Critters 4 is the worst critters film in the franchise. The third one was a fun, mediocre ride, but this film is pretty pointless. The story is poorly crafted even by Critters film standards. The film could have been a fine end to an amusing series, but it ends up being a failure. The first two Critters films were
great fun, and the third was amusing as well, but this last one feels like they scrapped the bottom of the barrel, and didn't focus on building on a fun. I'm sure that given a rewrite, Critters 4 could have been a fine conclusion. But theres just too many things going wrong on screen. I personally feel they should've just made three Critters films and left it at that. The idea is interesting, but the story is poorly crafted and you lose interest after a while. this is a film that should have been made only if the story was strong enough. What you have with Critters 4 is a film that tries to take off , but doesn't because of a bad script that recycles the same old tired ideas.
