Quick Answer

What is Critters Attack! about?

Critters Attack! is a 2019 American comedy horror science fiction film directed by Bobby Miller about a college student and three kids who must survive an invasion of ravenous alien creatures.

Programmer's Pick

Babysitting is hazardous enough without a horde of toothy aliens showing up. Critters Attack! takes the classic creature-feature template and injects it with college-town quirks, a resourceful heroine, and a nod to fans with the enigmatic Aunt Dee. The Krites haven’t mellowed with age—they’re as hungry (and mischievous) as ever.

Overview

Critters Attack! follows 20-year-old Drea, who takes on a babysitting job for a professor at a college she dreams of attending. Trying to keep two teens and her little brother entertained proves the least of her worries when their hike through the woods is interrupted by a crash-landing of carnivorous extraterrestrial Krites. As these ravenous alien creatures begin feasting on the local wildlife—and anything else in their path—Drea and the kids find themselves in a fight for survival. Their only hope might be the mysterious Aunt Dee, who appears to have her own history with these interstellar menaces. Balancing horror and dark humor, the film spins babysitting chaos into a full-blown creature-feature ordeal.
