Leonardo DiCaprio in One Critter After Another
Baby faced 17 year old Leo joins the Critters franchise with the action moving away from small town Grover’s Bend into an urban tenement building, where Annie (Aimee Brooks) is trying to motivate her widowed Dad (John Calvin) to spend more time with the fam, instead of actually working for a living and leaving her in the care of her elderly neighbours (including Mrs Tremond). Leo is the son of the arsehole landlord (William Dennis Hunt) who wants to turf the residents out for a big property sale.
Of course with Critters moving in, property values are about to go way down and the body count is about to go way up.
This is basically Evil Dead Rise but with furry porcupines. Classified PG on release here in Australia, this carried a stigma (with me at least) as not being as cool as the earlier entries, but it does have a decent script from future Crow scribe David J Schow, that gives the Crites even more hilarious minion style communicative mumbling. Oh and they can do the whole Sonic the Hedgehog spin attack now!
And it wouldn’t be a Critter movie without Charlie who plays an important role in bridging this movie with the shot back-to-back fourth instalment…
