Critters 3 (1991)

Critters 3 is chiefly of note as the film debut of a then 16 year old Leonardo DiCaprio, though he looks even younger. In this film some Critters get into a run down apartment building in what by implication appears to be Kansas City. Though it has a 0% Rotten Tomato's score and is cliché and mostly lazy, I honestly kind of liked it in a guilty pleasure sort of way. I'm a sucker for a 'small group fighting to survive in a confided place' film, and this fits the bill in a surprisingly family friendly sort of way. I oddly admire that effort was taken to give Aimee Brooks and DiCaprio actual story arcs, with Brooks's being mildly sophisticated, this lift's the film from *1/2 to **. Surprisingly watchable.
