Critters Attack (2019)

 It had been nearly 30 years since the last Critters film, I had hoped this movie would be a loving tribute by devoted fans, and that they would find a way to reinvigorate the nearly forgotten franchise, this did not happen. 'Critters Attack' is awful, it's slap dash, made on the cheap in South Africa for some reason, despite an unspecified American setting.

There was nothing new or interesting in this film, they tried to make a likable 'Gizmo' like Critter but they didn't invest her with any personality. There is no good acting in this. Dee Wallace returns from the first film, but due to a rights dispute they never use her characters name. She was definitely phoning this sucker in, just a paycheck. I saw this via Syfy Channel, it's where it belongs, and reminds me why I never bother with the Syfy Channel. *
