Critters 2
{New Line Cinema, 1988)

I need to warn you in advance: As I am watching Critters 2 and writing this, I am doped up on Vicodin. If something that I write doesn’t make sense, that’s why. Anyway, on to the movie!



Our movie for Day 6 is Critters 2, otherwise known as Critters Babies. At the beginning of the movie, we see the bounty hunters and Charlie (the hapless drunk from the first movie) on an alien planet, hunting down a different breed of dangerous alien. They get a transmission about how a sweep of Earth shows that their job wasn’t done, and there are more crites there. Oh, and they won’t get paid for the job they just did until they go back to Earth and finish the job. They come back just as it starts to hit the fan, meet up with the kid from the first movie, and fight the crites.

Here lies my problem with trying to be spoiler free. You see, simply by mentioning the events of this movie will give away part of the ending of the first one. I guess it can’t be avoided though. See, at the end of the first movie, we get a shot of eggs in a barn (hence part of my barn fear). Of course, they are crite eggs. With this knowledge and my referencing to the movie as Critter Babies, I think you can see where this is going. This movie also has WAY more crites in it than the first, and that leads up to the most memorable moment from the entire series, but we will get to that in a bit.

First, I feel it is important to mention that this movie takes place at Easter. Yes, crite eggs get mistaken for Easter Eggs. And yes, a man in an Easter Bunny suit gets killed by crites. Here, I’ll just show you.



All of this is but a lead up to the Giant Critter Ball of Death.



Sure, it might just look like a big fuzzy boulder, but look what it can do:



Seriously, if you haven’t seen these movies, watch them on Netflix or something. You would only be doing yourself a favor.

Our movie for Day 7 is the DiCaprio-tastic Critters 3.
