The Utopian future was in danger of not being if two teens and future rock stars didn’t pass their history final. To prevent this from happening, a time traveler from the year 2688 encountered them at a local Circle K. Armed with a time machine, the duo traveled about history and brought the historical figures Napoleon, Billy the Kid, Socrates, Sigmund Freud, Beethoven, Joan of Arc, Genghis Kahn, and Abraham Lincoln back to 1988 to spend the day in San Dimas, CA. ("Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure", Flm)

The most inaccurate part of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is that they're able to both spell and read the word 'sincerely' 😂

Horror Comedy of the Day: Critters (1987)

The Brown family is an ordinary one, living on the rural side of Kansas. So they take breakfast like any other morning, unaware of the looming threat: a pack of creatures that escaped the Intergalactic Prison Asteriod-sector 17 and are on their way to Earth, with two alien bounty hunters on their tail. They're vicious, they're terrifying! They're… furry balls from outer space? Really? We're meant to feel scared by tha- oh shit, they're carnivorous. And smart. And they can shoot venomous needles! Run for the hills!!

It’s a little hard to explain how big Gremlins (1984) was when it came out, inspiring more than a few imitators with their own variety of small monsters even a few decades afterwards. But strangely enough this film is NOT one of them, starting pre-production before that film came out and requiring more than a few rewrittes to avoid the most similarities once they were beat to the punch. With that out of the way, what the movie does right still gives it a proper sense of identity, not in small part because the film is shamelessly more juvenile. There's more profanity, the human deaths are certainly more graphic, and the general tone feels like a more cheeky take on a slasher with a sci-fi twist.

Aided by at times dated but for the most part really solid special effects, the little monsters tip toe the line between strangely adorable and threatening little shits. The bounty hunters fare similarly, they're effective at killing the creatures once they have them in front but their attempts to blend in always lead to hilarious results(not in small part because the townsfolk aren't a paragon of intelligence either).

It may not be the smartest or most resounding sci-fi horror flick of the 80's by any stretch of the imagination, but it's clear it was made by people who enjoyed themselves and as a result is hard not to follow suite.
