Critters

rhett · 04-21-2001, 03:19 AM

I just watched this great little movie yesterday after not having seen it for awhile. The movie is a great blend of horror, sci-fi and comedy, and I don't know why more people don't talk about it. This was one of New Line's earlier efforts and I wish they would do to the Critter 'saga' what they did for NOES on DVD. Am I alone here, or did anyone else enjoy the first film?

Yep, fun stuff indead!!!

I would love to have the full "Critters saga" on a nice box set with extras, but let's face it: if we get a dvd release at all it won't be that way (at least not as the NOES box set).

I only saw the first one. It's certainly a fun flick. I wouldn't mind seeing it on DVD either.

rhett, you're not alone. I wouldn't mind having the first one on DVD. Didn't care for the sequels.

I loved the first Critters! So much fun. I have not seen any sequels, how many are there?

Yes, I would most certainly add Critters to my DVD collection. I hope ther are plans.

Three sequels at the last count. IMO, each one worse than the last.

I thought 2 and 3 were very good sequels, but I thought Part 4 was a total dog. Yuk. Who can forget Part 3, it features Leonardo DiCaprio in one of his feature film debuts! Part 2 has some real neat parts, and is a pretty good companion to the original. Part 3 takes place in an apartment, and it is actually pretty fun, although nothing like the other 2 really. Great films though, I don't see why New Line hasn't at least released the first on DVD! Come on, it has Billy Zane!

Hell yes a DVD edition is needed. This is one of the movies that got me started in horror at a young age. I was sooo excited when my sister and I watched this one. How could anyone forget it?
