First and foremost let me just say that this is a rare horror gem.
This movie is one of the rare low-budget horror flicks that are actually good. The basic plot is that little furry monsters land from outer space and begin to eat the town they land by. Pretty basic storyline, but this is a monster movie you know. The Critters (or Krites, to be precise), are, while obviously puppets, very cool and well done. The human actors on the other hand...well, they are terrible. The dad, his shoulder and leg practically gnawed of by critters, remains alert and vigilant, even though he's covered in blood. The boy is average, at best. The bounty hunters are alright. The best actor is Charlie, the drunk. He pulls off a very good performance.
I would definetly suggest this movie to anyone who has yet to see this one as it is followed by numerous sequels at some which are decent and others are pretty bad.
Rating...
7/10
