Gateway to Horror Screening - Suitable for ages 12+!!
A group of small but vicious alien creatures called Crites escape from an alien prison transport vessel and land near a small farm town on earth, pursued by two shape-shifting bounty hunters.
In the years after Gremlins took the box office by storm, the market was flooded with "mischievous little creature" features, and Critters was one of the very best. Featuring a stellar cast (led by the great Dee Wallace Stone), a good sense of humour, and some really fun practical creature effects, this is — like Gremlins before it — a great gateway horror flick for younger viewers looking to dip their toes in the scary movie waters!
