This set contains all four films from the Critters franchise, which follows a group of small, furry aliens that are always hungry for human flesh. The first film, released in 1986, follows the Brown family as they are terrorized by the Critters in their farmhouse. The second film, released in 1988, sees the Critters causing havoc in a small town during Easter. The third film, released in 1991, takes place on a space station where the Critters are being studied. And the fourth film, released in 1992, follows the Critters as they invade a city. The special effects in these films are definitely dated, but that's part of their charm. The Critters themselves are cute and cuddly-looking, but don't let that fool you - they are vicious little creatures with razor-sharp teeth and an insatiable appetite. The Blu-ray transfer is top-notch, with crisp and clear visuals that really showcase the detail of the practical effects. The audio is also excellent, with a 5.1 surround sound mix that really immerses you in the action. In addition to the four films, this set also includes some great special features, including audio commentaries, featurettes, and interviews with the cast and crew. It's clear that the people behind this collection are fans of the franchise and have put a lot of care and attention into this release. Overall, if you're a fan of cult classics or just looking for a fun and entertaining movie night, The Critters Collection is a great choice. It's cheesy, it's fun, and it's a blast to watch. Highly recommended! Review: Cheesy 80's sci-fi at it's best - I remember watching this on VHS, it was wonderfully corny then as it was to watch now. The one thing I love about watching these older silly slasher/sci-fi films is that you never know (unless you remember) who may have gotten their start doing them. Jennifer Anniston in Leprechaun and for Critters, we have one guy who was later in Band of Brothers and Leo DiCaprio. Who had every bit of attitude way back!
