(mca) Release Date: 09/18/2007 Run time: 96 minutes Rating: R Amazon.com: With laughs and gross-outs aplenty, Slither is the best horror comedy since Shaun of the Dead. Having written for the jubilant trash-mongers at Troma Films before scripting 2004's well-received remake of Dawn of the Dead, writer-director James Gunn crafted this hilarious splatter-fest as an homage to the comically violent horror films of the 1970s and '80s, and he gets it just right with a low-budget look, perfect casting, grisly make-up effects and judicious use of CGI gore. The story's a deliberate monster-mash, borrowing from a dozen other movies with its plot about an invasion of slithery slug-like parasites from outer space, arriving (via meteorite) in the redneck town of Wheelsy, South Carolina, where they turn most of the local yokels into flesh-eating zombies. The first victim (played by Michael Rooker) turns into a squid-like, multi-tentacled host monster (kill him and you kill 'em all), and his terrified wife (Elizabeth Banks) teams up with Wheelsy's sheriff (Nathan Fillion, from Firefly and Serenity) and mayor (comedic scene-stealer Gregg Henry) to eradicate the alien threat before Wheelsy turns into Slugville. Gunn handles comedy and horror with exuberant flair, and Slither's greatest strength is that it never aspires to be anything more than it is: 96 minutes of good laughs and gruesomeness, served up with the kind of gleeful abandon that only true horror buffs can fully appreciate.--Jeff Shannon Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - A squishy, squirmy good time... The greatest thing about `Slither' is that it never feels regurgitated or like mere mimicry; as so many other so called horror spoofs do these days. No, `Slither' feels one hundred percent original. Instead of being a blatant movie spoof (ala `Scary Movie') it is more a comedy horror film, infiltrating its inspired plot with enough of its own originality to warrant multiple viewings and ones praise and admiration. The film is about these alien slug creatures that make their way to ... Read More Rating: - Gunn, Fillion, Zombies, Slugs, Etc. Who would have thought that in 2006 that someone could take the cheesy horror vibe involving alien subplots, slimy stuff, and zombies from the 80's and modernize it with enough great actors, story, gore, and wit to satisfy the masses (I'm referring to the horror loving mass and more)? Well, James Gunn successfully accomplished just that with Slither. The story to Slither is simply that an alien pod crash lands on earth and strangely infects a man. The -whatever- infecting the man ... Read More Rating: - The Host With The Most . . . Alien Slugs "Slither" is great science fiction horror that manages to be both frightening and humorous. "Alien Slugs" would have been a more apt title in lieu of "Slither," which makes one think of snakes. This slick film reminded me of a plethora of science fiction classics ranging from "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" to "Alien" to "Xtro" to "The Puppet Masters." A small meteor lands in the woods. A slug-like alien emerges. It attaches itself to the brain of a human host, Grant, which ... Read More Rating: - Please don't make a sequel! Taken over by alien flesh eating parasites a whole town is wiped out by crawly red slugs that belong to a hive mind. People become just extensions of the main personality ( Grant) that travels from planet to planet. The hero and the Grant's earth wife manage to stop the infestation ( for a while). Sort of a cross between different alien movies, this one is just bloody and gross when it isn't being slap stick funny. Don't take you kids to see this one! Rating: - So so so so Bad I'm writing this review while watching it! This is not funny at all! It's justing screaming and violence, I'm someone who LOVES FUNNY violent shows like Happy Tree Friends but this sucks. I love the South Park humor as another disapproving reviewer said they didn't so that has nothing to do with your opinion on this film. What is the joke? I don't like any of the characters. I hate all the SUPER-UNFUNNY animal cruelty. btw am at the bit where grant has all the people attached to him. This is SO unoriginal, if ...
