       Critters is a 1986 American science fictioncomedy horror film
       starring Dee Wallace, M. Emmet Walsh, Billy Green Bush and Scott
       Grimes.
       The film begins on a prison set on an asteroid, from which a
       group of 'Critters' are set to be transported to another
       station. When the Critters kill two guards and injure three,
       hijack a ship from the station, and escape, the commander of the
       station hires two shape-changing bounty hunters to pursue them.
       On Earth, the Brown family are living in a ruralKansas town: the
       father, Jay; the mother, Helen; the teenage daughter, April; and
       the son, Brad, who keeps company with mechanic Charlie McFadden.
       When he and Brad are outside, shooting off homemade fireworks
       and playing with Brad's slingshot, Charlie accidentally hits
       April with a slingshot pellet, and Brad assumes the blame on
       himself to protect his friend (one of his apparent only friends
       throughout the movie). When on the roof later, Brad mistakes the
       Critters' spaceship for a meteorite. The ship thereafter lands,
       causing the ground to shake. Investigating, Jay discovers Brad
       in a tree, and allows him to come along.
       Devouring the majority of a cow, the Critters are interrupted by
       Jay and Brad's discovery of the carcass. The Critters thereafter
       consume a police officer, and later approach the farm and cut
       its electrical connection. Jay, Helen, and Brad go to check the
       circuit breaker, and Jay is attacked by one of the Critters. The
       Critters reveal they can shoot quills laced with a fast acting
       venom that tranquilizes their targets, rendering the limb or
       body temporarily numb or useless, and hit Jay in the right leg
       with one as his family struggles to pull him out of the
       basement. In the barn, April is attempting sexual intercourse
       with her boyfriend Steve when he is killed by the Critters, and
       Brad then kills one of them by tricking it into eating a cherry
       bomb firecracker he had in his pocket. Meanwhile, the two bounty
       hunters search the town, causing a ruckus at the town church,
       and then the local bowling alley. They are later recruited by
       Brad.
       The Critters return to their ship when the bounty hunters
       arrive, with their leader having kidnapped April, and start the
       ship up to fly away and escape the bounty hunters as well as
       firing the ships weapons to destroy the family's house out of
       pure malice; only then do they realize that Charlie and Brad
       were able to get April out of the ship before it took off, and
       Brad has thrown a homemade bomb made from Charlie's bottle of
       whiskey into the ship, causing a fire which lights off both the
       homemade bomb and the additional fuel the ship was carrying, the
       explosion supposedly killing all the Critters. The bounty
       hunters leave in their ship after giving Brad a hand held device
       that they say to "call them" by, and also by which the family's
       house is restored. At the very end, Critter eggs can be seen in
       the barn inside a chickens nest that seem to be ready to hatch.

       I thought this was a Disney movie for kids so I never watched
       it. Kind of similar to The Brood.
