Critters (1986), Stephen Herek | Horror Movie Club Review | S02E16

from Spooky Frog Horrifying Books Podcast · host spookyfrogpodcast

Jeffy and Samantha celebrate Critters' 40th anniversary, breaking down New Line Cinema’s 1986 creature feature: the ravenous Krytes, two deadpan bounty hunters, and a farmhouse under siege driven by practical puppetry from the Chiodo Brothers. They cover cast highlights, Gremlins comparisons, practical effects vs. CGI, the film’s blend of horror and comedy, survival tactics, and why this messy, fun 80s monster movie still entertains.
