jacobjohntaylor1 There are not to many movie scarier then this one. Critters is one of the only movies I can think of. This is movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. 5.3 is a good ratting. But this is such a great movie that 5.3 is underrating it. This is a 10. Not a 5.3. This is very scary. It is scarier then The Exorcist and that is not easy to do. This a very scary movie. If it does not scary you no movie will. This is scarier then A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do. Mick Garris is a great film maker. This is one of the his best movies. This is scarier then Halloween and that is not easy to do.
Scott LeBrun This sequel to "Critters" begins logically enough, as the bounty hunters Ug (Terrence Mann) and Charlie (Don Keith Opper) return to Earth, having found out about the pile of Crite eggs left at the end of the first movie. In the company of another bounty hunter, they go about their mission, while former farm boy Brad Brown (the likable Scott Grimes) returns to the town of Grovers' Bend for an Easter vacation with his grandma (Herta Ware), and the Crite eggs unfortunately get distributed around town.Once the eggs are hatched, it's all about the Critter action in this fairly fast paced effort by first time feature director Mick Garris ("Sleepwalkers"), who also wrote the script with David Twohy ("Pitch Black"). The main change is the opening up of the action, what with having the Crites take on the town of Grovers' Bend en masse. The effects by the Chiodo brothers are typically amusing; the big draw this time is seeing the petite monsters fuse themselves into a great big ball and go rolling hungrily along. (It does make one wish that they do a little more damage in this capacity.)The cast proves to be game: Opper is once again endearing as Charlie, Liane Curtis likewise appealing as young reporter Megan. Lending their valuable support are Sam Anderson as Megans' dad, the local newspaper publisher, Lin Shaye (another returnee from the first "Critters") as his employee Sally, Barry Corbin, taking over the role of Harv from M. Emmet Walsh, and the always-good-for-a-laugh Eddie Deezen as a restaurant manager. Garris's wife Cynthia plays a small role and also wrote and sang that catchy jingle. Some viewers will appreciate the presence of the sadly short lived beauty Roxanne Kernohan, as the third bounty hunters' incarnation as a Playboy centerfold.There is a funny little in-joke regarding New Line Cinemas' biggest franchise character at that time.Overall, agreeable entertainment for fans of the genre.Seven out of 10.
Hayjohowe Critters 2 is a sequel to the 1986 movie critters, in which alien eating machines come to earth and prey off of the people of a small town. At the end of the film, the critters are all destroyed, but we see that they lay several eggs, which, in critters 2, are found and sold as easter eggs. The eggs hatch and the critters go on an eating spree, devouring everything in town. The townspeople hole up in a church to try and wait them out. The bounty hunters return, now with Charlie from the original as another bounty hunter in this film, and again, try to destroy the critters. One of them is devoured, and the other one slips into a deep depression. Now it's up to the towns people to find a way to destroy the critters. They decide to try and contain the critters in a Hungry Heifers factory, and then blow it up. It seems to work, but the critters burst out of the wreckage in a giant ball, of rolling, flesh devouring creatures. The movie is fun, but just not quite as good as the original. It's definitely still worth checking out, but don't expect a movie just as good as the first.
Jan Strydom The Crites are back and this time they're hungrier and meaner, although CRITTERS 2 is a good sequel its not really as good as the first one but its not bad at all, its also very fun to watch and very entertaining but it lacks a little something that could've made it as good as the first one, the problem is I don't know what but if you watch the two films back to back you'll understand what I'm saying.The acting is very good however but I didn't really recognize many of the cast with the exception of a few familiar faces from the first film and of course a certain playboy playmate who is seen in one of the film's funny moments.Overall, its a good sequel even though its not as good as the first one I'll recommend it about as much as I would the first one.
