Release
The film was released on DVD disc and digital viewing on July 23, 2019 by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. Unlike other Critters films, which have all been rated PG-13, the film was released in an Unrated and a standard R-rated version due to having more blood and violence.

Reception
The film received mixed reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 44% based on 16 reviews. Bloody Disgusting gave the film two out of five skulls, claiming that "the fifth film suffers from a bland cast of characters, poor pacing and, most significantly, a lack of campy fun". Film School Rejects noted that the film was better than Critters: A New Binge and described it as "a mildly entertaining creature feature that will likely find its way into the viewing habits of today’s young, burgeoning horror fans when they stumble upon it on television one evening".

Trivia
The film is rated 'R' due to gory scenes.
