Critters Review

At first I thought this would be another B-movie, and it is, but this one was actually pretty good. It some minor scares, more laughs and gore. The concept is simple: a group of renegade space criminals escape to earth in the form of fury balls of teeth and reek havoc upon a small town in America’s Heartland. These critters look furry and playful but they are viscous monsters and very deceiving. What made me like this movie was how the whole plot was executed, like seeing balls of fur and teeth roll across the place and lunging out a people and killing them; it’s actually kind of funny in a way.

The acting was pretty good for a B-movie and Scott Grimes really made his star-debut with this movie. The actors and actresses act better when there is something horrible going on then they do when nothing is going on.

The whole idea of having the faceless "Space Police" come down and morph themselves into other people and try to capture the critters is genius. I love the way the look, how they morph and how they dress. There appearance is so deceiving for how they really act and I like that. Take for example when they mimic the look of the priest and then seeing him, a holy man from the townsfolk perspective, blow things up and going crazy.

Now, let me talk briefly about the Crites in the movie. They are very deceiving. I thought they would be cute looking monsters with a ferocious appetite but when I finally saw them… they looked demonic. Not to mention that fact that they swear as well.

Overall, I think this is a very campy horror movie but it’s not one that should be overlooked. It is very underrated by the public and shouldn’t. It is a timeless classic B-movie horror film and nevertheless, a classic in the lineup of horror.
