| DVDLaserDouglas PrattA variety of modest but well-executed special effects enlivens the otherwise run-of-the-mill effort about carnivorous aliens terrorizing a farm. The farm wins. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertWhat makes Critters more than a ripoff are its humor and its sense of style. This is a movie made by people who must have had fun making it. |

| Common Sense MediaBarbara ShulgasserLow-budget '80s horror-comedy has violence, cursing. |
| User ReviewMichael WOne of the funniest cult horror space adventure. Good old 80's |
