 Thanks for checking out the show review video. We're gonna be talking about critters a new binge Which is the new show that was put on to the shutter service. Yes, I love shutter I will be putting plenty of videos up about movies on shutter and shows on shutter Shutter exclusives and in this case the critter series was a shutter exclusive. So this is a good follow-up actually, I believe to the puppetmaster littlest rike that I did which was an exclusive for shutter I do believe and Yeah, they they go hand-in-hand in a few ways actually Not just because of their kind of relative time period But also there's an actor in common and how how it's done all that type of stuff So for first off, let's talk about this real quick Subscribe, please hit that subscribe if you like these videos if you watch one of my videos and you have a Decent time at the least Please just hit that subscribe tastes you like one second and it can mean a lot for my channel and my channel growth And then that will encourage me to do more videos which You guys would benefit from so and I'm always up for suggestions on shows on movies stuff like that I do have a movie review that I will be doing in the very near future I'm gonna be doing the people under the stairs for one of the subscribers That is going to be coming up Hopefully in the next few days Fingers crossed. Sorry. I've just been kind of busy So typically you'll see my posts going up or my video is going up on weekends because that's when I have time But here and there I'll scatter it throughout the week, but all right. So critters new bench This just showed up. I'm posting this on Sunday it just came out on back on Thursday the 21st of March and They kind of hyped it, you know shutter height did a decent amount which you know any service is going to hype what they're about to be putting out makes sense and I think It's been kind of mixed reviews. I know there have been a bunch of people who have been kind of saying Oh, they're kind of let down by it and then other people were like, I love it. I think it's amazing. So I Start when I started watching it. Oh, by the way, no spoilers in this when I started watching it. I was Kind of like it's not what I was expecting not necessarily what I was wanting and then once I got Maybe three or four episodes into it because ten no eight episodes total Once I got two or three episodes into it. I was like Actually, I think like three. I was like, okay, you know I'm actually enjoying this right now and then by the end. I was just like Yep, I dig it. I dig it and I would take a season two by the way So one of the things that threw me off initially and this isn't really a spoiler Is that their their episodes are super short and I didn't anticipate that I was thinking Episodes will be between 30 minutes and 60 minutes and I watched I didn't look at how long they were I just put on the first episode and I started watching and then I was just like What is is that episode over? Are you serious because it was like ten minutes? And I was just like this has to be some sort of like joke that they're ending it right here And then they're gonna keep it going. No, like literally the episodes were like between eight Is it like between like eight and ten minutes each? So really it's it's like a feature film It's basically like an hour and a half film hour and 20 minute hour and a half film But it's broken up into episodes and say it's a show. So I Kind of took it because of how self-aware the whole series is I took it as this is kind of a joke about streaming services having like certain Length episodes of shows and certain numbers Which is something I've kind of gone off about here and there on some of these videos I think the Umbrella Academy review that I did was one of the ones I talked about that type of stuff and Yeah, so I think they were kind of like taking a shot at people who do that kind of stuff and be like Oh, well, it has to be a certain amount of episodes and we try and make it around the same length when really you should just kind of do whatever length makes sense for the story and do however many episodes make sense for the story and they could have just done critters as one movie and It plays like a movie if you would just put it together that way But I think they wanted to do it this way to kind of make a statement And I think it's kind of funny at first I was thrown off and I was just like what is this garbage? Why are you doing this and I was like, oh I think they did this to kind of be funny and I get it and I kind of like I dig it kind of But it was just a little little bit annoying having to go back and be like oh that episode's over Let's go the next one's gonna next one. It was so frequent So but you know, I get it. So overall, what are you gonna get into? Hopefully people who are watching this are watching it because they're like, should I watch this? Should I not? So I'll set realistic expectations one. It's very low budget it Comes off low budget around the same as the puppet master the littlest rike So like you can definitely tell just watching it seeing the quality of the acting they they They kind of tried to skimp on like the practical effects And but kind of like with the littlest rike They they put it where it counts, which is they put enough into the actual critters And I think they were very Creative with the way that they made the critters interact with the people like there are times where if you were watching Close enough you you were seeing that like someone's covered in critters and they're like They're doing the acting of like shaking the critters where they need to to make it look like they're alive and attacking and They did a decent job with that actually, but you can also like tell you're like yeah This is pretty low budget so I can like tell that, you know, this person's just doing all the work for it They just kind of put them on there, but hey, I mean I think it works especially for the tone They set so it's a lot like a sharknado type movie. Like I said, it's very self-aware. It's very campy It's very like over-the-top You know that when they're making this they were not thinking this is going to be serious We're going for something very serious We're trying to do a serious story and you'll see that in the actual storyline because it's it's ridiculous But honestly, I thought that was fun about it like this is going back to That kind of critters 80s campiness and then ratcheting it up and upgrading it for nowadays Like I said like kind of like a sharknado, which a lot of people love those sharknado type films So I think it fits nowadays. I think it goes well as long as you're fine with a really low budget I'm just gonna call it a movie. It's basically a movie as long as you're cool with like a really low budget movie that is over-the-top and campy then Okay, you're gonna like it and I did I did I had a fun time with it. I think that the overall Storyline as it got ridiculous. I found more enjoyment in the ridiculousness of it and they had a few really good jokes They did have some jokes in there that were just like okay, like a Little corny too corny not no one's really gonna laugh at that But they did have enough good jokes that I was like that's funny I like that that's a fun time and like the big twist in the ending is Delightfully absurd I will say just delightfully absurd in my opinion and I Believe it kind of sets things up if they want to do a season 2 they can go ahead and do a season 2 and I would watch that. I would definitely watch it. So You know, I just like this this idea of mining the 80s and mining old nostalgic Material and and putting a show or or a movie on shutter about it And and you can keep it low budget like this as long as you're keep as long as you're selecting these like more ridiculous kind of campy Not considered to be like awesome movies as long as you're choosing that material and making these low budget things I think you're gonna be okay So overall I really enjoyed it the acting is what you would expect for a super low budget film But Tom Lennon shows up in this one just like he was in the puppet master littlest, right? He is in critters, which I was like. Oh, that's awesome So if this would become a theme and they continue to do more of these exclusives is Tom Lennon shows up in everyone I'm excited. I think he's an awesome actor and especially for how low budget these are. I feel like he adds a a I don't want to say inappropriate level of acting he adds a undeserved level of acting to what the material is and It's nice like it's nice and and like I said, I just like him. I think he's funny I think he's a good job Gilbert Godfried is in this too and I was like, ooh, how's this gonna go? He did a good job. He was funny. He had some good parts in it and Yeah, the practical effects are not great. You can tell that they really skimped on a lot of stuff, but I Feel like you kind of forgive it like as you're going on and you get used to okay, this is super low budget Okay, you know, they really needed to to rain things in you kind of get it and you're just and you become more forgiving with it You're like, that's fine. Whatever, you know, they put it where it counts They they had really good design on the actual critters themselves and there is something That was probably more ambitious that they went for it in the very end And I think that they kind of made the whole thing With that in in mind is that they need to do a lot more stuff at the end that was going to be more Expensive so they needed to kind of like skimp up upfront until they got there So or actually they could have shot that end portion first. Who knows, you know Films don't shoot in order necessarily so But anyway, that's kind of my quick ish. I mean, it's about 10 minutes But that quick ish Review of it with no spoilers because I it doesn't like the puppet master littlest, right? It doesn't need spoilers It just doesn't just watch it if anything in what I said sounds at least a little bit intriguing Actually, just check it out. Just watch it. It's not a huge time commitment And I thought it was a lot of fun Like I said, if you like sharknado and stuff like that and like ridiculous campiness And you're fine with low budget Go for it. So shutter. Let me say to you guys great job Very happy just keep doing this type of stuff.
