    Critters 2

    ★★½

    This sequel is more ambitious than the first movie, but for the most part it's stuck recycling a lot of the same ideas. It's good to see some of the original cast return and the creature effects are still pretty decent. An enjoyable enough effort if you liked the first film.

    Critters

    ★★★½

    A really enjoyable horror comedy that stands out in the genre thanks to clever writing and some very black humor. The cast are pretty solid, but it's the furry Critters that steal the show. The practical effects are impressive and still hold up to this day. An underrated movie that has that great 80s feel to it.

    Halloween: Resurrection

    ★½

    A completely unnecessary sequel that immediately undoes all the hard work Halloween H20 did for this franchise. It's poorly written, acted and directed with very little to recommend watching it for, except for some gory kills. The whole movie feels too silly and such a let down after the last installment.

    Halloween Ends

    That's how it ends?! It blows my mind that somebody thought this was a good way to "end" the series. A bizarre choice for a story, zero suspense, lame kills and a lack of any original ideas completely sunk this movie. Michael and Laurie are icons of the genre and don't deserve to be mistreated in this way.
