Some
orphaned Crites are still kicking around
and Charlie (Don Keith Opper) tries to
warn some kids nearby about them and how
they got here and gives one of them a
crystal and tells them if it is green lit
it means that they are nearby and he will
rescue them but however, the rest thinks
that he is nuts.
However, they visit some family members
at an urban tenement the Crites reside as
their eggs are lying around there that
was owned by an eccentric resident.
They suddenly end up hatching there and
feasts on anything around there while
everyone tries to save their lives from
them but more and more seem to attack
from all around the building whever they
try to trap them out as they end up
eating through doors and walls.
Will Charlie be able to rescue them all
before they are all feasted on these
flesh eating beasts?
There's an interesting moment with Josh reaching for a
frisbee where there's branches and a hole
beneath it as he really tries to get it
and you almost jump when suddenly Charlie McFadden jumps out and acts crazy
about Crites coming into town and how
they got here as the only good thing
about this movie is the flashbacks.
We see a near jumping moment with
supporting character Frank in a laundry room when he tries to check
out a Crite when it's too dark to see and
it attacks him.
There are also funny moments like a Crite
answering the phone when Briggs is trying to talk and
reacts strangely after he hears the Crite
talk and shows a funny reaction too.
There's also good shots of them
foodfighting too, watching TV and
spinning into a ball and going at full
speed.
We see a nice and touching discussion with Josh explaining how his father died towards Annie.
A character in the film named Mrs. Menges was a one mean mother by
hacking a Crite with a meatcleaver.
There's a perfect shot on Johnny with a Crite spinning into a ball
about to attack him and Upper jumping in
the way to grab it and jumping off a
building while doing this.
Bottom line: Oh god what
happened??? The previous sequel was
making you want more but I didn't expect
it to be this lame and low key. The
comedy is bad and so is the horror too. The plot sucked the most as if the write
ran out of an idea after watching the
previous film as I nearly fell asleep
watching it and hoping that it will be
over soon. The story mostly took place at an
apartment with the Crites invading it and
people trying to get away from them.
Really folks nothing special here.
The acting is very
cheesy and corny but some did an okay job
with it. Aimee Brooks (Annie) seems to
pull off playing an intelligent teen in
the film.
We also have a young Leonardo
DiCaprio (Josh) in his first movie and
shows some good energy and enthusiasm
with his part. He probably wanted to
forget his work in this film without a
doubt since he moved on to much better
projects.
Two twin siblings Christian and Joseph
Cousins (Johnny) shared the bill with this
film but hey Mary Kate and Ashley
Olsen did in Full House.
However, it's pathetic they did that for
whatever reason. Both were charming
still.
Diana Bellamy (Rosalie) was a little too
melodramatic in her role but still can
seem like an interesting character but was good acting
outrageous towards another cast member in a certain scene by
grabbing him and telling him about the
creatures she discovered.
William Dennis Hunt (Briggs) played
a good landlord prick in the film as you
really want to despise him.
Don Keith Opper (Charlie McFadden) was way too much
this time and wasn't impressive at all.
Crites are
squashed and cut in half
The music
is very corny and cheesy by David C.
Williams like he ripped it off from
an episode of Tales from the
Crypt.
Annie: We rally have
to go now.
Josh: Give my regards to Mars.
Charlie: Don't be so quick. You're
not as smart as you think you are.
Rosalie:
Hey, you got the elevator fixed, Frankie.
Frank: Hey, not for you, Rosie.
There's still a one-ton load limit.
Marcia:
I still don't know what the hell is going
on here.
Mr. Menges: Ain't no rats, you can
be sure of that.
