neutral · AI labelView post →Critters came out this day in 1986 and it is one of those formative movies for me. I don't know why it clicked so hard for me as a kid but the blend of humor and horror definitely shaped my tastes in media. So thanks for making me so fucking weird Critters I love you.

The cult horror film about these devilish creatures was directed by Stephen Herek and stars Dee Wallace, M. Emmet Walsh, Billy Green Bush, Scott Grimes, Billy Zane, Ethan Phillips and Lin Shaye.
