Critters

“The battle began in another galaxy. It's about to end in the Brown's backyard.”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 56, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
Hungry alien furballs descend on a farming family while shapeshifting bounty hunters make the rescue more complicated. This is affectionate creature comedy with genuinely skilful puppetry; its presence on the shelf celebrates the ridiculous premise, not a failure to build convincing monsters.
