Critters (1986)

Spiny creatures from space crash land on Earth and make snack foods out of the locals in a rural town. The Chiodo Bros come through with more awesome creature designs on top of impressive low budget / high production value FX. The flick is pure 80s, with an even combination of campy fun and nostalgic SciFi Horror. The off-beat acting never takes itself too seriously, allowing the cast to have fun with the roles. The puppets have obvious limitations in movement, which the FX artists cleverly overcome by making the creatures ball up and roll. With several memorable laugh out loud moments, the film comes recommended, especially to fans of films like Invaders From Mars.

Rating: 8/10.
