Critters 2 (1988)

Fairly organic sequel off the original Critters, takes place again in Grover's Bend now about 2 years after the events of the first film. Scott Grimes comes back to town to visit his grandmother for the Easter holiday. Now Critters left some eggs as a teaser at the end of the first film, there was about three such eggs but somehow in the intervening years and through the magic of lazy writing they multiplied to a couple of dozen, many of which end up painted and planted around the garden for the church Easter egg hunt, you can see where this is going. Charlie comes back with the bounty hunters, turns out he's been helping them in space for the last few years. Barry Corbin replaces M. Emmet Walsh as Sheriff Harv, and Liane Curtis is introduced as a love interest for Grimes, she has a nice reassuring presence, too bad she didn't have more of a career. **
