What makes it different from others?

That was an excellent one.

Disappointment for a huge fan!

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Slither is written and directed by James Gunn. The film sees a midwest town become infected by alien worm creatures, that turn the townspeople into meat craving mutated 'zombies'. Influenced from classic 50's sci-fi such as: The Blob, The Thing etc, Slither is a horror comedy that's light on the horror and the comedy. With the talent in front and behind the camera I was expecting a-lot more.The standout performer in this film was by far Michael Rooker, as always he gives a charismatic over the top performance that lights up the screen. Especially when he stumbles across the creature that attaches itself to him, leading to him doing funny bizarre things. Nathan Fillion and Elizabeth Banks were also solid in their roles without leaving their comfort zones. Everybody in the film does a good job.I found it hard to rate this film, as this isn't a bad film but I found it un-engaging and tiresome to sit through. Technically speaking the film was well crafted. The practical effects and gore looked good, even if at times they resembled the left over props from The Thing. However I found this film to be tonally perplexing, the scary moments weren't scary enough. With the only effective scene coming from the bathtub sequence, but that was it. The comedic elements were also lacking I can't remember a scene (other then when a character loses a hand grenade) that even made me slightly chuckle. In the end this film ends up getting lost between the two elements, and that made for frustrating viewing.

*SIGH* Well......... *SIGH* I really wanted to like this. I love James Gunn, Dawn Of The Dead was great, Super was amazing, Lolypop Chainsaw was amazing and the Guardians of the Galaxy films are the best Marvel Films. After seeing and playing those games and films I wanted to see his directorial debut. I get what this film was going for, it wanted to be a schlocky comedy horror, and the second half was that... but the first half wasn't, and I quite literally mean half, I can pinpoint the exact second it turns into a great film, 45:00. But this is an hour and a half long film. The problem with the first half was that it was boring. Thats what makes it worse then the second half, they both half the same problems but the second half is very entertaining. But let me be clear it would not be a 10/10 if the whole film was as entertaining as the second, just a 7/10. One of the biggest problems is the effects,there are some great practical effects, but it is littered with very very very very sh*t CGI. Another is a romantic subplot that is useless, and has no payoff.If those 3 problems where fixed I'm pretty sure this film could have been an 8/10 and recommendable to anyone, but the way it was I would only recommend it to people that enjoy horror schlock.

The movies starts with dating and some usual conversation until something that gives a twist happen. The woman is so in love with her man until things went so hard for them. It is very sweet as it is painful to see the two on a twisted fate that one would feel sorry for them. The main male character provide solace and comfort but not until the remaining parts of the movie when it get so intense and tension filled. For anyone who loves seeing zombie and creepy crawlies, this one is for you.I love this movie but it has some of the creepiest scenes. I love this beautiful movies because some zombies are wearing boots and also Gregg Henry is also wearing a beautiful boots here. He must be wearing the boots most of the time in the movie which can really feel good.

"Slither" is a grotesque, disturbing, frightening and very funny blend of horror and comedy. When it's funny, it's really funny, with snappy and memorable bits of dialog and plenty of moments that are so disgusting you can't help but laugh. When it wants to give you the creeps, it works too. There is a lot of tension during the film, mostly because when people die here they die really ghoulish and unsettling deaths. You've actually grown to care for the characters and you don't want them to die... never mind die the way people do in this film! I hope this movie finds the audience it deserves because this one is not going to be for everyone. "Slither" does not pull its punches. When an alien takes over a body through unpleasant means, not only do they show you enough that you will be squirming in your seat, you will be covering your eyes by the end of the movie because this is one sick, gory movie. Yup, I loved it. It's supposed to be disturbing and because it actually is, the movie becomes truly memorable. I'll admit there's also kind of a sick side to enjoying the film because you're always wondering what kind of gruesome mess they're going to pull off next. "Slither" is a very clever horror comedy that stands strong when it comes both to the yuck! factor, the laughs and the genuine terror. (Dvd, September 21, 2012)
