Sadly Over-hyped

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

"Critters 4" has the best cast out of all the "Critters" films, with the perennially weird Brad Dourif, a pre-stardom Angela Bassett and her awesome-looking arms, and that guy who played the abusive husband-cum-catatonic in "Twin Peaks"! Unfortunately, it is also the worst film in the series. You may well fall asleep before the Critters even appear (it happens at the 35th minute), and even then they are at their stiffest and their appearances remain sporadic. There is one cute idea (the computer that does the opposite of what it's told), and some terrible ones (the worst: turning Ug bad for no reason at all). "Critters 4" bites. * out of 4.

Critters 4 I love El Rey network because they're always showing strange stuff like this fun little movie. And I'm pretty sure Jason X, the Friday the 13th movie that takes place in space, totally ripped off the plot of Critters 4. I think they're both put out by the same studio which makes it even funnier but whatever. Like I was saying before, this is a stupid but fun movie. I can not believe IMDb is ranking it so low. I am going to slap a ten out of ten on this ranking just to balance out the average.

I had to write a review after reading one made by another reviewer. N J Darrant i would really like to know if you were serious or were you being sarcastic. Great film? One of the worst i have ever seen in my life. A must see please, please, please, PLEASE tell me you are joking. One of the best films of the twentieth century, i don't think you should be reviewing any more movies. I know that review is fourteen years old, so i don't expect a reply or answer to the question, but i would really love to know if he was serious. There is NOTHING good about this film, it is actually worst than the third one. Critters on a spaceship, what a load of s@%*. my vote is one out of ten and if i could go lower i would.

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.
