Plot
Template:More plot Annie, her little brother Johnny and their father Clifford are on their way home from vacation when one of their van's tires blows out, forcing them to stop at a rest area. While Clifford fixes the tire, Johnny and Annie meet Josh, stepson of their corrupt landlord Briggs. While wandering into the forest to retrieve their frisbee, they encounter Charlie McFadden, the bounty hunter who is after the Critters. Before they leave, Charlie gives Johnny a crystal, telling him it will glow bright green when it is "time to watch out for yourself and your family". Meanwhile, an unseen Critter lays eggs beneath the family's van and the family leaves, unknowingly taking the eggs with them.
Soon after they arrive at their tenement, the Critters hatch and sneak into the basement, where they kill the sleazy maintenance man Frank. When Rosalie goes to the basement, she is attacked by the Critters before being rescued by Annie. Meanwhile, Briggs arrives at the tenement to evict the residents, with Josh reluctantly accompanying him. When Briggs enters a room with Critters inside, Josh, having grown distasteful of his stepfather, shuts the door, unintentionally trapping him with the Critters, who fatally attack him.
After one of the residents is attacked and wounded, Annie, her family and five others (including Josh) try to reach safety by going to the roof of the building. Charlie arrives and destroys the remaining Critters, saving the remaining tenants. As Charlie is about to destroy the last two Critter eggs, he is ordered[<span title="Script error: No such module "decodeEncode".">according to whom?] not to and a containment pod sent from the Intergalactic Council crashes into the basement.
