Plots(1)
A smart homage to 1950’s B-movies, Critters sees a group of small but toothy extra terrestrials escape from an alien prison and land in small-town America with two shape-shifting bounty hunters in hot pursuit. Directed by Stephen Herek and starring genre stalwarts Dee Wallace and M. Emmet Walsh, the film was a smash-hit on home video, launching a franchise for the ravenous furry fiends. (Arrow Films)

What impressed me at first sight were the visual effects, which are incredibly good. Considering the type of film it is and the fact that it's not some universally recognized horror star, these effects are simply excellent. The way the face of one of the monster hunters transforms is absolutely fantastic, but there are also other bits, including the puppets of the Critters themselves. I have to highlight this film for that, because even more demanding productions sometimes do not have such excellent trick sequences.

Furry Minions vs. minions from Kansas and spacey bounty hunters. An eighty-minute music video of Modern Talking, without the singing. Thankfully so.
