Review of Critters

Critters (1986)
7/10
Horror spoof of Gremlins
3 January 2008
The main theme of the film is humor, you've got these little balls of weirdness with nippy teeth going after people. Its really quite funny to see. The added sound effects when they move around add to the humor.

This humor is tempered somewhat by the fact that these little balls viciously murder people. But hey thats part of the weird contrast in the movie.

The film has a good B-movie sensibility, the film doesn't take itself seriously in a good way.

However strangely enough this creates a good mood that sucks you into the film, and therefore the film has its share of tension and horror.

Good movie to pop in for teenagers to give them a scare, without psychologically scarring them like the hostel/saw movies will do.
