Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Short descriebed a good horror flick with loveable characters. Lets start with the simple plot, a small city gets invaded by parasites, which turn the citizen into a kind of zombie. Reason for 8 is the great effects usage. Dicent amount of gore and fun, while still manageing to be effective and a movie which can be taken seriously. Another bonus with this movie it does not use unessasery jumpscare.

Aliens from another planet is predictable but James Gunn adds alot of suspense and and character development in his film but the whole plot is brilliant even with Michael Rooker in the main lead eating nothing but meat still the whole film is nothing but terrific

A meteorite carrying alien life crashes down in the woods of a small Canadian town with horrific results when one local citizen discovers it in this affectionate tribute to the horror B-movies of yesteryear. While the makeup and special effects are remarkable and there are several neat genre in-jokes, the best aspect of 'Slither' is the fact that the direction in which the material is going is deliciously unclear at first. At certain times, the film seems to be heading in the direction of an alien parasite thriller with the "worms" wrapping around the brain of victims and assuming control. At other times, the movie seems headed in a 'Shivers' sexually transmitted disease direction with phallic appendages that emerge from the first victim's stomach when aroused by female victims to-be. The direction in which the film ultimately heads is less interesting than either of these, and evil is overcome a tad too easily in the end, however, it is still a fairly gripping ride with standout sequences including the bathroom incident referenced on the film's poster and DVD cover, and a sequence in which some townsfolk discover what happened to a woman who mysteriously disappeared after an intimate night with the first victim. Michael Rooker (probably best known nowadays for 'Mallrats') is excellent in the main male role, while Elizabeth Banks brings a nice degree of unexpected spunk as the heroine here.

Slither, what a work of art...in slime! This film could have gone on for two more hours and I would have been happy with it! The only thing I'm wondering is why I have never seen a mention of "Miss Attila the Hun" by Dean Koontz anywhere with this movie.The general plot of both are similar in so many ways I find it hard to believe that there was only coincidence connecting the two. I am a fan of both, and a fan of both Gunn and Koontz. Obviously there are many differences between the two also, as a short story would need to be transformed and changed to become a feature film.Has anyone ever heard Gunn mention a connection, or inspiration from that story? Anyway, it's a great film with many clever nods in many directions of horror and sci-fi. It will always be a favorite.
