Plots(1)
Inspired by the cult-favorite film series from the ’80s and ’90s, Critters Attack! follows 20-year-old Drea (Tashiana Washington), who reluctantly takes a job babysitting for a professor of a college she hopes to attend. Struggling to keep the professor’s children, Trissy and Jake (Ava Preston and Jack Fulton), and her own little brother Philip (Jaeden Noel) entertained, Drea takes them on a hike, unaware that mysterious alien critters have crash-landed and started devouring every living thing they encounter. While being tracked by the ravenous critters, Drea and the kids encounter an adorable, seemingly harmless female critter named Bianca, an exiled royal fleeing the critter race. As the critters converge on campus, Drea and the kids, who are now inextricably linked to Bianca, rush to head them off. Will Drea discover her inner badass, and will it be enough to stop the critter onslaught? And is the critter princess as innocent as she seems? (Roadshow Entertainment)

I remember the original Critters exactly like this - as deliberate trash with not-very-interesting actors, but with the cute black humor from the all-powerful critters. What I really like about the new sequel/reboot, which kind of rides on the Stranger Things wave, is that the creators don't use digital effects but classic puppets... And that makes it all the funnier. Sure, it's no masterpiece, but why the rigorous evaluation?
