Robert P @Superbad Sep 15, 2026 Critters = a 2.5 star Movie! See more Gerardo Chvarry T @Cinestrenos Sep 7, 2026 Critters is one of those movies that will always have a special place in my childhood. I first discovered it recorded on VHS—actually, I saw Critters 2 before the original—and revisiting it brings back everything I love about ’80s genre cinema: practical effects, rock music, visceral gore, strange creatures and that unmistakable B-movie charm. The premise is surprisingly original for 1986. Instead of another stereotypical alien, we get small, aggressive creatures that roll around, grow by eating, reproduce through eggs and can even shoot tranquilizing needles. Their design is fantastic, and the practical effects give them a physical presence that CGI could never recreate in the same way. The movie also has a fun relationship with Gremlins, although Critters leans harder into science-fiction horror. Final Thought: A nostalgic, violent and genuinely creative creature feature that still works decades later. See more B P @Bradster69 Sep 1, 2026 Not Bad, but Not My Favorite See more Cristopher S @cris_sanchez Aug 20, 2026 Una película que consiguió entretenerme un poco, pero que tampoco considero particularmente buena. Entiendo perfectamente que es una película antigua y por eso puedo dejar parcialmente de lado unos efectos especiales que no han envejecido demasiado bien. Mi mayor problema está en ciertas inconsistencias de los personajes, especialmente el padre, que tiene reacciones bastante extrañas dependiendo de quién esté en peligro. Tiene momentos entretenidos y cierta intriga inicial, pero en general se queda simplemente en una película regular. See more Melissa M @Lisey Jul 25, 2026 E Emmett Walsh & Dee Wallace have been in a lot of campy this is definitely one of the best. This movie was Stephen Herek directorial debut. The movie is about a small town where fuzzy aliens with sensational appetites escape from shape-shifting bounty hunters. These fuzzy little creatures aren't cute & lovable like Gizmo. It's funny however it is somewhat believed that this film was inspired by the success of Joe Dante's Gremlins. When actually the script for Critters was written 2 months before Gremlins even went into production. It is said there were many rewrites of the film in an attempt to limit the similarities between Gremlins and critters. There were many sequels to the film critters. There was even a web series called critters a new binge that was on Shudder. The fifth film critters attack was a reboot of the series. This movie is a silly comedy horror. If you like gross out campy silly sci-fi spoofs you'll love this movie. See more Taner B. @Tanmanhorrorfan Apr 14, 2026 Critters is a decent, fun creature feature that doesn’t take itself too seriously. It has its moments of humor, especially when one of the Critters unexpectedly says “fuck,” which definitely stands out. Overall, it’s a simple, entertaining watch, but there isn’t much more to it beyond that. Score: 6/10 See more Read all reviews
