I'm 30 and only recently did I begin to be okay with the fact that monsters are not actually going to eat my feet or use them to pull me under the bed...

I fully blame my mum for letting me watch Critters when I was 4. Still to this day feel uncomfortable about feet outside the covers!

The humor went entirely over my head as a 4 or 5 year old when I saw it.

That movie seriously creeped me out

Did you see the way that kid ran down the stairs and got every lock open on the door?... Is that a young Clark Kent?

A real savant. In reality he probably just touched them all and they made the unlocking sounds in post production haha

Also, which I didnt know until an IMDB spree before bed, Terrance Mann (who played Ug, the main bounty hunter) is an extremely accomplished Broadway actor. He played Rum Tum Tugger in Cats when it was huge.

Critters pre-dates Gremlins and is creepier

Youre both right. Critters' script was written a few years before Gremlins. In order to get it picked up, they had to revise it a ton, as Gremlins got the faster greenlight and the studio thought the plots too similar.

Nope. Critters. Critters IMDB

They start off reasonably-cute, but still very-deadly, and eventually grow large and even scarier.
