SLITHER reviews
 

Just saw Slither... I thought it was really great. It's a very fun movie, with some very gross effects that are well done. The movie doesn't take itself too seriously, but isn't a full blown comedy either.

If you like 80's horror films like Night of the Creeps or Return of the Living Dead, I think you'll enjoy this. I was surprised, because I wasn't sure what to expect. It's definitely something i'm gonna own on DVD.

I'm not really giving any of it away because I enjoyed going in not knowing very much about it.

I was at the Slither panel during last summer's Comic-Con and it looked like it'd be a fun film. I've been waiting for it to be released and thought it was gonna come out sooner.

Sounds good and thanks for the info.

Nathan Fillion+Pam from the Office+creepy critters= I'm sold!

I have the lovely poster.

Really looking forward to March 31. James Gunn is one sick mother...I must get that poster.

Boobies or no Boobies?

Definitely cant wait for this one :up:...

Yeah, the one thing that confused me in the marketing was that I couldn't really tell if they were aiming at comedy horror or straight up horror. But I'm definitley up for this one. Captain Mal & gore...can't miss with that combo.

Reminds me of Cronenberg's "Shivers".

I can't wait to see this flick, it's been a while since I've had fun at a horror flick. Unfortunately, my wife will not want to watch it and it's difficult for me to get free to see a movie by myself now-a-days so Ill have to wait for the DVD.

Freud...sneak out and go alone if you have to:D

I love the poster and fear they may not use it for the dvd:(

I may have to go get a copy of it myself,hehe:D

How about Captain Tight pants? Butt shot?

I am still shocked a movie like this is going theatrical.

I could have seen it in the 70's/80's, but now???

It's not that I have a problem with this in any way. It's just I was surprised a movie about icky slug things would be going theatrical nowadays.

It reminds me of total Svengoulie material, but I would check it out.

I'm really looking forward to it. As a fan of Troma studios (Gunn's a former employee), this is essentially what would happen if one of their movies got an actual budget.

this looks like it will be a hoot. i think Fillion will be the 2nd coming of one of those fun, comedic, action stars that can show a serious side that we could use once again.

It's a really fun movie. If "Stay Alive" can do well, then Slither better find it's audience too, because it deserves it way more.

anyone find any reviews yet?

and a shade of "Squirm"

since i just saw it the other night...what about "Night of the Creeps"??? in some ways it seems like a re-make. the "Creeps" were an alien species that made people into zombies and disfigured some...

I'm calling shenanigans until you give us the info we want: Boobies or no boobies? If yes, quality and quantity of boobies? :)

I thought that exact same thing when I saw that poster - very Croenbergesque. A friend told me that the filmmakers behind Slither said in an interview that they were inspired by Croenberg's Shivers, so it all makes sense.

The same friend recently saw this flick at Varsity Cinemas, and had the following to say really quick. Keep in mind that he isn't a horror fan though:

I was a little "meh" on this movie at first, but now that I've seen the trailer a few times and read some early reviews, I think I'm going to like this.

This has cheesy goodness written all over it.

reviews??? links please...

Positive:

"Gunn doesn't reinvent the wheel but he does tighten its spokes a bit with some terrifying sequences and a witty, deadpan screenplay." -Village Voice

"A gleefully nasty and ingeniously twisted horror-comedy." -Variety

"James Gunn is one of us. He is a die-hard horror fan that just wants to make a film that horror fans like him want to see, and that is exactly what Slither is." -Horror Channel

"Doesn't just embrace the cheesy goofiness of those B-grade horror films from the middle of the last century, it also gives them a big wet sloppy French kiss." -Killer Movie Reviews


Negative:

"I have to admit to not getting much out of a big budget B movie. B movies are fun because they’re rinky dink." -Film Threat


I've been kind of wanting to see this movie since I heard about it (looked like fun), then I saw LolliLove, and now I really want to see the damn thing.
