and they roll and they chew and they eat and eat and eat. Darn those space people for solving the critter problem.
This was one of those TV late night movies that is totally awesome because of its creativity. Oh course while I watched it, I had no dreams of Gremlins and never connected the two.
In reality, I guess Critters are Gremlins without the Gizmos, but then again Gremlins without Gizmos are just plain mean.
and Critters are just mean....
They kill with no reason, they eat like there is no tomorrow, and even the Church cannot save the poor town's cattle.
As far as a classic, this is not, but it and Tremors are up there with the most immaginative and creative horror movies of the past few decades.
