The Krites have landed! They are Back! Those carnivorous spikey nasty creatures from outer space! Vicious vermin with very sharp teeth and in some cases the ablity to make themselves into a huge ball of chaos! The beloved sci-fi/comedy-horror franchise makes its UK Blu-ray debut in this special edition box set from Arrow Video.

A smart homage to 1950’s B-movies, Critters sees a group of small but toothy extra terrestrials escape from an alien prison and land in small-town America with two shape-shifting bounty hunters in hot pursuit. Directed by Stephen Herek (Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure) and starring genre stalwarts Dee Wallace (The Howling) and M. Emmet Walsh (Blood Simple), the film was a smash-hit on home video, launching a franchise for the ravenous furry fiends. Two years later, Critters 2: The Main Course (which I do prefer to the first film- which I love) sees the Krites come back for seconds as leftover eggs hatch and attack the rural town of Grover’s Bend. Directed by Mick Garris (Stephen King’s Sleepwalkers) with a script co-written by David Twohy (Pitch Black), Critters 2 is one big ball of toothy delight and such fun!

Celebrated horror author and screenwriter David J. Schow (The Crow (1994) ) comes aboard for Critters 3, bringing the Krites to the big city. Marking the feature film debut of none other than Leonardo DiCaprio (Django Unchained), it was shot simultaneously with the darker, less comedic Critters 4, in which the ferocious furballs battle series stalwart Charlie (Don Opper, Android) in outer space, featuring a cast that includes Angela Bassett (Strange Days) and Brad Dourif (Child’s Play).
