Unfairly judged as a rip off of Gremlins from 1984, Critters should be
thought of as a fun film taking all it can from the glorious peak of
50s sc-fi creature features. From the Critters themselves to every
other character in the film, it shouts out as a colorized version of a
50s staple.

Critters escape from a space prison and head for another planet, Kansas
{well OK then, Earth}, here they intend to eat every thing that gets in
their way. The inhabitants of a small town don't know what has hit
them, but aided by a couple of intergalactic bounty hunters, they fight
back to hopefully rid their homes of the furry maniacal Critters.

Watching this is like watching a roll call for every stereotypical
character ever put into a creature feature film, cute kid who could be
a hero, nice but dim farm hand, homely family with guts and verve, the
sheriff who is just not gonna believe what is happening no matter what
evidence is produced, and etc. Yet it works because they are homaging
past masters, they aren't trying to kid anyone that it's a new idea,
it's good fun that doesn't outstay its welcome.

The Critters are great, furry balls of fury with a shed load of teeth
that are backed up by off the cuff subtitles to enthasise their
grumblings. Genre babe Dee Wallace Stone gets to do her stuff, whilst M
Emett Walsh has fun as sceptical sheriff Harv, it's not a classic genre
piece by any stretch of the imagination, but it is fun {witness a
delightful E.T. scene}, and I for one look forward to part two later in
he week, 6.5/10..

One of those badass films from the 80's. Still good to watch even years later..

criiters an all time favorite watched these guys while growing up as a child in the 89 .

this is an awsome movie for the 80's.

terrifying movie....

A Kansas farm is attacked by a hoard of hungry flesh-eating monsters from outer-space with razor sharp teeth and a witty attitude! The family who inhabit the farm must seek the help of a local drunk and his critter-fighting bounty hunting pals before its too late... .

This movie was top notch.

just simple suspense movie.

FUNNY MOVIE....INTERESTING THO.

critters 2 is good critters 3 and 4 is good too.

Paranormal activity is a pretty good scary movie. It's worth seeing all 3 movies to appreciate the story line. I like how they tie it all up at the end. .

Story: Cute little furry monsters from outer space are out to eat as
many humans. Sounds like a winning combination to me! The movie is
fairly light hearted, putting laughs over scares or logical
progression. There were times when I saw the window wide open to do
some very dark humor, and I was slightly disappointed that they didn't
take those opportunities. The main family members do decay as the movie
progresses, as I felt the sister and the father were stronger
characters before the plot showed up, and I blame the plot for that. C

Acting: I was excited to see Billy Zane's name in the credits
considering I'm a big fan of his work. Sadly, he has a somewhat small
role as the 80's dumb boyfriend. At least he does it well. The star of
this movie is the kid, played by Scott Grimes, who plays a very
confident little crazy-prepared pyromaniac. Outside of the horror genre
this kid would probably be seeing a psychiatrist on a regular basis,
but it works here. Don Keith Opper annoyed me, which is probably a bad
thing considering he's in all four of these movies and since I've
started down this path I'll have to watch them all. Overall, the acting
department gets a B.

Direction: This has the feel of a children's movie, a little cheesy but
with a punch to it. The direction neither offended me nor impressed me,
and I'm searching for things to say about it. That sounds like C level
to me.

Visuals: The visuals still work to this day, which I consider to be a
high compliment to an 80's special effects movie. The critters have a
great combination of cute, yet menacing (I won't say scary, but
slightly intimidating). The space ships look cool and the two bounty
hunters are a visual highlight of this movie. A

Overall: Critters is a fun entry into the silly horror genre that I
think most kids would be all over and most parents would enjoy with the
proper mindset. It's fairly safe, its got some dry humping but no
nudity or real sex, some blood but not obscene amounts, and I don't
recall any major profanity being dropped. The only real setback for
parents would be the need to explain to their children that it is not
okay to make bombs in the barn, despite the fact that it worked out for
the kid in this movie. B.
