Critters 4 (1992)
4/10
Could've Been Better!

Warning: Spoilers
Don Opper, Brad Dourif, Angela Bassett and Terrence Mann star in this 1992 sci-fi/horror sequel. This sequel picks up where the previous film ended with bounty hunter, Charlie (Opper) finding 2 last Critter eggs. He gets a message from bounty hunter friend, Ug (Mann) instructing him to put the eggs in a pod to launch into space. Charlie does, but accidentally gets locked in and is cryogenically frozen with the eggs floating in space. After 53 years, The pod is found by a team of salvagers and they get a message from Counciler Tetra/Ug who thanks them for finding it and tells them to dock at one of his company's stations where they will be rewarded. He tells them not to interfere with the pod which gets opened with Charlie and the eggs getting thawed. After 2 members are killed, Charlie learns it's the future and helps the remaining members, Albert (Dourif), Ethan (Paul Witthorne) and Fran (Bassett) fight against more hungry aliens. Soon, Charlie and the others meet Tetra/Ug who's corrupt and wants the eggs. Charlie learns that Ug has changed and the film ends in a climatic showdown. This final installment could've been better and the main thing I didn't like was that Ug was bad. Brad is great as usual and probably one of the only good things about the film. I still recommend this if you're a Critters fan.
