Critters 4 Audience Reviews

CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Critters1986 Now this isn't saying much but this is actually better then part 3 in some way. The story takes place in space (finally) as it stars some great actors like Angela Bassett, Brad Dourif and the same actors from 1,2 and 3 Don Opper and Terrence Mann. Now the Critters acted really silly in 2 and 3 but in 4 they reduce the silliness and make them serious. But its a bit awful in a way. The actors at some moments say some bad acting and at moments the Critter puppets look really cheap. But I still enjoyed this movie and thats where the Critters Franchise finishes. They kind of finished the series good but not that good. And thats all I've got to say. So thank you for reading all my Critters reviews and I hope to for some more reviews for you guys to read.
gwnightscream Don Opper, Brad Dourif, Angela Bassett and Terrence Mann star in this 1992 sci-fi/horror sequel. A bounty hunter helps space salvagers battle more hungry aliens. This sequel picks up where the previous film ended with bounty hunter, Charlie (Opper) finding 2 last Critter eggs. He gets a message from bounty hunter friend, Ug (Mann) instructing him to put the eggs in a pod to launch into space. Charlie does, but accidentally gets locked in and is cryogenically frozen with the eggs floating in space. After 53 years, The pod is found by a team of salvagers and they get a message from Counciler Tetra/Ug who thanks them for finding it and tells them to dock at one of his company's stations where they will be rewarded. He tells them not to interfere with the pod which gets opened with Charlie and the eggs getting thawed. After 2 members are killed, Charlie learns it's the future and helps the remaining members, Albert (Dourif), Ethan (Paul Witthorne) and Fran (Bassett) fight against more hungry aliens. Soon, Charlie and the others meet Tetra/Ug who's corrupt and wants the eggs. Charlie learns that Ug has changed and the film ends in a climatic showdown. This final installment could've been better and the main thing I didn't like was that Ug was bad. Brad is great as usual and probably one of the only good things about the film. I still recommend this if you're a Critters fan.
BA_Harrison Angela Bassett and Brad Dourif join Leo DiCaprio in the short list of Oscar-nominated actors to have played second fiddle to the Chiodo Brothers' crap Critter hand-puppets; in this fourth outing for the voracious extraterrestrial fur-balls, Bassett and Dourif play part of the crew of a deep space salvage craft who retrieve a cryogenic pod containing the last two surviving Krite eggs (and Charlie the bounty hunter, once again played by Don Opper). When the pod is opened, the eggs hatch and the aliens go on the rampage.Krites causing chaos in outer space could have made for a lot of fun, but rather than continue with the camp, B-movie spirit established over the first three Critters films, this effort goes for a much more sober style—something akin to Ridley Scott's Alien (but on a much lower budget).This approach results in countless scenes of characters wandering down dark corridors littered with ducts and vents from where the toothy creatures might launch an attack, but while this might work wonders when the monsters are truly the stuff of nightmares (like H.R. Giger's genuinely terrifying xenomorph from Alien), the effect isn't anywhere near as effective when the threat is from dumb looking hedgehogs with naff glowing eyes. In the end, Critters 4 is far from scary, never funny, and ultimately very tedious.
Toronto85 Critters 4 was a complete disaster. It takes place immediately after the third one and this time they invade space about 50 years in the future. A space ship unknowingly brings the critters on board not knowing the danger of the little monsters. I'm not really sure of the plot, or why the space ship is roaming around space. I;m not even sure if Earth exists in this fourth Critters. Perhaps I wasn't paying attention, but I don't think much of what is going on is ever explained in the film. About 50 minutes in, we see three critters. For a Critters movie, that is a major disappointment. The other three films were actually funny and had some good "scares" and special effects. The scares in the Critters movies were never bone chilling, but they were fun scares. This fourth one skips all that and is about 90 minutes of nothing.There are no comical moments in this at all. The Critters' personalities from the first three are all but gone. And they kind of make Ug a bad guy. If you watched the first two, you would know he would never try to hurt Charlie. They completely ruined that character which is also disappointing. The whole movie just didn't feel like a Critters sequel. That's the problem when they take horror films and put them in space.Putting a horror franchise in space to create a sci-fi vibe almost never works, especially for a comedy horror series. You have to spend so much unnecessary time explaining about how the ship works, what the mission is, all sorts of technical and downright boring information. It's Critters for Pete's sake! Have the fur balls roll around a hotel for all I care, just don't put them in space. Well they did, and the movie wasn't very good.Disappointing last entry to a pretty good series overall. The appearances of the Critters were far and few between and the story of part 4 was a complete mess.3/10
