Movies like Critters

In this horror sci-fi classic, a gelatinous creature from space begins to consume everything in its path in a small town. Like Critters, The Blob features a non-human antagonist with a voracious appetite, and it balances scares with light-hearted moments.

Horror aficionados who enjoy the miniature terror of Critters might find Puppet Master's plot compelling, where a group of anthropomorphic puppets come to life with devious intent. The movie's combination of horror elements and living creatures can easily resonate with Critters fans.

This film's blend of sci-fi, horror, and comedy closely echoes the tone of Critters. In Night of the Creeps, college students face off against alien slugs that turn their hosts into zombies. It offers the same kind of genre hybrid fun, with a heavy dose of '80s nostalgia.

Ghoulies offers more small-monster terror as it follows a group of demonic creatures that are summoned by a satanic ritual. Critters enthusiasts will revel in the low-budget effects, the B-movie charm, and the outrageous premise.
