Review of Critters (1986) by Steven1981 — 24 Apr 2020
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 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.
