User Reviews
RetroHorrorLover – 7/10
“I remember watching this as a kid and it still holds up as a fun, cheesy creature feature. The Crites are practical effects goodness, and the mix of horror and comedy keeps it entertaining from start to finish.”
ScreamQueen_88 – 5/10
“The concept is cool, but the execution felt a bit flat. The bounty hunter subplot didn't do much for me, and I wish the Crites had more screen time. Still, it's a decent time-waster if you're in the mood for some silly 80s horror.”
GoreHound1986 – 8/10
“For me, this is a gem of the 80s creature genre. The animatronics are impressive for the time, and the movie doesn't shy away from gore. The blend of dark humor and terror is spot on—definitely one of my guilty pleasures.”
MysticFilmWatcher – 6/10
“It's an enjoyable flick, but nothing groundbreaking. The Crites are genuinely creepy in a weird way, but the acting is over the top at times. I'd say it's worth a watch for fans of B-movie horror, but don't expect high art.”
