    If you are a fan of the classic critters films, you may feel initially off put, but ultimately entertained. I always enjoy seeing a filmmaker with a particular style tackle a long-standing series and infusing their flavor. This film is made by Bobby Miller, a young creator who brings a fresh angle to Critters, echoing his mostly comedic background. This film feels like a mix of Gremlins, a Disney Channel live action kids show, and a Sci fi channel movie. Allow me to elaborate case by case. Gremlins in the sense that, many of the Critters have more distinguished looks than previously. There is also a ‘Gizmo-esque’ critter. Also, a BIG BIG applause for using animatronic and puppets. Fear not, there are no CGI critters. It is like a Disney channel show in the sense that you will mostly be watching a group of young adults/kids running around dodging trouble with a comedic malaise about the situation, almost like a halloween special. The interactions between characters are mostly cringe but partially meant to be that way. Lastly, it is like a Sci Fi channel movie in the sense that it doesn’t take itself seriously. It has humor the likes of Sharknado etc. Although my 80s horror heart was fighting this film most of the way through, i ultimately ended up enjoying it as I finally understood it in the end. This is a fan service film that slaps a new age feel on things. This could be a standalone critters, don’t expect much connection to the previous films. The filming is sharp and high quality. The critters look great and they have lots of on screen time. There is plenty of gore and funny call backs like the critter ball. Dee Wallace from the original makes a brief appearance as a Bounty Hunter. Although i would gladly shave off 20 mins of mid film floundering, i have to give Critters Attack praise. Its just meant to be a fun romp and its high quality at that. Everyone just looks like they’re having fun making this film. Hey, no one else has been making us any critters films, and if I flip off my stuck in the 80s switch, this one is kind of fun!

    If you like the original films, you'll likely enjoy this as well. This is all animatronic puppets, like the original, no CG here, so it's cheesy and kind of fake at times, but that's kind of what made the originals so endearing. Not quite as much comedy as in the older films, and the plot is paper thin, as usual, just enough to support some Krite mayhem. Glad to see Dee Wallace back here, though she isn't given much to do. But it was good enough that I'd like to see another sequel. Check your discs when you receive them as my blu-ray was defective and I didn't discover it until the return period had expired by a few days. Thankfully with combo packs there are other options and I was able to watch the standard DVD.

    For general fans of horror creatures...it’s okay.

    First off the packaging and disk were good. Had a few extras with interviews and the such also good. The Movie Itself: For people who like campy creature films such as ghoulies, gremlins you may enjoy this film. The acting is pretty stiff with this young cast, But not enough to really bother me. the movie does have some genuinely fun parts. The Critter puppets are well done ..... For the Critters Fans such as myself It may be harder to swallow. Dee Wallace is back but in a different role. The continuity of the other films are thrown out with conflicting information from the other films. It felt more like a watered down parody of the original movies than an actual entry into the franchise. I would Rent this one.

    If you are a fan of the original Critters movies, this will not disappoint. Using mostly practical effects (puppets/animatronics) like the original, you have to give it props on that alone. It has a slightly Nickelodeon kids movie feel with lots of R Rated material to give it a slight twist on that odd kwirkiness of the original films.

    While not amazing, it fits in just fine with the other Critters movies. The puppets looked great. I don't think it really reached the R rating it earned but still a good movie to add to your collection. Decent amount of special features that give a nice inside look on how the flick was made.

    This is a fun little extension of the Critters universe, with the inclusion of Aunt Dee (Helen Brown bringing back her character.) Enjoyable movie that I recommend anyone who is a fan of the original series pick up and know they picked a good couch and popcorn flick.

    After 25 years sonce the last installment, this pretty much held up to waiting and was enjoyable! The Critters looked great, including a brand new one who looked different but totally 80s!

    This movie wasn’t just God awful but, it wasn’t that great either. Definitely worth checking out if you’re a fan of the previous Critter movies.

    It is what it is. Plain and simple it is a "B" movie that kicks back to the original movie. It is bad enough to be good, if you like the original, you'll like it one.

    It was a decently fun movie, but they made some questionable choices that disappointed. That being said it was nice seeing the Critters return.

    wasn't to bad but it could of been better. More like the back read. However I would recommend it for a critter movie.

    My introduction into the Critters series. This is the kind of movie that makes you want to invite your friends over and laugh at the ridiculousness of it all! There needs to be more creature features that revel in their cheesiness like this.
