Critters Attack! - The Cinema Snob

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

0:00Critters Attack! arrived in 2019, after a long gap following Critters 4.
1:14Jones explains Wallace's return as Aunt Dee rather than Helen Brown.
9:20The recap introduces Bianca, a friendly Krite queen, alongside the creatures attacking the town.
13:42Jones wants more Critter action and less emphasis on making the movie adorable.
20:00His verdict credits the acting, practical effects and increased creature action compared with parts three and four.
20:20Jones chooses Critters 2 as his favorite installment.

Brad Jones reaches the end of his Critters movie run with a verdict that sounds almost reluctant: "So, color me surprised. It wasn't half bad." For The Cinema Snob, that is a perfectly serviceable happy ending.

"Critters Attack! - The Cinema Snob" was the most-watched of Stoned Gremlin Productions' three new uploads, drawing about 22,000 views. Jones recaps the 2019 sequel's babysitting disaster, friendly Krite queen and return of Dee Wallace, this time as Aunt Dee rather than her original character, Helen Brown. His complaint is about tone: the adorable creature business gets in the way of the toothier action he wants. But the acting, practical gore and greater supply of Critters give him reasons to warm to it.

Viewers are bringing their own franchise baggage. Some question how the queen subplot fits the earlier films' egg-laying lore; others remember renting this installment from Redbox or catching pieces of it on television. One proposes taking the creatures to the Wild West.

Elsewhere, Brad and Doug Walker reviewed the new adaptation in "The Cat in the Hat | Midnight Screenings Review," while a Maximum Overdrive Short celebrated its trailer. The previous Critters 4 review, featuring Brad Dourif and Angela Bassett, also remains among the channel's busiest regular videos.

Subscribers stayed unchanged, though today's viewing is above the channel's usual daily level. Among nearby film-commentary channels, Dan Murrell is enjoying a pronounced daily lift, while HelloGreedo is quieter than usual. Here, the week's main attraction is Jones discovering that a late franchise entry has a little more bite than expected.

I remember seeing the ads on Sci-fi channel but I only ever managed to catch like the last 10-20 minutes. Honestly felt like I was watching two different movies that were filmed in the same location and then edited together at the last moment.

Well they brought back the Critter ball and the spikes so they are automatically one of the better in the franchise. Thanks Snob!

Dee Wallace and the gore were the movie's saving grace for me. The puppets weren't bad but the CG, and the Critter ball, made me laugh by how cheap they looked.
