PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

josephmonaghan-34145 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

Bathe Her And Bring Her To Me Not a horror movie, not a comedy, or a drama...It is a classical, well written Monster Movie that makes you glad you watched it.... The actors are very well cast, and did a professional acting job, The jokes are evenly spaced with the action without seeming stupid.. You will not feel ripped-off for watching.

shanerittersbach Slither, James Gunn's Masterpiece of splatter, slime, and slugs!WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!!!SLITHER came out all the way back in 2006, a year filled to the brim with horror films. With films such as Snakes on a Plane, Black X-mas (remake), and the cult favorite Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, it was nice to see a major studio, such as universal release what is the equivalent of a TROMA film with a great budget. James Gunn, who now recently is known for directing Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy volumes 1 and 2, was a young struggling screenwriter in the early 2000's. He was hungry for a film to direct. Two years before he would eventually direct slither he wrote the screenplay/script for Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake. After Dawn had destroyed the box office gunn wanted to direct. Soon Gunn would wright the script for slither and that's where my review begins. To start off, slither has one of the best ensemble casts i have ever seen in a horror film, or a film in general. The cast includes Castle's Nathan Fillion who plays the films titular sheriff Bill Pardy. Elizabeth Banks (40-Year old Virgin) joins the cast as well, playing Starla Grant, the lovely and ballsy high school teacher. Now the films titular villain is played by the very versatile Michael Rooker (Henry ; Portrait of a Serial Killer) who plays Grant Grant (No, seriously, that's His last name) starla's husband and soon to be alien life form. The rest of the cast of Slither includes the comedic Gregg Henry (Raising Cane), a cameo by Lloyd Kaufman (Toxic Avenger), and Rob Zombie (The Devil's Rejects). The acting in the film is very well acted. The dialogue is classic in hilarity and zaniness. The film has an abundant of inside jokes and innuendos. The writing is also very well done, the story is fleshed out. The characters are all enjoyable and realistic.The effects in the film are extraordinary and quite possibly some of the best practical effects i have ever seen, Really. The effects were accomplished by makeup and creature genius Todd Masters (Demon Knight, Tales from the Crypt, Monster Man). The main creature within the film, the Grant monster, is an amazing creation. He is slimy, icky, and wonderfully acted by Michael Rooker. The slug effects within the film are also great. The effects of the gore and carnage are also very well done and bloody that is. Within the film there is a fair use of CGI. Thank goodness, the CGI is very well done. Very good use of the CGI around the slugs and extra gore. The effects also fit perfect within the scenes they are featured. That is something that cant be quite said in modern films, i'm not going to name any ... The Thing (2011). The film is well directed and well acted, altogether it is a modern 80's classic. Slither is most definitely James Gunn's lover letter to the horror films of the 1980's. Their inspiration is clear and present in slither, though unlike most nostalgic films of today the odes and Easter eggs don't stick out like a soar thumb. Slither is a personal favorite of mine and one i will always enjoy, plus i cant wait till July 25th, when Scream Factory releases their Blu- ray collector's edition this year. CANT WAIT!!!anyways, Great Film ... Two-Tentacles Way the Heck Up!!!!

Python Hyena Slither (2006): Dir: James Gunn / Cast: Michael Rooker, Elizabeth Banks, Nathan Fillion, Gregg Henry, Jenna Fischer: Horror comedy that gives creepy sensations. Plot regards slugs that arrive from space and inhabit human targets. Setup actually works because the screenplay develops the characters and environment without rushing into chaos, however from there very little happens other than slugs attacking people. With an ending that seems hopeless director James Gunn somehow brings feeling into it. Michael Rooker is first infected while in the midst of an affair. The emotional core in how his wife, played by Elizabeth Banks still loves him, despite their marriage problems. Nathan Fillion plays a cop who has a thing for Banks, and forms a search party for Rooker who has become a large slug like creature not bent on negotiating. Gregg Henry brings comic relief as a cynical Mayor. We know that things are not set to conclude well for Rooker. We also know that Fillion and Banks will reconnect after this catastrophe is over and done. Henry as the mayor stole his scenes so well that when he is attacked, I felt bad for the loss. This is not a great horror film but it is amusing camp filmmaking that may remind target fans of such films of the 1950's. It has slimy visuals that are often disgusting yet horror fans may enjoy what creeps underneath their feet. Score: 5 ½ / 10
