Redundant and unnecessary.

Powerful

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Boy, Critters. Where do I began with this film.The story is pretty much a bunch of Carnivore, furry Hedgehog/Porcupine mixed extraterrestrial Creatures called Crites or Critters have escaped from their outer space prison, and made it their way to the other side of the Galaxy to land on the life planet "Earth" to search for food, while a couple Bounty Hunters are sent to go find them and exterminate them. Meanwhile, at the location of a farm outside of a small Kansas Town, the family is then under attack by the Man-eating Critters as it where they landed on, and tries anyways to protect themselves and attempts to killed every single one of these vicious freaks. This movie have a good cast of people, the most notable one being Scott Grimes, who portray the Red-headed kid in the film, who you may recognize being one of Seth MacFarlane buddies as he cast in several of his work such as "Family Guy" and "American Dad", as well MacFarlane most recent live-action show "The Orville". My favorite characters are Grimes' Character, the Bounty Hunters, and a character named Charlie, who is pretty much a main character within the whole film series. Grimes' character was sorta entertaining to watch, he was quite funny and very serious at times. Charlie was good in this too, as his personality was just great being pretty much the Town's Drunk, and for the most time Loser, as he doesn't have any friends except for Grimes, whose their Relationship in this film was sorta nice to see, just a classic Buddy relationship, and his belief in the Extraterrestrial makes his character more outstanding. The Bounty Hunters were like the second highlights of the film, they were so cool to see, and let don't forget the awesome transformation scene, like wow, that shows the special effects that was used for this were so incredible and this was before CGI. The effects on the Critters were good too, which are another thing I should talk about as well, the Critters, they were feisty in this one, like how they comes after these family members is very terrific and we feel how horrifying this family was in this one. They were slightly a-bit funny to watch in this as well, like their Interactions is sorta interesting, but really it not that much to be honest. Speaking of Interactions, I shall one of the two complaints this film delivers, one is that the Critters didn't have that much of Interactions with the Bounty Hunters, which is something I never really liked, instead through-out the whole until close by the end, the Bounty Hunters spend their time searching through-out the Town trying to find the Critters, now it funny of them getting into others' businesses, really were just trying to find who their looking for, but I just wished they added a few more scenes of them with the Critters. The other complaint is that the death rate is very VERY low, there only like two people killed in this one, which is actually consequentially the total amount of deaths in these films (Only by the Critters anyways), except for Critters 2. That not really why I have a problem with however, it just that only one death was shown on-screen and the other one happened underneath a car, which come on, really. But those doesn't boiled this film down exactly, it stills an entertaining piece of art with some great horror going on. Anyways, if you want to see a horror film with a classic B-Movie feel to it, and if you loved Gremlins (Which this film is competing with), you'll definitely loves this one.

Strangely enough, I enjoyed the first half of "Critters" more; the depiction of the everyday life of an average middle-class rural family is quite pleasant (including a believable brother-sister relationship and the perfect all-American mom, Dee Wallace Stone). But when the Critters enter the picture, 28-year-old director Stephen Herek, making his debut, shows that he is not in Joe Dante's (or Steven Spielberg's, of course) league; there are some amusing moments, but no particularly memorable attack or close-call sequences. Unlike the Critters themselves, the film lacks teeth. ** out of 4.

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.

Talk about 80s. Perhaps my first time seeing Critters should've been back then.I have seen Critters 3 when was young, but then it was only because I was into Leonard DiCaprio at the time. (Actually, admittedly, I still am.) I just never got around to this, Part 2, 4 or whatever how many more they made that I have even less interest in.This original film (meaning, #1 in the series) dealt with fur balls from hell – uh, space – and their need to chop everything with their piranha teeth. They crash land in Smallville, U.S.A. on the most cliché family farm in movie history. I.E. Dad wears overalls all-day and drinks from a jar. (Even his real name is "Billy.")In normal 80s fashion, the family fights off the rolling little balls of Satan while two emotionless, direct from a bad 80s music video, bounty hunters aid.Despite me never seeing this before and it's been just shy of 30 years since its initial release, it holds up for me because it's 100% 80s horror/comedy fair. Even if you've never seen it, but love the 80s horror movies, you might like this little gem.* * * Final thoughts: I know they were trying to tap into Gremlins success, just like every other 80s horror film was a copycat, but at least this movie tried to shake things up a bit with the background story. Sadly, that entire (and basically, right off the set of the 1970's TV program: Wonder Woman) sci-fi opening was truly hard to get through.
