I am not familiar with the "Critters" horror movies from the 1980s, but apparently writer, director and lead actor Jordan Downey was when he decided to make this 6.5-minute short film last year. He is still under 30 today, but this is far from one of his first works. In my opinion, this was not a particularly good watch, neither in terms of comedy, nor in terms of drama or in terms of horror even. It is fairly atmospheric most of the time, but something is missing for me to really let me recommend it. I hope Downey can find that missing link for future films as it's always nice to see aspiring filmmakers who take on known franchises and sometimes even create something of great quality. This is not it, however. Thumbs down.
