Format:VHS Tape
This film is an entertaining sci-fi/horror crossover with comedic elements. Mayhem occurs when a spaceship, containing carniverous furballs that have escaped from an intergalactic maximum security prison, land in sleepy, rural Kansas. Shooting poisonous quills from their bodies and sporting razor sharp teeth, these creatures, called "Crites", are far from cuddly.
Hellbent on eating anyone or anything that stands in their way, these space invaders make their way to the Brown farmhouse. There, they proceed to terrorize the Brown family, and matriarch Helen Brown (Dee Wallace) spends her time shrieking in horrified desperation.
Fortunately for all concerned, two bounty hunters from outerspace arrive, dressed from head to toe in brown leather and armed with what look to be telescopic bazookas. The leader of the two looks like a rock singer. The other bounty hunter cannot quite seem to make up his mind as to whom he wishes to look like. What follows on the heels of their arrival is sure to keep the viewer entertained.

Alien bad buys escape from prison (The Kriten 8). They look like my cats when they have been overfed and sound like Corey Burton. They have a mischievous attitude and lots of teeth. If you get too close they will quill you. If you get in their way you will end up on the menu in their Kriteria. Luckily they are potty trained. However all good things must come to an end and bounty hunters are sent out after the Krites. The fun comes in the three-way interaction and dialog between the Krites, hunters, and humans.

This is a very entertaining film, well-made, and has a good cast including amongst others, Dee Wallace Stone and Billy Zane.
We start off in space and the 'Krites' have just escaped from their maximum security prison. They steal a space ship and crash land on Earth. Poor Bastards!
The Krites look like a cross between a Porcupine and a Hedgehog, only with big teeth, and an appetite to match. They will eat anything, even humans. And so the fun begins.
The action takes place in a small American town, and mostly on a farm a good stretch away from the main town.
This is a very funny film, and maybe a little scary to youngsters, but they shouldn't be watching this anyway.
I highly recommend this film and it's sequel, which is even better.

for and while i found it amusing but only watch it if you ain't got anything better to do.
