When they land in the quiet, rural town of Grovers Bend, Kansas, the creatures wreak all kinds of havoc as they bite, gnash, and attack whatever's in their path.

Reviews for Critters
A variety of modest but well-executed special effects enlivens the otherwise run-of-the-mill effort about carnivorous aliens terrorizing a farm. The farm wins.
Critters as a franchise has nothing on the Nightmare on Elm Street films, but it’s proven popular enough with Gen X-ers who forward “You know you’re a child of the ‘80s if…” emails to all their office mates.
