The Krites recently returned to Earth after more than a 25-year hiatus in Shudder's Critters: A New Binge series, and now they're coming back in feature-length form in the new movie Critters Attack!, featuring Dee Wallace's return to the franchise.
IGN exclusively revealed the first trailer for Critters Attack!, which you can watch below. Wallace, who played Helen Brown in 1986's Critters, this time around plays Aunt Dee, and by the looks of the trailer, she's ready to wage war on the hungry Krites from outer space.
Not all of the Krites are looking to eat through the planet's human population, however, as one of the little space visitors seeks to help the humans in their battle against their newfound furry adversaries.
The new film is described as being "inspired by the film series from the '80s and '90s," so we'll have to wait and see if there are any direct story connections to the previous four movies in the franchise. Keep an eye out for Critters Attack! on Digital and Blu-ray this summer, and stay tuned to Daily Dead for more details!
"Dee Wallace (E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial), who starred in the original Critters as Helen Brown, will sink her teeth into the franchise for a second time in the mysterious role of Aunt Dee. Inspired by the film series from the '80s and '90s, Critters follows 20-year-old Drea (Tashiana Washington), who reluctantly takes a job babysitting for a professor of a college she hopes to attend. Struggling to entertain the professor's children Trissy (Ava Preston) and Jake (Jack Fulton), along with her own little brother Phillip (Jaeden Noel), Drea takes them on a hike, unaware that mysterious alien critters have crash-landed and started devouring every living thing they encounter. Coming This Summer to Digital and Blu-ray."
