“Critters 3: You Are What They Eat” may well be more suspenseful than the last one and even generally better but “Critters 3” has so many blatant plot holes and so many appalling piece of dialog and acting it’s hard to treat this one as being even okay.

In “Critters 3”, a family is on its way back home after a holiday and the two kids stumble upon the bounty hunter and the exterminator of the creatures Charlie (Don Keith Opper “Critters 2”); who then recalls his previous encounters with the creatures. The family obviously think he’s crazy and head back home but it isn’t long before the whole of their shoddy L.A apartment building’s tenants are fighting for their lives against the creatures so now that the power is down and the creatures are on their way who’ll save them?

The cast in “Critters 3” is laughably horrendous. Leonardo DiCaprio (“Inception”) stars in this movie as a bratty kid in one of his earliest works. He is quite amusing although I don’t think he should be. Don Keith Opper is really bizarre as always as Charlie. Annie (Aimee Brooks “Monster Man”) is an appallingly pathetic character.

“Critters 3” has more suspense than the last one, which was too madcap for me but this one has its fair share of stupid moments and all the suspense is killed by the horribly stupid acting. The dialog is stiff and so is the acting. The creatures are really stupid as well and this one feels like a really cheap knockoff of “Gremlins 2: The New Batch” as both are set in a big building although the “Gremlins” one is set in a skyscraper with more characters, more monsters and more mayhem (better mayhem at that). “Critters 3” might also contain one of the worst closing scenes ever as it keeps freeze-framing to give us the credits
