Critters 2. 1988.

Brad Brown returns to his home town of Grovers Bend to visit his gran for Easter weekend only for the Crites to return as well.

Very entertaining and action packed sequel that is almost on the same par as the original with some black humour mixed in by co-writer and director Mick Garris. The pacing of of this one is fairly much the same as in the previous movie. However, it takes some twenty odd minutes before the movie starts to get up in gear. So taking 20 something minutes to set the atmosphere and build up the story.

Scott Grimes returns as Brad or as the town folk call him "The boy who cried Crite". Don Opper returns as Charlie who isn't a drunk but now a space bounty hunter along with Terrence Mann. Barry Corbin takes over as Harv that was played by M. Emmett Walsh and Lin Shaye who now works as a secretary to the local newspaper.

The special effects are decent at times with the canon blasters and Crite splatter, at the end with the space ship appearing looks like a bit like a cartoon drawing. When Charlie meets his other self, it's not greatly done but suppose you go with what you can do, still a great Easter movie.
