I'm watching your video in 2024 because I've noticed that my videos are showing up after yours. I did a critter prop video. I wish they'd make more critter movies! This was great! Very well produced! I've always thought of it as a great franchise. You have inspired me.
Jordan Downey, I love the way you reimagined the shapeshifting bounty hunter. He looks like a being made of pure energy, rather than a guy in a rubber mask. Not to rib on practical effects, mind you. Overall, this film has amazing production value. From the Crite to the eggs, and so on, it all looks professional.
I did not know that there is a fan base for critters. I thought it was just me. Who am I? A ten year old in the late 80s who was renting the video tape of critters numerous times in the video club store in Greece. Now I realize that it is normal to be a fan.
Jordan Downey did more in less than seven minutes then both the Critters sequels after 4 put together. Give him the series. Let him carry it on. KILL MORE CRITES!
It's the fact that this is so much better than either the new series (which seems to have been written by someone who tried to write a new sequel to Airplane and got mixed up & is acted people who have never seen a script or camera before) or the new movie (slightly better than the series but still beyond bad) speaks volumes.
Amazing. This was quality right here. Hollywood could really take notes from you. The atmosphere and music was spectacular and chilling. The effects were great, especially the bounty hunter's sort of "cosmic" look. I wouldn't mind sequels here. I enjoyed this more than the last two movies we got from Hollywood.
This was definitely a quality film. Very detail oriented. Everything from the what was playing on the TV to the toilet seat cover. This is a true fan film brought to the next level. I'd to see this turn into a series! Great work!
I am so excited that I got to be a (small) part of this. It turned out so well! Congratulations, and I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did. Good luck :)
From sound effects, to visual effects, music and everything else, this was amazing. It's actually that would, it would be a genius longer film to see on Netflix
Not only is the production on this really good, the horror element was done right. Instead of simple jumpscares, there was plenty of tension and suspense as the bounty hunter hunted for the crite. Job very well done.
I just suffered through A New Binge and it was atrocious. Your work here is a million times better, more faithful to the franchise and has so much more production value. Why they didn't at least ask you to work on the new series is beyond me. I hope you get a chance to do more with the Critters franchise in some capacity in the future. Thank you for making this labor of love and take care.
Personally, I don't think Critters have gained as much recognition as Gremlins and it should. I definitely loved the comedy though! Those Crites are twisted but hilarious! 🤣
I didn't think I'd like this as I'm quite attached to the original movie but I really enjoyed it. In a world of awful reboots i found it surprisingly faithful to the original. It'd be fun to see it with a VHS filter on including the audio distortion .
I've been a huge Critters for for about 20 years now, and I can honestly say this is the BEST Critters-related thing since the films themselves. I mean that. You absolutely are the man for the job!
This is shot better than 50% of movies that actually get greenlit (*sharknado etc) and better than anything AnchorBay has ever produced. These guys who did this fan film know exactly what they are doing and what the fans want.
Attention to the mythology and faithfulness to the originals is what Hollywood consistently continues to miss. Every time, it seems. It's this whacked notion that 'so long as it's new and different than the last, it'll be better' for the new generation excuse. And fans don't want familiarity because they need it. They just want it because they want it and to see a continuation of the same world as the former films, and this short piece of art you made shows this perfectly. You show respect and homage to Ugg and the style and the suit of the bounty hunter, and no face - even down to the detail of song choice at the end. It's what made James Cameron's Aliens so great, because he continued the story from Alien and respected the original. Hollywood's version of making a sequel is Alien Resurrection or Alien Vs Predator. We need artists in control again. Fright Night Part II 1988 version is the prime example of an incredible horror sequel, opening film shows flashes of the original. Opening dialogue mentions and discusses former character and head villain from the original and the entire movie pays homage and respect to the original, whilst introducing new characters and scenarios. But sequels aren't made that way anymore and that's why they and Hollywood suits suck.
I've been watching fan films for years and let me just say this is easily among the best,,, and that list is very short. The look of the production alone earns you an A+. Hope your dream comes true as you clearly deserve it.
By the far the best "fan film" I've ever seen- most the time I get bored watching them or feel like the supposed "fan" doesn't understand what's good about the thing they're a fan of. This is spot on. Clearly made my professional filmmakers too. If that series ever happens, of course it's gotta be your job 👍🏻
I have been hoping for a continuation, a book series or a remake of this film series for ages. I would love to see this real deal happen. There needs to be a backstory or some lore on the krites/critters. I would support you 100%. Thanks for the great work of art you have here.
He who fears nothing - I wish the same - Critters is one of the most neglected franchises there is when it comes to additional content for fans. At the same time, that’s what makes it a little special. We’re left with questions that are never answered.
Fantastic work, definitely 1 of the better produced/directed fanfilms out there. Well worth a watch for Critters/80s fans with the practical fx work. Plus...director of Thankskilling? Give this dude the job!
I'd rather watch this on repeat for 2 hours while a critter mauls me than ever see a single clip of critters attack again .... seriously there is more effort and talent in this than amazing fan film than the whole cast and crew of critters attack ...well done ...
These movies were a source of many nightmares as a kid, but I still loved watching them. (Except 4, didn't care for that one) Great fan film, especially the effects and creature design. I hope you guys get the green light to create more like this!
I am fan of the Critters . Congratulations for this short , is SPECTACULAR ! Yo soy fan de los Critters. Felicitaciones por este corto , es espectacular !
excellent form to homage one of the best science fiction sagas of all times, is very cool, capting the dark atmosphere of the original films, even with a new version of the esplendid song, i hope that someday the critters return as a webseries, congrats to the creators of this awesome fan film, is out this world, !YEAH¡.
You have shown much respect to the series in this fan film, well done. I really liked what you did with the Bounty Hunter's face it's a better look than the original faces I think. If you don't get to direct I would still love to see more stuff like this from you guys.
I loved this short, yet could not believe when I saw new material on the net, just watched the entire series last week to see details of direction and above all remember that loved these films, greetings from Mexico, "Esta Chingon"
Great short movie for Critters! The alien head effect is new and spot one but the critter creature looked fantastic. My son (11 yrs old) and I saw the original Critters yesterday and he loved the movie. I never knew of this short movie until today. Very well done!
After Critters 2: The Main Course, this is the best continuation of the story. Excellent work and thanks for delivering a stellar contribution to a series that should’ve gone on to be THIS GREAT.
This was a really cool throwback, and I really hope you get the job. You showed a lot of potential and good work in modernizing Critters while pulling it back to its roots. Also, any possibility of that Power Of The Night cover being released? That would be spectacular.
Love this!!! Nice touch with the bounty hunter's "Nothing Face" glowing. There are very few well made fan films in existence, or at least from my viewing experience so far, and this is one of them!!! Everything here is nice and authentic, including the bounty hunter's costume and gun, and course the critter/eggs! I loved the little cameo from Terrence Mann (on the t.v.) here, and the "Power of the Night" cover song at the end credits!
gorygonzalez Thanks man, the POTN song gives me chills - must have played that track on loop who knows how many times as a kid. Nick Soole, the composer, who also did the remix absolutely killed it!
gorygonzalez I agree very faithful to film/source. It is 2015 though i can see why they wanted to improve from the previous blue glowing head graphics.
This was legit! A lot of details and subtleties to this that show passion for the source material. I'm highly impressed. Will recommend it to a lot of people. Keep up the good work!
Jordan's Fan Film > Critters Part 3 and 4 Congratulations to everyone who was involved in making this. Really great job and wish you all the best of luck in the future.
I've just been recently getting into the Critters franchise, and I gotta say, this was great. Cinematography and special effects were just fantastic. I can see this being an actual feature length film apart of the franchise.
I'm happy to see that one of my favourite horror comedy movies didn't get CGI-ed like most of today's remakes.Great job,hope you make another ''Critters'' sequel
This is great!! So glad to see that you're still at it. Hopefully this will get the recognition it deserves and will land you a spot on the Critters team. Good luck!
The Johnny Steele "Power of the Night" song was a great touch, as well as Terrence Mann on the movie playing in the homes TV. Such a great job. Make more. These are the people Hollywood needs these days.
I wanted to leave another comment. This is an excellent film. You absolutely deserve to direct this new web series. I have been begging and begging all over Twitter for someone to do this and I am very happy with this film and I really hope you are chosen to revive the series. I went back and watched the first one last night. My favorite part is Charlie waking up in the holding cell yelling "They're comin'!" Brilliant! And remember, you can always cast Didodi for any type of appearance in a "Critters" production. It would be my pleasure! Good luck to you and your team!
+Jordan Downey Hey you guys plan on doing more fan films based on cult classics or is this the last one, the reason I'm asking this is because it's really well done.
Man, I just saw the trailer for the new Critters series and your fan film looks SOOOOOO much better and what I was hoping to get out of a new Critters series. Really wish you would have been able to make it instead.
I'm watching your video in 2024 because I've noticed that my videos are showing up after yours. I did a critter prop video. I wish they'd make more critter movies! This was great! Very well produced! I've always thought of it as a great franchise. You have inspired me.
"KILL CRITES!!" Leave it to the fans to make a kickass continuation of this great series!! Great job!!
JMD Nelson thanks!
Yes! 😂
I completely agree.
this needs to be a full film! :D
That would be nice. It could be between 1 and 2. I'd rather see that than a bloody remake.
@@jesseredwards Fucking right the remake they released this year is embarrassing and insulting to a fan like me. I literally threw it in the garbage.
@@darthbane2669 Critters Attack is not a remake it is a sequel but a pretty bad one i do agree.
Subscribed!
@@jesseredwards No, it's between 2 and 3
Jordan Downey, I love the way you reimagined the shapeshifting bounty hunter. He looks like a being made of pure energy, rather than a guy in a rubber mask. Not to rib on practical effects, mind you. Overall, this film has amazing production value. From the Crite to the eggs, and so on, it all looks professional.
Exactly. This was done very well. Much better idea. The new look is way better.
I did not know that there is a fan base for critters. I thought it was just me. Who am I? A ten year old in the late 80s who was renting the video tape of critters numerous times in the video club store in Greece. Now I realize that it is normal to be a fan.
Jordan Downey did more in less than seven minutes then both the Critters sequels after 4 put together. Give him the series. Let him carry it on. KILL MORE CRITES!
I wasn't aware that Critters was being revived (of sorts), but man, this is proof that you guys could kill it should you get the gig. Awesome stuff!
Woodshatter Thanks! Fingers and prickly poisonous needles crossed!
It's the fact that this is so much better than either the new series (which seems to have been written by someone who tried to write a new sequel to Airplane and got mixed up & is acted people who have never seen a script or camera before) or the new movie (slightly better than the series but still beyond bad) speaks volumes.
I love this more than words can express, i so want a reboot or a sequel to this franchise.
Amazing. This was quality right here. Hollywood could really take notes from you. The atmosphere and music was spectacular and chilling. The effects were great, especially the bounty hunter's sort of "cosmic" look. I wouldn't mind sequels here. I enjoyed this more than the last two movies we got from Hollywood.

Yep! Hire this man.
I am so excited that I got to be a (small) part of this. It turned out so well! Congratulations, and I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did. Good luck :)
I watched 'Critters Attack!' yesterday so this was great and helped wash away that memory!
One of my favourite fan films EVER. Congrats, man. It's fucking awesome!
Thank you!
YES! :)
From sound effects, to visual effects, music and everything else, this was amazing. It's actually that would, it would be a genius longer film to see on Netflix
Agreed. There's a much bigger world to explore in the Critters universe than what's on the surface
WB would be total jackasses not to hire Jordan Downey for the web series. This is one of the greatest fan films ever made. Simply amazing.
I just discovered this bad ass '80s flashback short film. Awesome job. The jam at the end just drove it home.
Thanks!
Man I wish you were in charge of the new critters tv show coming out. You make them look like theirs look like a fan film.
WTF!!!! Why is this not a full length film?!? This was awesome!
Not only is the production on this really good, the horror element was done right. Instead of simple jumpscares, there was plenty of tension and suspense as the bounty hunter hunted for the crite. Job very well done.
i cant believe i just discovered this in 2022. awesome job. it's insane how good fan films are these days
I just suffered through A New Binge and it was atrocious. Your work here is a million times better, more faithful to the franchise and has so much more production value. Why they didn't at least ask you to work on the new series is beyond me. I hope you get a chance to do more with the Critters franchise in some capacity in the future. Thank you for making this labor of love and take care.
Thank you... much appreciated
Personally, I don't think Critters have gained as much recognition as Gremlins and it should. I definitely loved the comedy though! Those Crites are twisted but hilarious! 🤣
This should be a bonus feature in the Critters Box set. One of the best fan films and homage to Critters. Awesome job!
Dude I could see this becoming a better Sequel in modern day based on this!!! One of my favourite movies Well done buddy!! 🤜🤛
I didn't think I'd like this as I'm quite attached to the original movie but I really enjoyed it. In a world of awful reboots i found it surprisingly faithful to the original. It'd be fun to see it with a VHS filter on including the audio distortion .
Glad you enjoyed it! I love that VHS idea, might have to make a version like that.
This was VERY good. Loved it. Brings me back to my childhood
Excellent! You paid respects to the original while keeping it contemporary. Love it!
Fantastic job! Much better than the recent releases of the new Critters movie and show.
This is better than the 2019 shit revival they did. I just threw "Critters Attack" in the garbage. Yes it's that bad.
The critters and FX look way better in this fan made film then the Critters series on shudder do.
Wow I absolutely love this! Only problem is I wish it was longer... Full movie next time please!
This is about 10 times better than Critters Attacks.
I've been a huge Critters for for about 20 years now, and I can honestly say this is the BEST Critters-related thing since the films themselves. I mean that. You absolutely are the man for the job!
Loved it. One of the most impressive fan made.
Holy crap... this was SO good. One of the best fan films I've ever seen. Great job, Jordan! :-)
Thanks!
This is shot better than 50% of movies that actually get greenlit (*sharknado etc) and better than anything AnchorBay has ever produced. These guys who did this fan film know exactly what they are doing and what the fans want.

By the far the best "fan film" I've ever seen- most the time I get bored watching them or feel like the supposed "fan" doesn't understand what's good about the thing they're a fan of. This is spot on. Clearly made my professional filmmakers too. If that series ever happens, of course it's gotta be your job 👍🏻

This definitely has the feel of the past "Critters" movie. It brought me back to my childhood days... scared shitless. Amazing work!
100% better than any episode of A New Binge.
This is exactly what im talking about! Perfect!
Fantastic work, definitely 1 of the better produced/directed fanfilms out there. Well worth a watch for Critters/80s fans with the practical fx work. Plus...director of Thankskilling? Give this dude the job!
Thanks!!!
Absolutely, man. Good luck, Warners would be foolish to overlook your work.
Jordan Downey Please more!!!
forget the fan films. This was probably better than the last two sequels.
mikunt1 3rd One was O.K. But the 4th one ruined the entire series.
I'd rather watch this on repeat for 2 hours while a critter mauls me than ever see a single clip of critters attack again .... seriously there is more effort and talent in this than amazing fan film than the whole cast and crew of critters attack ...well done ...
Awesome i love this 80s movie saga. Thranks Jordan for this fan movie.
That was freaking awesome, Great job to cast and crew!!
Thank you!
These movies were a source of many nightmares as a kid, but I still loved watching them. (Except 4, didn't care for that one) Great fan film, especially the effects and creature design. I hope you guys get the green light to create more like this!
Very well done. I grew up watching the Critters franchise and to say you did it justice would be an understatement. Great work.
Hell yeah! Great fan film! The ending had me sold! I also love that cameo at 2:39 with Terrance Mann who played Ug in all four critter films.
Why is this so much better and way more better than critters attack and the new binge
I am fan of the Critters . Congratulations for this short , is SPECTACULAR !
Yo soy fan de los Critters. Felicitaciones por este corto , es espectacular !
excellent form to homage one of the best science fiction sagas of all times, is very cool, capting the dark atmosphere of the original films, even with a new version of the esplendid song, i hope that someday the critters return as a webseries, congrats to the creators of this awesome fan film, is out this world, !YEAH¡.

This is so professional..colour grading,special effects,creature,camera movement..the best fan made ever

I loved this short, yet could not believe when I saw new material on the net, just watched the entire series last week to see details of direction and above all remember that loved these films,
greetings from Mexico,
"Esta Chingon"
Thank you!!
Critters are still one of my favorite movies.... we need a reboot
This is the most amazing thing made since the movies themselves. Thanks so much for making this. I will watch and share as much as I can
This made my day love all the homages to Terrance Mann and even the toilet scene in the first critters movie. Please make this happen!
Great short movie for Critters! The alien head effect is new and spot one but the critter creature looked fantastic.
My son (11 yrs old) and I saw the original Critters yesterday and he loved the movie. I never knew of this short movie until today. Very well done!
Thanks Rob! Really appreciate it
A Worthy successor!!!
Awesome Critters fan film!
Brilliantly done! This was amazing and so much fun to watch!
#critters #horror #horrormovie #fanfilm
Love Critters. Saw this one in theaters.
Kenny Patton This is a short fan film - it's so good! ^_^
After Critters 2: The Main Course, this is the best continuation of the story. Excellent work and thanks for delivering a stellar contribution to a series that should’ve gone on to be THIS GREAT.
amazing work, always loved these films and always will. this was a great little fan film.
Dude. Awesome! Loved all the nods to the old films.
This is AWESOME! Great job :).. I love the Critters series myself.
+Tyrant Gregcag (Kaiju71) Thank you!
+Jordan Downey Thank YOU for making this. I've been waiting a LOOOOONG time for a new entry in the Critters franchise.
Bittcbvcf
"Perhaps next time you'll not ignore my request to utilize your transformation capabilities." XD
Glad you picked up on that :)
This great. Good Luck landing the gig. I love the bounty hunter head effect.
We love your job! so Amazing fan film
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
This was a really cool throwback, and I really hope you get the job. You showed a lot of potential and good work in modernizing Critters while pulling it back to its roots.
Also, any possibility of that Power Of The Night cover being released? That would be spectacular.
I've never seen 'Critters', but I still wanted to say that this was an all-around very well done short.
Very nicely done! I am surprised! The best fan film so far. Congratulations!!!
SHUDDER should have had you handle “A New Binge” lmao.
Amazing movie this is a short remake very well made. One of the best shorts. You're the right director.
The cannon extends!!!!!! Thank you so much for having even the little details that helped make the movies great!!!! "Critters 5" needs to be made!!!!!
Also, were your Crites CGI or Puppet? This was truly excellent!
jaytheseabee 100% puppet
That is just amazing, and thank you for answering!
Much better than Critters Attack.
If I was Warner Bros I would give you guys the money to make a full critters movie. Awesome job.
This is mutch better of the "official" series! A very good tribute, I still love Critters quadrilogy.
dude you have no idea how happy I am to see something like this my childhood reborn man please make more
Love this!!! Nice touch with the bounty hunter's "Nothing Face" glowing. There are very few well made fan films in existence, or at least from my viewing experience so far, and this is one of them!!! Everything here is nice and authentic, including the bounty hunter's costume and gun, and course the critter/eggs! I loved the little cameo from Terrence Mann (on the t.v.) here, and the "Power of the Night" cover song at the end credits!
gorygonzalez Thanks man, the POTN song gives me chills - must have played that track on loop who knows how many times as a kid. Nick Soole, the composer, who also did the remix absolutely killed it!
gorygonzalez I agree very faithful to film/source. It is 2015 though i can see why they wanted to improve from the previous blue glowing head graphics.
critters 2 is still the best film ever made........for real.
This was legit!
A lot of details and subtleties to this that show passion for the source material. I'm highly impressed. Will recommend it to a lot of people. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Jordan Downey You're welcome. Btw, that was The Dresden Files with Terrance Mann on the TV wasn't it?
PashaUndertow Yep, you got it, good eye
hail from france, was a critters fan in the 80's..brilliant job
Jordan's Fan Film > Critters Part 3 and 4
Congratulations to everyone who was involved in making this. Really great job and wish you all the best of luck in the future.
crazy how well made this is!
that should be a series or something. just mind blowing!
You deserve a million dollars for this bro💯
Having seen the ad for the new CRITTERS series, they dropped the ball on not getting you. :-(
What?!? New Critters series?? Seriously?
Yeah. Sadly, it looks awful.

I've just been recently getting into the Critters franchise, and I gotta say, this was great. Cinematography and special effects were just fantastic. I can see this being an actual feature length film apart of the franchise.
I'm happy to see that one of my favourite horror comedy movies didn't get CGI-ed like most of today's remakes.Great job,hope you make another ''Critters'' sequel
WOW!! This is one of the best fan films ever. Love the effects, especially the Critter puppet.
This is great!! So glad to see that you're still at it. Hopefully this will get the recognition it deserves and will land you a spot on the Critters team. Good luck!
Hot damn, that was incredibly well done! Love me some Crites!
Wow, great short piece man! As a die hard fan myself, I appreciate this so much. Thank you for yours, and the crews efforts!
The Johnny Steele "Power of the Night" song was a great touch, as well as Terrence Mann on the movie playing in the homes TV. Such a great job. Make more. These are the people Hollywood needs these days.
Terrific job! Warner bros. Should give you a chance at directing a full length film. I have faith that you can give it justice too.
Just wanted to let you know that you've done a great job here! I love this short. I enjoy your subtle/droll humor.
I wanted to leave another comment.
This is an excellent film. You absolutely deserve to direct this new web series. I have been begging and begging all over Twitter for someone to do this and I am very happy with this film and I really hope you are chosen to revive the series. I went back and watched the first one last night. My favorite part is Charlie waking up in the holding cell yelling "They're comin'!" Brilliant!
And remember, you can always cast Didodi for any type of appearance in a "Critters" production. It would be my pleasure!
Good luck to you and your team!
+Didodi Drive Thank you!
This short film is still miles better than critters attack and new binge
that was brilliant...very professional..wow! that crite was made perfectly
Jolly Wanker Productions Thank you - Troy Smith did a great job with it
Jordan Downey NEXT DEMONIC TOYS
+Jordan Downey Hey you guys plan on doing more fan films based on cult classics or is this the last one, the reason I'm asking this is because it's really well done.
+James Long No plans for any other fan films, but this one was so much fun we've talked about other ideas, so you never know
Hey My Name Is James Fucko We have talked about doing more fan films, yes, but nothing concrete. What would you like to see?
The quality is superb. Does not seem low-budget looking at it. Excellent job. :)
Man, I just saw the trailer for the new Critters series and your fan film looks SOOOOOO much better and what I was hoping to get out of a new Critters series. Really wish you would have been able to make it instead.
