Critters Movies: Release Order
The Critters franchise blends horror, science fiction, and dark comedy around the Crites - small, deadly alien creatures with insatiable appetites. The series began as a straightforward creature feature but evolved into a space-faring saga that concludes the original storyline in an unexpected sci-fi setting.
This release order watch list includes the original four-film narrative arc (1986-1992) that follows recurring characters like Charlie and the shape-shifting bounty hunters, plus the 2019 soft reboot. The 2019 entry features Dee Wallace from the original film but as a different character, making it a standalone entry that doesn't require knowledge of the previous films.
