Something unnamed and evil threatens the sleepy town of Wheelsy in this comedy horror.
Wonderful fun, great effects and Nathan Fillion again proves himself worthy of leading this type of film (ie: heroic & cowrdly, serious & funny).
Well worth your money with jumps, frights and laughs all the way through. It's a very knowing and respectful film, but never sells out with nods and winks to the camera - this is a pure tribute to B-movie creature features of days gone by.
This dvd is well worthwhile with decent extras on there - I'm still hoping for a deluxe Slither though, it's one of those films you just gotta love!!
Schlocky Slithers may be but to describe this film as "the most hilarious horror movie since Shawn of the Dead" is a gross lie! How anyone could generate the merest titter whilst watching this OTT modern film bamboozles me. After the first 20 minutes, I thought it was going to be a Naked Gun-style spoof of 'The Blob' with Steve McQueen. But no, the film turned out to be a decidedly average unoriginal alien infestation tale with slick effects. Avoid like the plague!

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... 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 1980s, and he gets it just right with a low-budget look, perfect casting, grisly make-up effects and judicious use of CGI gore. With laughs and gross-outs aplenty, Slither is the best horror comedy since Shaun Of The Dead!
Edgy horror from director James Gunn. The sleepy town of Wheelsy could be any small town in America - quaint and gentle, peopled with friendly folks who mind their own business. But just beneath the surface charm, something unnamed and evil has arrived, and is growing. No one seems to notice as telephone poles become clogged with missing pet flyers, or when one of town's richest citizens, Grant Grant (Michael Rooker) begins to act strangely. But when farmers' livestock turn up horribly mutilated and a young woman goes missing, Sheriff Bill Pardy (Nathan Fillion) and his team, aided by Grant's wife Staria (Elizabeth Banks), uncover the dark force laying siege to their town and come face-to-face with an older-than-time organism intent on absorbing and devouring all life on Earth.
