Easter with the Crites: Critters 2, the Photograph Album
This is a companion piece to my 2012 blog review for Critters 2.
I could think of worst ways to spend a Sunday afternoon than with the fine folks at Grover's Bend. Garris sure gives Critters fans what they want even if the creatures are less menacing and more cartoonish than in the first film when they terrorize Grimes (who returned in a fun lead for this sequel); the money's worth is ample crites of various shapes and sizes. The number of faces like Barry Corbin, Lin Shaye, Eddie Deezen, Terrence Mann, and Don Opper are a treat. Even the bunny rabbit (well, the current sheriff in a bunny outfit) gets eaten! This also features the infamous monster ball of rolling crites combined to work down a country side to eventually run over and devour one unfortunate farmer! The Freddy Krueger pop culture reference was a neat reference. And Playboy gets a nice shout out as well.
