While we’re all waiting patiently for Warner Bros. to release their new digital series based on the 1986 classic sci-fi horror franchise Critters, filmmaker Jordan Downey has beat WB to the punch in the hope of landing himself a job on the project. The results are incredibly close to the quality of the original films, too, leaving me with a much better appreciation for the shrinking gap in profession and consumer grade film-making technologies.
"Critters Bounty Hunter was completed from start to finish in under two months with a small budget and an even smaller crew. All in, 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!"
