Critters 4

this has to be one of the worst excuses for a film i have ever seen...who in the name of all things gave the writers of this film the money to make it...its like watching the sets off Red Dwarf...but cheaper...this is an unbelivable, terrible,rubbish movie...after sitting down and watching it i felt as if an hour and a half was stolen from me...not stolen...torn from me with a pair of tweezers...do not watch this movie...its bad...

Now this isn't saying much but this is actually better then part 3 in some way. The story takes place in space (finally) as it stars some great actors like Angela Bassett, Brad Dourif and the same actors from 1,2 and 3 Don Opper and Terrence Mann. Now the Critters acted really silly in 2 and 3 but in 4 they reduce the silliness and make them serious. But its a bit awful in a way. The actors at some moments say some bad acting and at moments the Critter puppets look really cheap. But I still enjoyed this movie and thats where the Critters Franchise finishes. They kind of finished the series good but not that good. And thats all I've got to say. So thank you for reading all my Critters reviews and I hope to for some more reviews for you guys to read.

This final Critters movie changes a lot of what has been the formula for the three first. Where 1, 2 and 3 relied on humour and gore with the occasional scare, this last movie instead goes for a dark and for the most part serious mood. It rips off the original Alien, which kind of works at times, but the silly presence of the crites ruins the otherwise gloomy feeling. The film had been better by sticking to one atmosphere, and not both.

Those pesky critters are now in space to munch on some new victims. I've said it once and I'll say it again. Anytime a franchsie moves the playing field to outer space, you know it is heading for trouble. While this wasn't the one to kill the series, part three was, it isn't any better then the other Alien clones on the market. Angela Bassett adds some heightened presence to it and it's moderately entertaining for what it is.

Rated PG-13; Violence and Profanity.

Critters 4 was a complete disaster. It takes place immediately after the third one and this time they invade space about 50 years in the future. A space ship unknowingly brings the critters on board not knowing the danger of the little monsters. I'm not really sure of the plot, or why the space ship is roaming around space. I;m not even sure if Earth exists in this fourth Critters. Perhaps I wasn't paying attention, but I don't think much of what is going on is ever explained in the film. About 50 minutes in, we see three critters. For a Critters movie, that is a major disappointment. The other three films were actually funny and had some good "scares" and special effects. The scares in the Critters movies were never bone chilling, but they were fun scares. This fourth one skips all that and is about 90 minutes of nothing.

There are no comical moments in this at all. The Critters' personalities from the first three are all but gone. And they kind of make Ug a bad guy. If you watched the first two, you would know he would never try to hurt Charlie. They completely ruined that character which is also disappointing. The whole movie just didn't feel like a Critters sequel. That's the problem when they take horror films and put them in space.

Putting a horror franchise in space to create a sci-fi vibe almost never works, especially for a comedy horror series. You have to spend so much unnecessary time explaining about how the ship works, what the mission is, all sorts of technical and downright boring information. It's Critters for Pete's sake! Have the fur balls roll around a hotel for all I care, just don't put them in space. Well they did, and the movie wasn't very good.

Disappointing last entry to a pretty good series overall. The appearances of the Critters were far and few between and the story of part 4 was a complete mess.

3/10
