After a teen has sex for the first time, she wakes up the next day nine months pregnant with an alien.

Critics Consensus

Snatchers' practical effects and strong writing come together to create a sci-fi comedy that's fun, frenetic, and at times, freakin' crazy (in the best way).

John DeFore

The Hollywood Reporter

Its level of laugh-scare-ick energy never approaches that of the genre pix that inspired it, but for something that was almost stuck being consumed in eight-minute chunks on cellphones, it's a credible debut.

Pajiba

Snatchers boldly blends suburban-weirdness, silly sci-fi, goofy gore, and tender teen comedy to create a movie that feels like Clueless meets Gremlins.

Dennis Harvey

Variety

The film percolates along thanks to the comic esprit of the players, snappy visual and editorial presentation, and the screenplay's "Clueless"-like fountain of entertainingly over-the-top youth slang.

Emma Simmonds

Radio Times

With its loose satire of adolescence and sketchy plot, Snatchers doesn't quite feel like the finished article - it's not up with the films it's emulating.

Rated: 3/5

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Snatchers is a story about a girl finding self-worth, mending broken relationships, and female empowerment through the process of killing horny murderous aliens.

Rated: 10/10

Odd but entertaining. Kinda like a teenage female empowerment version of the movie Evolution. Definitely watchable and mildly funny has enough going for it to keep you watching to the end but instantly forgettable.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Snatchers may not join the ranks of great horror movies about pregnancy, but there's enough gore and laughs to keep you entertained.

I generally agree with the critics reviews- there are a [very few] slow spots, and some looseness in the plot and editing, but this was a romp of comedy-horror that kept us both cringing and laughing throughout. There wasn't anything that took us out of the movie or jarred our reason enough to make us question it. A very enjoyable film- especially since there was virtually no one we recognized in it.

A nice surprise. Horror comedies are tricky to pull off but this mostly hit its targets. Think Juno meets Critters.
