Following Gremlins, we were treated to Critters, which, sequels aside, wasn't too bad. This was followed with this monstrosity of a horror-comedy about tiny killer creatures.
The pathetic story is about the world's most incompetent night watchman who, despite warning, allows a group of diminutive, furry aliens to escape from a vault of an empty building & it's up to a security guard trainee to kill the creatures before the sun rises. Yawn.
The only thing lamer than the awful puppetry is the quality of the performances, every male actor plays a dickhead and every female plays a slut. It's also clearly obvious that a great deal of the movies consists of stock footage.
It's horrifying to watch, but not in the way you'd like from a horror movie.
1/10
