The Krites (or ‘Critters’) arrive on Earth and wreak havoc, attacking police cars and encroaching on the Brown family’s farm. The bounty hunters arrive too, witnessed by Jay and Brad, and aggressively seek out the critters, as the tiny terrors descend on the Brown’s.

Seemingly both pro and anti-Spielberg in nature, Critters benefits from – like so many horror films of its era and ilk – the puppet design. While the whole concept is a thinly-disguised rip-off of the vastly superior Gremlins (1984), the critters are certainly enjoyable to watch, as, unlike the gremlins, they dispose of people in variously gruesome ways with their razor-sharp teeth and their spikes (which they project like darts from their back). It’s just a shame that the makers decided to crowbar in the alien bounty hunter sub-plot that not only takes the action away from the critters, but gives the film a very silly, slapstick edge that reminded me of Suburban Commando (1991).

While Spielberg had set the family blockbuster groundwork with Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) and the massively successful E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial (1982), depicting the wonder of alien invasion from the view of the family unit, Critters seems to be happy enough following this familiar path, but giving the film of a more violent edge (in one scene, a critter bites the head of Brad’s E.T. teddy). It is these aspects that work for and against the film, giving it a warm familiarity of the line of ‘kid-friendly’ 80’s horror/sci-fi movies, but reminded you that Spielberg did it far, far better. But at only 82 minutes, it doesn’t demand much attention, but manages to be entertaining enough when it grabs it.
