Critters 2 - The Main Course Reviews
Critters 2: The Main Course
Director: Mick Garris
Cast: Scott Grimes, Terrence Mann, Don Keith Opper, Cynthia Garris, Al Stevenson, Tom Hodges, Douglas Rowe, Liane Alexandria Curtis, Lindsay Parker, Herta Ware.
Running Time: 93 minutes
Rated PG-13 for lots of critter violence, gore, language, and nudity.
The two alien bounty hunters from the original "Critters", Ug (the returning Terrence Mann) who still has the physical appearance of the rock star Johnny Steele while his partner Lee (Gregory Patrick) is still a 'nothing-face' & Charlie (the returning Don Keith Opper as Don Opper) who left Earth with them at the end of the original Critters is now a bounty hunter as well, are reintroduced to the viewer. After having successfully captured their latest bounty the threesome receive a message stating that residual Crite life remains on Earth & that they're payment is being withheld until all trace of the Crites on Earth have been destroyed, the three immediately head for Earth. It's been two years since the Crites tried to eat their way through the small American town of Grovers Bend & Bradley Brown (the returning Scott Grimes) is back in town to visit his Grandmother (Herta Ware) just as a local teenager named Wesley (Tom Hopges) finds some unhatched Critter eggs in the now abandoned Brown barn & sells them to an antiques dealer called Quigley (Douglas Rowe) who in turn sells them as Easter eggs. Predictably enough the Critter eggs begin to hatch & the little bloodthirsty hairballs start to eat their way through Grovers Bend. Only Brad & his reporter friend Megan (Liane Alexandra Curtis) know the truth, together with ex-Sheriff Harv (Barry Corbin) & the three bounty hunters they must convince the townspeople about the Crite's & wipe them out before it's too late.
Co-written and directed by Mick Garris, "Critters 2: The Main Course" is very similar to the original, it's almost as if the filmmakers said to themselves 'why fix it if it ain't broke?' The script by Garris & David Twohy as D.T. Twohy will seem very familiar to anyone who's seen the original. The comedy elements in "Critters 2: The Main Course" become distracting and feel a little out of place at times, when a Critter bumps it's head we hear birds chirping on the soundtrack, or when a Critter has the hair on top of it's head shot off it looks at itself in a reflective surface and says 'b*tchin' or when Lee turns into a topless model (Roxanne Kernohan) from a Playboy magazine complete with a giant staple in her stomach which she pulls out and throws away. There seems to be less straight horror this time around which is a shame, the atmosphere and threat is also missing because of the increased comedy elements. The special effects on the Critters themselves are moderately effective, yet they aren't noticeably any better than the original There is very little in the way of blood or gore, a bitten foot and flesh stripped skeletons and bones is as graphic as "Critters 2: The Main Course" gets, Technically the film is decent, while editing, music, direction, photography and acting certainly aren't going to win any awards. Overall, "Critters 2: The Main Course" is an good time waster especially for those who enjoyed the original, while this is not quite as good. Not a classic by any stretch of the imagination but certainly worth a watch as long as you have reasonable expectations.
The town infestation
You thought the first Critters was intense with just 8 krites. The krites come back in the exciting Critters 2. This time they are swarming they have infested the town of Grovers Bend. Bradly brown thought to be encentric returns to town. Charlie now a bounty hunters has finished a hunt. Are informed by the head aline. That the krites are still on Earth. They return detemine to blast the creatures off the face off the earth again.
This has one of the highest death count of the movies next to number 4. Don opper return to grovers been. The bad thing one off the main characters dies near the end of the movie when the krites gain up one him. Will Charile Ug and Lee finnaly wipe out the krites. Find out in the earth shattering conclusion.
