While I prefer the original this sequel is actually very well made. More Critters, more gore, more action, more fun. The cast is likable and the whole village is just very picturesque and filled with original characters. And the creatures and effects look just so much better than todays CGI. Wholy enjoyable movie.

If Critters was a sorry replay of Gremlins, then Main Course anticipates in many ways the barn-burning Gremlins 2: The New Batch.

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

It lacks all of the style and sense of fun of the original Critters and has no reason for existence -- aside, of course, from the fact that Critters is a brand name and this is the current model.

Rated: 1/4

Critters 2: The Main Course does what every Horror sequel should do: expand its universe and raise the stakes. Bounty hunters and giant critter balls never looked this awesome, and probably never will.

The best Easter horror film is Mick Garris' Critters 2: The Main Course.

Gone With The Twins

Amusingly, the Crite death scenes have grown more goopy and destructive, though the potential for greater showdowns and onslaughts is sadly unfulfilled.

Rated: 4/10

It isn't quite as adept at balancing the yuks and nyuks as the first film.
