Critters Attack!

About This Movie

Critters Attack! is an interesting blend of comedy, horror, and sci-fi that captures that campy vibe of the original Critters series while trying to carve its own niche. The film’s pacing fluctuates—sometimes it lingers in moments of dread and then shifts to absurdity, which adds a unique rhythm to it. The creature effects are largely practical, reminiscent of the earlier films, giving it a tangible quality that CGI often lacks. Drea, played with a mix of determination and vulnerability, is a relatable lead as she navigates this chaos with the kids. The humor feels a bit hit-or-miss, but there's something charming about watching these Critters wreak havoc in a small-town setting. It's definitely a different take compared to the earlier installments, but it has its moments.
