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.

nzswanny Definitely a good movie! It's a fine mix of horror, comedy and sci fi all in an hour and a half! However, I would really wish that the movie was longer. If the movie was a bit longer, I'd rate it 10/10, but because it was a bit too short I rated it 8/10. But still, this is a VERY good movie. The jokes are funny, the scares are (very occasionally) scary, the sci fi is a job well done - the perfect movie for fans of horror comedies and science fiction! The humour isn't exactly pointable, and it's a bit hard to figure out...but when you figure out the joke's definition, you will laugh! This is an especially good movie for 10+ because I remember watching this when I was 9 turning 10, and I LOVED it! A must see!!!

Jamie Spraggon Critters is a 1986 comedy horror film, which takes place in a quiet town starring a simple and disciplined family who live on a farm. It stars Dee Wallace who many people recognise from her role in The Howling. The main character is little Brad Brown who is the youngest member of the family and gets into all kinds of mischief e.g. fighting with his sister setting off fireworks etc. He must protect his family as his mother has a breakdown and his father has been injured by the fury creatures from space who plot nothing but madness and destruction too this quiet little farming family.Critters is an OK family comedy/horror movie. I used to own all 4 of them in a box-set and was only keen on 1 & 2 so I got rid of 3 & 4 after I watched them a few years ago I just watched this one again recently and decided that these are not films that are worth me keeping, so now I own none of these, but I still recommend these to all you horror fans, sci-fi fans and comedy fans as they are worth a watch... well the first two anyway.***/***** Could be worse.

piratecannon Yesterday I killed some time by browsing the DVD aisle(s) at Best Buy. I came across a four-feature offer that included Critters 1-4 for the low price of $12.99. Since I have a soft spot for just this sort of low brow garbage, I thought, "What the heck? This will make for a fun Friday night movie marathon." So, having never seen a single one of the Critters films, I picked up the entire collection and embarked on a journey to see just how cheesy/idiotic (after all, the "so-bad-it's- good" appeal is really the only thing these having going for them, right?) they really are.Here's the scoop: a hostile alien species known as the Crites escapes from an intergalactic prison asteroid and executes an escape plan—the word "plan" is used very loosely—to hide on the planet Earth until they can make their next move. Two bounty hunters are sent after the Crites; they are ordered to bring back the razor-toothed furballs at any and all costs. Thus the stage is set for one of the great sci-fi confrontations of the past 25 years.Not.Critters seems to be savvy enough to realize that it's nothing more than moronic popcorn cinema, but it never really accomplishes any gags that truly elicits the chuckles (or scares) that were certainly intended to define this most lowbrow of offerings.If I had to pinpoint the main problem with Critters, I'd say it has to do with the uneven transition between the cartoonish antics of the extraterrestrials themselves and the oddly serious moments of violence that pop-up sporadically when things really hit the fan. One minute we see one of the malicious little creatures swallow a firecracker and momentarily stagger as the thing explodes and a thin trail of smoke pours from his mouth (it's shockingly close to what you'd seen during any given episode of Looney Tunes). The next, we watch the thing tear off hunks of flesh in an effort to consume the innocent inhabits of a rural Kansas community.As you'd expect, there are plenty of pop-culture references and hammy one-liners, but this seems like little more than a pale remake of that other "critter" classic of the 1980′s—Gremlins.Sure, the movie is mildly entertaining, but how it spawned three sequels I'll never know.Stay tuned for my reviews of the other three films, which, here's hoping, will manage to strike some sort of balance in the clunky dichotomy between laughs and gore that we see in the first entry.
