I went into this movie not knowing it had predecessors of the same name. I know, a bit bad on my part. That being said, I also had no expectations or bar for it to reach. As a woman who has sat in an interview and listened to a white man tell me he was "only interviewing me because he was required to and that women should remain homemakers"....I get the battle for equality. However this movie was atrocious. It does nothing to empower women in its plotless script and everything to have us take 20 steps backwards. The attack on men was so over-bearing it was sickening. I don't need to beat men down to make them pay in order for me to be a strong independent and worthy woman. The lead female's acting wasn't very good either. She was supposed to be learning to fight after a traumatic event. Instead she was weak, inaudible, and cried a lot. Not a heroine. In the end their act to lock their attackers in a room made them stoop to the level of their attackers rather than overcome anything.
The first movie was fantastic with the second being pretty great also. I'd really love for this to be made! Come on with Netflix and Hulu and Prime and Shudder surely somewhere they can get it picked up. Or do a Kickstarter and let me back it to at least own it on dvd!!!! I really want this show!
This follow up is just sad. The original Critters made back in the 80's had better effects than this one. I thought the storyline was ok or just under ok. The acting of some was tolerable but the others were not very good. It was like a socially awkward experiment...as if the actors were uncomfortable with actually acting.
