- THE FOLLOWING IS A FAN FILM.
Warner Bros. recently announced plans to revive "Critters" as a web series for their digital unit, Blue Ribbon Content. I've been a die-hard fan of the series since I was a kid and wanted to show that I would be the right director for the project. This short film is my pitch... Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

MAKING OF:
Critters: Bounty Hunter was completed from start to finish in under two months with a small budget and an even smaller crew. A total of six people worked on the movie: Myself, Kevin Stewart, Ricky Fosheim, Nick Soole, Troy Smith and Gina Luciani. We shot for two nights at a house in Mammoth Lakes, California. The Critter puppet was built by Troy Smith who worked with us on both ThanksKilling movies. Our crew handled everything from building the bounty hunter costume, learning the VFX required to pull off the glowing head, scoring, title cards, sound design, etc. We're proud of what we pulled off with limited resources and can't wait to share this with everyone. Turn up the volume and hit HD - We hope you enjoy our fun little take on Critters!

"KILL CRITES!!" Leave it to the fans to make a kickass continuation of this great series!! Great job!!
JMD Nelson thanks!
Yes! 😂
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.
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!
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
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!
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 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.
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!
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.
One of my favourite fan films EVER. Congrats, man. It's fucking awesome!
Thank you!
YES! :)
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.
This definitely has the feel of the past "Critters" movie. It brought me back to my childhood days... scared shitless. Amazing work!
Holy crap... this was SO good. One of the best fan films I've ever seen. Great job, Jordan! :-)
Thanks!
This is better than the 2019 shit revival they did. I just threw "Critters Attack" in the garbage. Yes it's that bad.
If Critters ever gets its true reboot I hope they actually try and bring back the 1940s-60s theme of it all... It'd be great for nostalgia. Plus I just love when people try to recreate past eras in American history.
Warner Bros. should pick this up!
100% better than any episode of A New Binge.
Excellent! You paid respects to the original while keeping it contemporary. Love it!
Critters are still one of my favorite movies.... we need a reboot
Why is this so much better and way more better than critters attack and the new binge
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.
Thank you, that means a lot!
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.
ua-cam.com/video/zBIQSjJlT_E/v-deo.html
8 years ago, and in only 5 mins, executed this masterpiece.
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.
Looks much better than Shudder's ball-less New Binge.
gobzdzilla can’t agree more man that show is huge disaster
This should be a bonus feature in the Critters Box set. One of the best fan films and homage to Critters. Awesome job!
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 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!
A fan film with a bigger budget than all 4 Critters titles put together!
Haha, not quite but thank you! This cost us just around $2,000
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.
i cant believe i just discovered this in 2022. awesome job. it's insane how good fan films are these days
If I was Warner Bros I would give you guys the money to make a full critters movie. Awesome job.
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! ^_^
Wow I absolutely love this! Only problem is I wish it was longer... Full movie next time please!
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!
This short film is still miles better than critters attack and new binge
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.
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.
This is so professional..colour grading,special effects,creature,camera movement..the best fan made ever
Rezza Ezzuddin Thank you!
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
A perfect short film ! Everything's working, the directing, the props and costume, the puppet, the sfx, the directing, the photography,... Anyway I can't list every aspects. Congrats, the quality awesome ! You really honor the originals critters ! 🔥👏🏻 I'm really impressed !
Thanks for that Jimmy!
What do you mean props? 🎉
I enjoy Critters more than Gremlins, there i said it.... This fan film is the Bloody Cake we've deserved after all the years and all our birthdays without a present from these Alien Invaders.... Superb Job 😀
I just discovered this bad ass '80s flashback short film. Awesome job. The jam at the end just drove it home.
Thanks!
Dude. Awesome! Loved all the nods to the old films.
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.
I am fan of the Critters . Congratulations for this short , is SPECTACULAR !
Yo soy fan de los Critters. Felicitaciones por este corto , es espectacular !
I watched 'Critters Attack!' yesterday so this was great and helped wash away that memory!
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!
See Hollywood, theres real talent out there.
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.
Wow! That movie so much better like Critters attack or the New Binge! The camera work great, the scenes have a "retro Creeters" feeling, the Bounty hunter looks amazing! Just perfect!
This is definitely what I love about Critters in a nutshell and then some. Jordan Downey, you are my hero. Hope to see more destruction & explosive entrances by those bounty hunters in the future.
And some transfromations too.
"Body fit"
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
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
This needs a million views! Great Fan Film! Hollywood Take Notes!
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.
This is better than the original film. They need to hire you.
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!
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 approve :)
Crites make for an awesome antagonist.
Power of the night!!! The streets are calling.....
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!
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! 🤣
Great job on one of the best slasher titles of my childhood. Thanks for reminding me.
You're welcome, glad you liked it!
This is mutch better of the "official" series! A very good tribute, I still love Critters quadrilogy.
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!
You could say that the design here looks way better then the design used in Critters attack
Terrence Mann cameo on the screen and a Power of the night cover. Good job.
way better than a real movie Critters Attack
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?
I know I'm a few years late to comment, but I had to throw in my two-cents as both a movie buff and a Critters fan. Everything is Hollywood caliber, but the best is the sound design, the Critter effect, and the cinematography! These three things were better than most movies I've seen with large budgets, backed by the major six. I am extremely impressed! Some of the best six-and-a-half minutes I have ever spent on the internet!
Thanks! I pulled a lot of the sound effects, like the blaster extending and firing, from the first two Critters movies. Troy did a great job with the Critter puppet then Kevin did a great job lighting it to look its best, and with the cinematography overall.
Actually, when I first watched this, what caught my ear -- as strange as this sounds -- were the boots of the bounty hunter. How heavy they sounded on the deck and going through the house. That was when I knew this was going to be something special. It's something anyone could miss from the originals... but not you guys!
The quality is superb. Does not seem low-budget looking at it. Excellent job. :)
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.
Awesome i love this 80s movie saga. Thranks Jordan for this fan movie.
This was VERY good. Loved it. Brings me back to my childhood
hail from france, was a critters fan in the 80's..brilliant job
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
[Scene from the Original "Critters"]: Critter 1: "They have weapons!" Critter 2: So what?!" (Shotgun blast blows Critter 2 away) Critter 1: "FUCK!!"
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.
This Leprechaun Writes Thank you from one Critters fan to another !
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.
Love the feeling of suspense
Great job! You perfectly captured the look and feel of the first 2 Critters films! Also, you nailed that 80's vibe wonderfully. I love the swirling effect on the Bounty Hunter's face, very nice touch. This also had good pacing and suspense. I really hope Warner Bros. hires you to make the web series, as I think you'll do a great job with it. You definitely are the guy to reboot Critters!
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!!
Brownie points for the syfy cameo! All aspects of the film were great, keep up the awesome work!
dude you have no idea how happy I am to see something like this my childhood reborn man please make more
better then any fan made iv'e ever seen, thanks
Thank you!
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.
That critter looked badass.This short movie made me want to watch original movies especially "Critters 2".
The perfect intro for a fith installment!
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
Esta muy bueno,vi estas sagas de critters cuando yo tenia 6 años y me causababa miedo pero cuándo las volvi a ver aun me causan esa sensación y esta obra que hiciste me causo la misma sensación y eso que tengo 17 ,BUEN TRABAJO 10/10 👏👏
Totally AWESOME! I love 80s!
cool. i love how at the end the eggs are hatching, then suddenly BOOM!!!!
"there will be sequels" he should have said
Much better than Critters Attack.
Wow wasn't expecting much but this may be the best fanmade film I've ever seen :)
Thank you!
How did I miss this. This needs to be a movie.
Very well done. I grew up watching the Critters franchise and to say you did it justice would be an understatement. Great work.
This great. Good Luck landing the gig. I love the bounty hunter head effect.
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
I've never seen 'Critters', but I still wanted to say that this was an all-around very well done short.
Jordan. You’re a man after my own heart
