Movie Reviews of Slither (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: So so so so Bad I'm writing this review while watching it!
Summary: 1 Stars
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 you are a fan of this, well.... YOU NEED HELP! sorry.
Scary Movie is a far better horror parody, it atually parodies horror where as this just does horror but badly thinking that is spoofing.
I'm sorry to sound so trolling but I hated this movie and maybe I am expressing a little too much hate.
Please don't flam me!
Summary of Slither (Widescreen Edition)
Here's a gooey hilarious creepy horror film for the whole mutant cannibal family. Michael Rooker (HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER) stars as Grant a big bald guy from a small southern town who gets possessed by a meat-hungry parasite worm creature from space. Even under the alien influence he still loves his wife Starla (Elizabeth Banks) but she's alarmed at his weird new habits such as consuming all the local wildlife. The sheriff in town (Nathan Fillion) investigates. He still carries a torch for Starla from when they were kids but once the squirming slithering and cannibalism begin in earnest it becomes clear that this is no time for romance.SLITHER's combination of interesting characters deadpan humor gore aplenty and genuine scares earns it a place alongside cult classics like RE-ANIMATOR and the various LIVING DEAD and EVIL DEAD films. Director/writer James Gunn wrote 2004's DAWN OF THE DEAD before this and it's abundantly clear where his loyalties lie: SLITHER aims its acid-dripping brain-sucking tongue right into the hearts of horror fans. Heads explode monsters squiggle into gaping mouths tentacles wrap around Banks's negligee-clad body and the sheriff takes it all in his stride. There's even a twisted intergalactic love story somewhere in the chaos as well as hordes of in-jokes for the fans.System Requirements:Running Time 96 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR Rating: R UPC: 025192866128 Manufacturer No: 61028661With 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
