Tonight's Film movie discussion thread is on the now dated 'Critters' from the 80's. It featured alien, shapeshifting cops in pursuit of another radically different alien, the evil Tribbles with mouths from Star Trek, Critters.
Trailer:
^^Note the similar music to Nightmare on Elm Street.
Movie: :eek:
I loved this movie as a kid, but my favorite from the franchise was definitely the second movie. Don't let this thread stop you from commenting on the Leonardo DeCrap'o one either, or the fourth one - In Space either!
I also loved how this appeared in the TMNT's first movie that was very popular. And the second one seemed to wasted the best chance we could have got at a Freddy Krueger vs Critters scene! I'm still pissed that didn't happen! Stupid Earthling...

Critters on the other hand, was something I came across one night on TV - I am sure it was streight to video in the UK and on TV not long after. One of those late Thursday night films you come across as a kid. 1988 or 1989 maybe?
Got me hooked right away - you can relate to the charecters a lot more, although they are all parodies of themselves and the charecters are 'camped up' - although you can see this in the movie making, it still does not stop you quickly getting to know who the charecters are and appreciate their actions.
It is on in the UK on some channel or another maybe every six months. Its a decent movie I do not mind having on. Gremlins I would deliveratly avoid.
Hell, critters has it all - sex, voilence, alien things, sci fi, cow mutilation and cool people.
I remember it getting to a point in the film where I thought it would only get better if they had a shit ton of guns, then was it Earl? who had the guns and the basement?
Yeah, that film was good.
