Plot:
Two years after the original invasion of Grover's Bend, Kansas, a batch of forgotten, unhatched alien eggs are mistaken for Easter eggs by the locals. Once they hatch, a new horde of voracious, flesh-eating Krites is unleashed upon the small farm town. To stop the carnivorous onslaught, local boy Brad Brown teams up with Charlie McFadden and the returning intergalactic alien bounty hunters to wipe out the monsters before they devour the entire community. The remaining people of the town devise a plan. With Ug polymorphed into a large Krite, they lead the Critters to a burger factory in an attempt to blow them up. The plan fails and the Critters emerge joined into a large ball and begin heading to the church. Just before they reach it, Charlie flies directly into them with Ug's spaceship, successfully destroying the Critters and seemingly sacrificing himself.
