Movie Reviews of Critters
Movie Review: A Joyfully Schlocky 80's Creature Feature (Sci-Fi Horror Movie)
Summary: 5 Stars
Ahh, Critters, we remember thee well...
Interstellar hedgehogs with poisonous quills and a killer appetite. Vintage 80's schtick. Very apparent from the costuming and the hair! This series was always a bunch of fun on account of its irreverence and self-referential humor.
Basically bounty hunters get tasked with hunting down the Crites ("critters," in Earth parlance), after they escape from high-security incarceration and hijack a ship that crashes (lands?) on Earth.
The Crites, of course, are hungry and have a rather un-sunny disposition. Much gore and dark humor ensue. Worth a watch for the 80's nostalgia and a few relatively funny moments. However, some parts are just painful (awkward) to watch...
As far as the physical disc itself, it's attractive, but lacks any significant special features. No commentary, no trailers other than the other Critters movies, no other special features. A bit disappointing in that regards. But the picture and sound seemed good enough to me. Considering the source material.
