Critters is a 1986 sci-fi horror starring Scott Grimes and Dee Wallace... I have this a 10 rating based on originality because the sequels were even worse and to me this is the ONLY decent Critters film besides Critters 3.. Critters 2 and 4Critters is a 1986 sci-fi horror starring Scott Grimes and Dee Wallace... I have this a 10 rating based on originality because the sequels were even worse and to me this is the ONLY decent Critters film besides Critters 3.. Critters 2 and 4 were just plain bad... The premise is similar to Gremlins but these furballs called Critters come from space and they eat whatever they can get their teeth into and attack humans too. A family is plundered into disaster and must survive when their home is targeted by the furry critters but they also have help to get rid of the critters in the form of two alien bounty hunters with big guns shooting up the place lol. The bounty hunters can take the form of any person's face as their face mutates and transforms to fit in kind of but the main goal is to destroy the critters. Good and bad acting in this film and some stupid characters to say the least but it's entertaining and rarely boring so a great film. It feels very dark this movie in the atmosphere department and more times than not there's a sense of dread with dead animals turning up near the family home or cops being killed by the critter creatures. Good film and best in the series.… Expand

The critters are my favorite mini monsters. These monstrous pint size ghoulies are on the run from space bounty hunters. They land on earth start hatching and mutating so they can snack on a human family in a classic country home. The movieThe critters are my favorite mini monsters. These monstrous pint size ghoulies are on the run from space bounty hunters. They land on earth start hatching and mutating so they can snack on a human family in a classic country home. The movie starts out as a family drama with a touch of sci-fi and soon becomes a kick ass battle with gruesome little and big spaceballs. The practical effects are awesome. The movie is scary, funny and so entertaining. This is one of those awesome, retro kid saves the day movies played by ginger Scott Grimes. Dee Wallace Stone (Cujo) also stars along with a young Billy Zane (Dead Calm) and Lin Shaye (Insidious). A must see!

Classic 80s horror. Good mix of humour, likeable characters, and horror. What this pulls off that none of the sequels managed to capture is a sense of suspense where the characters actually feel like they're in danger. It's hard to balanceClassic 80s horror.

It's hard to balance with its goofiness, but Critters pulls it off nicely!… Expand
