CRITTERS 2: THE MAIN COURSE (1988) — the definitive Easter horror movie!
April 18 : 9:15 pm – 11:00 pm
Friday Night WTF screenings are cheap, weird, and out of control! Cult trashterpieces, so-bad-they’re-good crapfests, movies that make you ask “What the hell am I watching?!” — we’ve got ’em all on Friday night.
“We really only need one solid horror movie to celebrate Easter with. One that isn’t afraid to spill some Easter bunny blood. Critters 2: The Main Course is that definitive Easter horror movie.” – Bloody Disgusting
It’s Good Friday, and you know what that means! …oh…you don’t? Well, it’s time for some Easter-themed horror, of course! And what better way to roll into Easter weekend than with the deliciously vicious CRITTERS 2: THE MAIN COURSE! What the original Critters was to Gremlins (a winking, if relatively sober, horror-comedy), CRITTERS 2 is to Gremlins 2 — a deliriously overstuffed sci-fi slapstick spooftacular! Set two years after the first movie (which you need not have seen to enjoy this standalone sequel), the film follows pubescent dork Brad (Scott Grimes) as he resettles in a new town over Easter weekend only to find not all the eggs are for Easter; some hatch furry, fiendish Critters! Directed by horror mainstay Mick Garris (The Stand) and packed with sizzling creature effects by the Chiodo Brothers (Killer Klowns from Outer Space), this movie has it all: intergalactic bounty hunters, PG-13 boobs, a giant fuzzy-yet-deadly Critterball, a surprisingly sympathetic depiction of genderfluidity, and, of course, the greatest Easter Bunny slaying in horror-movie history (see below).
