It is Easter time and Brad (Scott Grimes)
who survived the horrible incident with
those Crites two years before travels to
another town called Grovers Bend where he
meets up with a beautiful girl named
Megan Morgan (Liane Curtis) and meets
with an old enemy named Wesley (Tom
Hodges) who makes him unwanted.
A batch of unhatched Crites eggs were
discovered after their last visit there
and are mistakened for Easter eggs and
after they hatch they end up eating many
of the locals there as well as some of
the cattle too.
Brad doesn't want to believe that they
have returned as he convinced Megan about
his story 2 years before was made up.
However, they are being trapped by these
Crites.
Ug (Terrence Mann) returns to Earth to
try and save the day once again with
Charlie (Don Keith Opper) and a new
bounty hunter named Lee (Roxanne
Kernohan) who has a hard time keep a form
together.
They blow many away but however these
Crites keep on breeding and breeding.
The sequel to the original cult classic
really meets up and is just as
adventurous and good although many
critics and fans have bombed this sequel
but I find this film highly entertaining
myself.
We have alot of neat effects with the
shape changing of a bounty hunter and
lots of laughs too.
The Crites are very hilarious and deadly
at the same time as we have perfect dark
comedy and great action sequences with
this film having the heroes which are the
bounty hunters from outerspace
terminating these deadly critters. If you
enjoy action hero fighting with lots of
good laughs then you may adore this film
The acting is
still very good as we have another two
thumbs up for Scott Grimes
reprising his role and acts just as
adventurous.
Liane Curtis was another great one
in the film as she brings so much
character to her part in it as the town
local trying to stop the Crites as well.
Don
Keith Opper still has the knack with
his comedic performance reprising his
role as well but this time as a bounty
hunter. Way to go!!!!
Barry Corbin does a classic
performance as a tough as nails retured
sheriff who stands out terrifically too.
Supporting actor Tom Hodges
really knew his work by playing a dorky
teenage bully.
Lin Shaye tried to be funny with her
role as someone paranoid in the film but
she didn't cut it as perfectly as you'd
expect and almost looked like she took
lessons from a Troma Team production....
Well she wasn't THAT bad so maybe I'm
eating those words up.
Child actress Lindsay Parker is
great as a nice and helpful little girl
for the Easter celebration.
Terrence Mann is definetely still
wonderful as the head alien bounty hunter
as he shows tough energy and a nice
attitude too.
Supporting actress Roxanne Kernohan only
had one line each time she said something
but that didn't really matter as she
presented herself wonderfully and was
almost on her road to fame as a scream
queen due to her work in this film after
appearing in a documentary titled Scream
Queen Hot Tub Party hosted by
Brinke Stevens but sadly in the
early 90's died in a car accident. Bless
her soul.
Eddie Deezen was only in this film
for about 5 minutes with two different
scene's as a nerdy manager at a fast food
burger barn joint but really does
wonderful and will be remembered for his
performance in this film giving the film
that perfect slapstick moment.
Roxanne Kernohan
exposes her breasts in her first
apperance of the film when the putfit
she's wearing is torn off exposing them.
A bit more gore in
this one.
People are bloodily chewed up
A bit off hand
Cattle are devoured
Crites are squashed up and blown away
Mick Garris really
packs a punch with this movie making his
work very strong and funny too.
He shows nice settings of the county
there and people hiding easter candies
and Crites eggs around the church.
We see a great dialogue between Terrence
Mann and Don Keith Opper
chatting with one another while they are
in their spaceship.
There is a nice dialogue between Herta
Ware and child actress Lindsay
Parker when she gives her a nice
chocolate bunny as it really looks like
that they have the Easter spirit.
A nice horrific shot on supporting actor Douglas
Rowe being attacked by the Crite's
in a barn.
We have a camera shot rolling in under a
bed which is supposed to be a Crite and
then Parker's hand is lying
there and a nice zooming in on her hand.
There's a good moment involving
supporting actor Eddie Deezen
taking an order sounding annoying and
nerdy as ever which looked great.
We also see supporting actor Tom
Hodges coming on too strong towards
Liane Curtis as the two of them act
well with this like a bully against an
upset girl.
We have a good setting between Hodges
and Scott Grimes challenging one
another as it looks bad for Grimes as
he is about to get his butt kicked.
There's nice shot on supporting actor
David Ursin looking down into the
camera which is of course a shot on a
hatched egg. There's a hilarious moment
with three Crites curled up in a ball
that jump into his rabbit suit which will
make you laugh as Garris added
some good dark comedy.
A perfect shot on Ursin crashing
through a church window.
We see a perfect moment with Curtis
trying to confront Grimes about
the Crites returning when he tries to
convince her they aren't as it was
perfectly directed for a sequel.
We spot another hilarious moment with the
Crites gorging out on food at a local
diner and partying.
Grimes was great approaching Mann
and Roxanne Kernohan
after they destroy some Crites and
talking to them which looked very
touching.
Both actors Mann
and Kernohan really
pulled it off greatly with their
superweapons by blowing them away.
A hilarious performance by Deezen
when he is cloned into a bounty hunter
trying to do away some Crites which was a
classic moment.
Mann does well with his upsetting
reactions after his bounty hunter is
killed by his loud shouts.
A good shot and blocking with Parker runiing
away on a tricycle and the Crites rolling
after her while Grimes whacks
them with a bat.
A perfect moment with Barry Corbin
swinging his guns looking lowdown and
tough in his sheriff uniform after
shooting some Crites.
A good shot on the Crites rolling in the
field along with a giant one.
The best moment was when all the Crites
form into a gigantic ball and crash out
of a barn devouring everything in it's
site and then a spaceship crashes down on
them.
Opper
really was energetic when he drives the
spaceship towards the Crites during this
moment.
There's
some comedic classical music and some
adverturous music too by Nicholas
Pike as it seems passable but
nothing too over the top until close to
the end of the film with the Crites
forming in a gigantic killing ball.
Quigley:
It's just a dog.
Wesley: So was "Cujo".
Brad:
Nana, the critters are here.
Nana: No, shit, Bradley! Damn meat
eaters!
[Repeated
line]
Lee Evans: Kill Crites!
Megan
Morgan: Brad, You can't go in there.
Let's just get help!
Brad: Who are we gonna call?
Critter Busters?
Megan
Morgan: We need you, Harv. We Need a
sheriff.
Harv: Go check the yellow pages.
Brad:
Look!
Megan Morgan: Where are they all
going?
Brad: I don't know. Looks like
some kind of critter convention.
