Sequel of the hit horror-comedy Critters with the voracious alien furballs occassionally inspired 'Gremlins' rip. Comedy horror with entertainment, funny scenes and deft satiric edge. A gang of furry, razor-toothed alies getting away from its prison ship to Earth with their bounty hunters right behind them. The not-so-loveable critters make it to a small town in Grovers Bend, Kansas, where they start attacking anything that moves. In Critters 2 (1988) eggs of the small but voracious alien creatures called Critters are left behind on earth and, after hatching, set their appetites on the small farm town of Grover's Bend. The townfolks become the main dish on their menu. However, the citizens will have the unexpected help of a couple of intergalactic hunters. The original second tasty entree!. When you've got Critters... you need all the help you can get. They bite!. The battle began in another galaxy. It's about to end in the Brown's backyard. They eat so fast, you don't have time to scream. The Main Course. Get ready for seconds... they're back!. It's Everyone's Turn For Seconds. They're back for seconds!. "Critters 1" got your blood pumping... This time they want more than a taste. Rolling In For Halloween. The most illegal aliens of all are back -- and they're hungrier than ever.
'Critters 2' had the good business sense to lay some eggs before getting splattered, so now Grover's Bend is up to its neck in the little buggers again, and the space-borne pest control are back on the job. Director Mick Garris presents a quite acceptable and violent but far more campy vision, paying myriad surreal tribute to movies as well as soundtracks of the 80s with great sense of amusement. Not just a thrill-kill adventure, but a sarcastic other-worldly thrill-kill epic. Naturally, there're lots of mayhem, frolics, antics and jokes , this all happening at the town and the countryside, while the result is a gang of nasty creatures who decide to tear up the houses, causing wreak havoc. The story is nothing more than an amusing excuse to string together gags, silly sketches, ironical craziness and fast-paced set pieces. Garris is surely right to let his visual imagination run along with likeable comedy, irony and inventive enough. The Chiodo brothers' creations are, as before, both spectacularly silly and disconcertingly vicious as they munch people's vital organs. The effect perhaps not unlike watching a video nasty. 'The filmmakers wish to thank the people of Grover's Bend, without whose support this motion picture could not have been made'.
Inspired by 'Gremlins', a dangerous bug film that enjoyed a certain popularity among fans of the genre, ¨Critters¨saga has had 4 movies. The 'Critters quartet' is made up of: ¨Critters I¨ by Stephen Hopkins with Dee Wallace, Billy Green Bush, Don Opper, M. Emmet Walsh, Scott Grimes, Billy Zane, Lin Shaye, it concerned a group of oversized mothballs from space who landed on Earth and ate everybody, until some intergalactic bounty hunters turned up and fried them. ¨Critters 2¨ by Mick Garris with Scott Grimes, Don Opper, Barry Corbin, Terrence Mann, Eddie Deezen, Lin Shaye . ¨Critters 3¨ by Kristine Peterson with Frances Bay, Leonardo DiCaprio, Don Opper, Aimee Brooks. ¨Critters 4¨ by Rupert Harvey with Angela Bassett, Brad Dourif, Don Opper, Terrence Mann.
It packs a thriling and terrifying musical score by Nikolas Pike. As well as atmospheric and adequate cinematography by Russell Carpenter. This watchable enough motion picture was professionally directed by Mick Garris displaying the characteristic surrealist humor and sense of style, but being inferior than the original flick. Garris is an expert on terror movies writing, producing and directing several films and TV episodes , Television miniseries of this genre , such as : ¨Sleepwalkers¨, ¨Tales From the crypt¨, ¨Quicksilver Highway¨, ¨Masters of horror¨, ¨Ravenswood¨, ¨Bag of bones¨, ¨Nightmare cinema¨, ¨The Shining¨, ¨Psycho IV¨, ¨Witches of East End¨, ¨Amazing stories¨, ¨Freddy's nightmares¨, ¨Desperation¨, ¨Sleepwalkers¨, among others. Rating : Passable and acceptable 5.5/10. The picture will appeal to completists of the ¨Critters¨ quartet and to science fiction lovers with drops of humor and terror.
