Critters Attack! aka Critters 5 rated R for “bloody creature violence”

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Back in March, we let you guys know that SyFy's new CRITTERS movie had wrapped shooting in South Africa and MIGHT star Dee Wallace. And today we have word that the movie may very well be called CRITTERS ATTACK! and it has just been slapped with an R-rating via the MPAA for "bloody creature violence." Is this CRITTERS 5? I think it's a safe bet. And maybe this means we will be seeing at least a trailer very soon. Hoo-ray! 

This new CRITTERS movie is said to be directed by Bobby Miller (THE CLEANSE) with Adam Friedlander and Armand Leo producing. The last time we saw the Krites wreaking havoc was in Shudder's CRITTERS: A NEW BINGE series. You can check out the trailer below if you missed it.

Here's the official synopsis:

Pursued by intergalactic bounty hunters, the Critters return to Earth on a secret mission and encounter lovelorn high-schooler Christopher (Joey Morgan, Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse), his crush Dana (Stephi Chin-Salvo, iZOMBIE), his best friend Charlie (Bzhaun Rhoden, Van Helsing), and his mom Veronica (Kirsten Robek, The Edge of Seventeen), whose past will come back to bite them—literally. The series also features Gilbert Gottfried (Aladdin, Justice League Action) and Thomas Lennon (Reno 911!).

Jordan Rubin, Jon Kaplan, and Al Kaplan, the creative team behind Zombeavers and The Drone, wrote the series and serve as executive producers. Rupert Harvey and Barry Opper, from the original Critters film franchise, as well as Ivana Kirkbride and Chris Castallo are also executive producers. Jonathan Stern and Harvey Kahn are producers. Jordan Rubin directs the series, which is produced by Front Street Pictures Inc. and Abominable Pictures in association with Blue Ribbon Content. All episodes of Critters: A New Binge are exclusively on Shudder. STREAM THEM HERE.
