Critters 4 (1992)
7/10
CRITTERS 4
3 September 2019
So, in 1986 we had our appetiser. In 1988, our main course. Then in 1991, dessert. Finally, in 1992, we had our digestif: the glass of brandy known as "CRITTERS 4" (1992, Harvey) and what a nice end to the meal it is.

The Krites were obviously champing at the bit for retirement as they have considerably less screen time in this outing than in the previous instalments but when they're there they give it their all. Again: soulful puppeteers at work.

The music, composed by Peter Manning Robinson, is beautiful. At times it sounds like a cloud of stars, fizzing. Don Opper and Terrence Mann are back, great, this time with Brad Dourif and other talents.

Yes it would have been nice to have had more Krites and more zany antics, but I personally like this outing. In fact, it may be my favourite Critter film. I do like a brandy before bed.
