obviously this series has encountered a problem by the fourth installment, that is a problem in story, while the direction, writing and acting are watchable, there is really no serious appeal in this movie. it could have been a decent movie, but the problem is that the critters are neither as scary as they should be, nor do they have as much screen time.

It seems that the producers didn't so much have a script as a battle plan: How do we get through the next five minutes? Interestingly, I was to ask the exact same question while viewing this...

Brain-numbingly slow, with rage-inducing superflous scenes and shots. There's no good reason for it to exist, apart from the obviou$. In fact, watching this abomination should be made illegal, as there's a serious haphazard of death by boredom. It actually gave my one friend a fever and put another in the foetal position. And who the hell let the writer of part 3 direct?! Incredibly, it might be even more horrendous and inept than that God-awful piece of shit. So that would be a 'skip it', then.

Pleasant surprise after Critters 3

GENERAL HEALTH WARNING: DO NOT WATCH ALL FOUR CRITTERS MOVIES BACK TO BACK - So, the fourth (and I pray to god the last we'll ever see) in this miserable line of creature-features manages the impressive task of sucking even more than Critters 3. Not as much a movie as a paralyzing stare down in the abyss.

Slightly better than Critters 3, but that's not really saying much.

The worst thing in life is wasted talent, so why did the producers of the critters franchise wait till the last movie of the series to get the best cast? Brad Dourif en Angella Basset? Really? In critters 4? and the writers or director dont do them any justice. Horribly written, blandly directed,averagely acted. Such a waste! Even the effects are terrible!

Critters... IN SPAAAAACE where no one can hear me groan in shame and pain.

I wonder if someone out there was eagerly awaiting the next installment of the Critters franchise?

Actually, they're invading _Alien_ territory. In the grand tradition of Billy Zane and Leonardo diCaprio once again we get an up-and-coming star in a Critters flick -- in this case, Basset -- but she acquits herself well in the cliched Sigourney Weaver tough-heroine spot. No better or worse than its immediate predecessors.

Die Hard in Space...With Critters

Possibly the best in the series. Normally taking a horror franchise into space is a death blow, but seeing as this one originated there it works fine. Before the Critters really arrive its just well done sci fi. lived in universe, plausable technobabble, fleshed out (to an extent) characters. They also return to the fact that the Critters are a technological and intelligent species themselves, able to work complex machines instead of just being relatively smart animals. Charlie, the series
