In the third installment of the cult favorite "Critters" franchise, a new batch of extraterrestrial pests find their way to Earth and begin wreaking havoc once again. This time, the Critters have targeted a high-rise apartment complex as their new hunting ground. John Calvin stars as Clifford, the manager of the apartments, who finds himself and his tenants under attack by the ravenous Critters. As the creatures continue to multiply and grow in size, Clifford and a group of brave residents band together to try and stop the invasion and save themselves from becoming the Critters' next meal.
Aimee Brooks plays Annie, a teenage girl who is spending the summer with her younger brother Johnny (portrayed by Christian Cousins) at the apartment complex. As the Critters begin their assault, Annie becomes a key player in the fight against the alien menaces, using her resourcefulness and quick thinking to help the others battle their way to safety.
The film also features performances from a young Leonardo DiCaprio, who plays Josh, Annie's friend and fellow tenant of the apartment complex. Although he was still a relative unknown at the time of the movie's release, DiCaprio's talent and charisma are evident in his scenes and hint at the shining future ahead of him in Hollywood.
As with the previous "Critters" films, "Critters 3" features a mix of horror and comedy, with plenty of bloody gore balanced out by humorous moments and quips from the human characters. The Critters themselves are as frenzied and ferocious as ever, with their teeth, claws, and insatiable appetite making them a formidable foe for the humans trying to survive their onslaught.
While the film may not have attained the same level of popularity as some other horror-comedy franchises of the era, such as "Evil Dead" or "Gremlins," it nevertheless retains a dedicated following of fans who appreciate its mix of scares and laughs. For those who enjoy creature features and B-movie scares, "Critters 3" is a fun and entertaining ride through a world where little aliens with big appetites pose a very real threat to unsuspecting humans.
Critters 3 is a 1991 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 26 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.5.
