Critters - Watch Order: Story Timeline

Other Watch Orders:
1986 - 19924 Films5h 45m3 Average

This watch order focuses on the original Critters tetralogy, which tells one complete, connected story from the Crites' escape from intergalactic prison through their final confrontation in outer space. The four films maintain consistent continuity with recurring characters and an escalating narrative that moves from rural Kansas to Los Angeles and ultimately to a space station in the distant future.

The Story Timeline excludes the 2019 soft reboot and provides the pure experience of the original saga without any modern reinterpretations.
