This is a horror masterpiece that belongs in the hall of fame for this era

Slither (2006) is in my personal collection and I recently watched it again on Tubi. The storyline follows a unique alien invasion of sorts where leach like creatures latch onto you and fill you up with more leach like creatures. The humans eventually turn into deformed leaches themselves. The chances of a small town sheriff stopping the spread and the end of the world seems slim. This movie is directed by James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy) and stars Nathan Fillion (Firefly), Michael Rooker (Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer), Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games) and Gregg Henry (Payback). I first saw this at an independent screening months before it was released and thought it was awesome. The storyline for this is executed to perfection and contains brilliant special effects to facilitate the journey. The unique gore and correlated dialogue both gross you out and make you laugh at the same time. Rooker is absolutely awesome in this and his characters reminded me of his role in Mallrats. Henry as the mayor is also awesome and every scene with him and Rooker is gold. There's also two all time great horror scenes in this - the pregnant farm house scene and the tub scene. Both brilliantly depicted. Overall this is a horror masterpiece that belongs in the hall of fame for this era and is a 10/10 for me. I could watch this 100 times.

Slither is your B-grade horror/comedy movie that has everything and is hilarious

(Synopsis) The movie opens with a meteorite landing in the backwoods of the small town of Wheelsy. The bad news is that our atmosphere did not burn up everything inside the meteorite. One of Wheelsy's rich business men, Grant Grant (Michael Rooker), who is married to the young and beautiful high school biology teacher, Starla (Elizabeth Banks), finds a slow moving slimy thing behind the town bar. The slug stops moving as Grant moves closer, he becomes infected by the slug. Grant begins to change and evolve into a bloodthirsty meat-eating squid creature with a need to kill to maintain his life. Sheriff Bill Pardy (Nathan Fillion) and Starla must defeat this creature or the entire earth will be consumed.

(My Comment) Slither is a 1950's type B-grade horror/comedy movie scenario that has everything. A billion-year-old alien parasite from outer space with penetrating tentacles that sucks the life out of you, fast moving slugs that want to get inside your mouth, dogs and cows being eaten by human and deer zombies, an enormous mother glob, and the small town being terrorized by a monster. This is your classic B-grade movie that is a lot of fun watching. You will laugh from beginning to end. For budget reasons, it looks like they used the old standby, tomato ketchup, for blood. There are some scary moments, but most of the scenes are hilarious. If you want an enjoyable night and a good laugh, this is the movie to see. (Universal Pictures, Run time 1:36, Rated R)(8/10)

One problem that I found with Slither is that the gore and humour don't quite go well together for me

When I first saw this film at my old secondary school three years ago, I didn't like it. Then again I wasn't into comedy horrors as much then, now I don't mind them so much as long as it gives the shocks and the laughs. Re-watching it again, the film improved upon second viewing, however I still don't care for it that much. I guess it does reasonably well with what it aimed to do, which was pay homage to the outrageous splatter and surreal prosthetics of 80s horror. Now Slither grant you had its good points, but there are parts when it gets a little too ridiculous.

Slither is well made, with some interesting cinematography and the special effects are excellent and do well at delivering the shocks. Also the direction from James Gunn is competent and the acting is reasonable with Nathan Fillion, Elizabeth Banks, Jenna Fisher and Michael Rooker giving decent performances. The music by Tyler Bates also has its good moments and doesn't feel intrusive.

However, the story about a small town being taken over by an alien plague no matter how great the idea is is made up of a number of scenes/moments where it all gets rather ridiculous. The beginning sets the tone of the film well, but the Toxic Avenger clip was close to useless. While there were moments where I did chuckle, the script does have hits and misses. Which leads to my main problem with Slither, while there are elements of gore and horror, and there were parts that shocked me or made me chuckle, together the two elements don't quite gel. Another problem was the pacing, there are bits in the middle half that do go by very slowly.

Overall, has its moments but I would be lying if I said I was not disappointed. It was an improvement on re-watch, but I for one found it nothing special. At least it did okay with what it set out to do, even if it didn't quite work as well as it should have done. 5/10 Bethany Cox
