About this movie

Inspired by the cult-favorite film series from the ’80s and ’90s, Critters Attack! follows 20-year-old Drea, who reluctantly takes a job babysitting for a professor of a college she hopes to attend. Struggling to keep the professor’s children, Trissy and Jake, and her own little brother Phillip entertained, Drea takes them on a hike, unaware that mysterious alien critters have crash-landed and started devouring every living thing they encounter. While being tracked by the ravenous critters, Drea and the kids encounter an adorable, seemingly harmless female critter named Bianca, an exiled royal fleeing the critter race. As the critters converge on campus, Drea and the kids, who are now inextricably linked to Bianca, rush to head them off. Will Drea discover her inner badass, and will it be enough to stop the critter onslaught? And is the critter princess as innocent as she seems?

It does have an awesome "Stranger Things" synth score and overall "Stranger" vibe and some good practical Critter puppet FX but this new film is super cheap, super PG and has that shot in Bulgaria vibe from all the actors. One of the great things about the original film was the "country" small town characters and their kooky reactions to the Critters. This new movie has none of that and that is why it fails for me. The characters suck! Dee Wallace returns but NOT as Bradley Brown's Mom. Nope👎

I find this film passable, but I find myself never laughing, and always just thinking of watching the others. Now, im never really critical, but I waited months for this to come out, and when i got this, I was pretty disappointed. But i will say the the puppets are cool, and with the first hard R in the series, some good gore every now and then, so this could be fine for the inner critter lover inside most of us.

Was interested to see a new critters. Unfortunately, it isn't connected with the original critters. They picked up ideas from the first one, but it veers off track quite a bit. Original critters is always going to be the best. Of course, as a huge Critters fan, I had to see it for myself. Ending=👎 Good little thrills though....
