Review of Critters (1986) by Johnny T — 03 Aug 2011
Interesting horror comedy from director Stephen Herek following alien like fury creatures who feed on anything and create havoc in the process. a well made comedy horror film, Critters is obviously the best one in the series.
This boasts a good cast such as Dee Wallace (Cujo) Scott Grimes (Band Of Brothers) and Billy Zane ( Dead Calm). This is amusing and entertaining horror comedy that will definitely please fans of comedy horror.
Sure the idea behind the film isn't that great, but the film is very entertaining and is fun from start to finish. What makes this such a good little flick is that it doesn't take itself seriously and the fact that it has a B movie feel to it doesn't hurt.
The film will appeal to fans of the Gremlins franchise, though different, both films navigates similar territory. Critters has enough originality to be different from Gremlins, the creatures are meaner, and come from outer space.
The film is a worthy viewing and is lots of fun. If you enjoy this type of horror, then you'll enjoy this film.
