tuckerconstable-07055 Two intergalactic bounty hunters are alerted when a group of dangerous. fuzzy aliens, known as "Crites", escape from a nearby "space jail". The Crites are able to land on earth before the hunters can get to them though. They land in a town where a family, The Browns, live. The son of the family is a very big horror fan and is the only character who is immediately aware of the potential danger of the Crites. Meanwhile, the bounty hunters have landed in the same town and are now back on the hunt. They end up causing more damage than the Crites though, due to their unfamiliarity with Earth. They eventually track the Crites down and the greatest battle in cinematic history ensues."Critters" is a surprisingly original film, even if it was marketed as a rip off of the far superior "Gremlins". It never takes itself to seriously and the plot is pretty tight for something most people would write off as schlock. The Critter effects are decent, in some scenes they look surprisingly real and then in other scenes they're as fake as a four dollar bill. The Chiodo brothers are great effects artists. just look at their masks and make up in "Killer Klowns From Outer Space", but the effects in "Critters" are somewhere in the middle. "Critters" is a fine film if you're looking for a fun night in with a mid 80's creature feature, but if you're looking for genuinely great movie making-stick with "Gremlins".

jacobjohntaylor1 This movie is very scary. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. 6 is a good rating. But this is such a great movie that 6 is underrating it. This is one of the best sciences fiction of all time. It is so scary. It is scarier then The Exorcist and that is not easy to do. It is about space monster. I like space monster stories. Stephen Herek is a great film maker and this is one of the his best movies. This is scarier the A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do. This is scarier then Friday the 13th and that is not easy to do. It is not a 6. I give it 10 out 10. One the best movies I have seen. See it. It is a great movie.

Predrag Critters has to be one of my all time favorite horror/cult movies. The score was great, I never had a feeling you get when watching a horror movie where you felt something for the characters and yes, even the little Critters (a.k.a Krites; alien name). Have any of you seen those little bugs best known as rolie polies? That's what I think when I see these fury critters. Mutated rolie polies from outer space. That's a killer, right there. Cute, harmless, rolie polies that got transformed into something out of this world, with fangs, fur, and claws, oh my! Some people might mistake them for a strange bunny rabbit or something of the sort, until it faces you face to face with rows and rows of jagged teeth ready to attack you! Now the Krites like to head for the neck and stomach mostly. So, if you or I were to face one of these critters, then it would be best to wear a protection thing around your neck and probably would wanna wear a bullet proof vest or something to prevent them from eating your guts out. Yes, I know that sounds horrible, but that's the critter's nature. Eat, destroy, and eat some more. Their teeth can cut as sharp as cutting through metal, now that's sharp! And they're messy, little critters.The special alien effects were okay, but the Critters themselves were abysmal, even by 1986 standards. They are not shown a lot. It is an iconic film of the 80's that reads better in the Cliff Notes. This film is a classic, from the pace, the humour, and the action to the good cast and the story. Terry Mann is awesome as the bounty hunter 'Ug'. We get to know the main characters who are all likable but at the same time the movie never feels like it drags. Critters shares a long line of mid 1980's horror/comedy movies that worked very well. There isn't much blood or even victims, but the acting more than makes up for any missed opportunities, and you are going to love the Chuck Norris style bounty hunters. It's incredibly hard not to like Critters.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

Dirty-English-99 A family are terrorised by little furry animals from outer space who can eat anything, however the family are assisted by two alien bounty hunters who want to exterminate these critters.This film starred: Scott Grimes, Dee Wallace & M. Emmet Walsh.Critters is an OK film but it is a bit of a rip off from Gremlins, I don't really enjoy this film anymore because it is just boring, you can have a couple of laughs but that isn't really enough for a film that is meant to be a comedy. Not really recommended unless you are a fan of science fiction comedy and an extreme fan at that.***/***** Could be worse.
