The original film was released in 1986 and received "two thumbs up" from Siskel and Ebert. Although widely believed to have been made to cash in on the success of the similarly themed ''Gremlins'', director Stephen Herek had refuted this in interviews, pointing out that the first ''Critters'' script was written by Domonic Muir long before ''Gremlins'' went into production, and subsequently underwent rewrites to reduce the similarities between the two films.
