The original Critters is one of my favourite movies of all time, so when I heard about this TV show, I was extremely excited. However, after seeing the trailer, I felt my excitement turn to disappointment and dread. Not only did it look really low budget, to the point where the Critters looked tacky and unrealistic (the originals were masterpieces of their time), but the series also seemed to venture into parody territories. The original had a lot of comedic elements, but overall had a different tone to what is presented in the trailer. It reminded me a little of how disappointed I was with Gremlins 2, as the writers just didn't seem to get the vibe of the source material. Here in the Critters - A New Binge trailer, there's a scene with two of them wearing comedy suits, which doesn't bode well. The trailer admittedly looks fun, but it very much gave me the impression that its creators have got Critters wrong. However, let's not forget how shit Critters 4 was, so surely this new series has to be an improvement?
