A new episode of The Arrow in the Head Show has just been released, and for this one our hosts John “The Arrow” Fallon and Lance Vlcek have decided to talk about the 1986 sci-fi horror classic Critters (watch it HERE). To find out what they think of this movie, check out the video embedded above!

Directed by Stephen Herek, who also wrote the screenplay with Domonic Muir, Critters has the following synopsis:

When strange fuzzy creatures from outer space arrive on a farm, the Brown family — Jay, Helen, their daughter April, and their son Brad — must fend off the malevolent little aliens. Two bounty hunters with superhuman abilities follow the aggressive beasts from beyond, but the warriors aren’t terribly effective, leaving the Brown family to battle the fur balls and rescue April from their clutches all by themselves.

The film stars Scott Grimes, Dee Wallace, Billy Green Bush, Nadine Van Der Velde, Don Opper, Terrence Mann, M. Emmet Walsh, Lin Shaye, Billy Zane, and Ethan Phillips.

Here’s some information on The Arrow in the Head Show:

We’re trying something a bit new here on Arrow In The Head. After many years behind the scenes, we’ve decided to take our sarcastic, booze-influenced style into the video age with The Arrow In The Head Show! Hosted by John Fallon aka The Arrow and Lance Vlcek, we will dig into not only the newest horror flicks hitting the big and small screens but also delve into the good, bad, and ugly of horror from the golden ages of the ’80s through the underrated 90s and maybe a bit beyond.

Something groovy and a tad rough around the edges, we are here to talk shop with a drink in hand, a bit of foul language, and a whole lot of heart.

The Critters episode of the show was Edited by Lance, and it was Written by The Arrow and Lance.
