A Great Horror Comedy (by SnailKM) |
I got to see this movie at it's LA premiere on a fluke -- I was interested in the star, Nathan Fillion, and got in when someone had extra tickets -- and I have to say, from the previews I wasn't that impressed. They just didn't appeal to me.Despite all that, I absolutely loved the movie. It was funny and gross and scary and such a good time. It managed to be all those things at once and hit all the right notes.In many ways it is like the movie Shawn of the Dead -- real people's reactions to classic horror movie scenarios; funny, self-referential mocking of the horror genre, <more> |
Better then I thought! Wonderful Movie! (by dark30sangel69) |
No spoilers in here.I also posted this on the Slither board! Last night I saw a special screening of Slither at the Chicago Horror convention. I'm a huge Firefly/Serenity fan so of course I heard about the movie because of Nathan Fillion being in it, but with the way the preview looked it looked not so good. Well when I heard that Nathan was going to be in Chicago for the Horror convention of course I went, I live in Chicago. So first was the panel with writer/director James DAWN OF THE DEAD Gunn, Nathan FIREFLY Fillion, Michael HENRY Rooker, Gregg BODY DOUBLE Henry, Jenna The <more> |
Great Sci-Fi Horror Comedy (by Insanity1865) |
I would highly recommend this to anybody who thinks 'Sci-Fi Horror Comedy' is good fun. This movie contained elements from some of my favorite movies: The Blob, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Night of the Living Dead, and a little bit of The Thing. The plot has a slow build but never fails to lose your interest. Every time you think you know what's going on the script moves in a new direction until you arrive at the truly bizarre climax. The acting is a little weak from the star Elizabeth Banks but the rest of the cast is pretty solid and any Joss Whedon fans will recognize the <more> |
As pure B-movie fun, Slither pulls no punches. (by urthstripe321) |
It is absolute fun, plain and simple. It gets in, does it scares and it's laughs, and gets out quick. As what it was meant to be, it was absolutely brilliant. It does its own thing, and it does it perfectly, and the result is pure entertainment, nothing more. So, if you like movies like Shaun of the Dead, Army of Darkness, Dead Alive, Gremlins, Tremors, or anything in that vein, you will like this movie.Or if you just wanna see Captain Mal Reynolds Nathan Fillion again on the big screen and wistfully wipe a tear or two away, you can go see this movie too.It's creepy, it's <more> |
Don't listen to the downers and haters, this movie is great fun! (by SuperEvilPoptarts) |
I got to see this movie at the special screening of it at the Fangoria weekend of Horror. I had seen the trailer for this 2 months back play before a movie two months back but forgot all about it until I was at the con and saw there was going be a special screening. Me and my wife had to see it. We love horror and this was our first time being at a special screening. So we were both jazzed.We were not disappointed.This film is a homage to a bunch of horror classics and James Gunn is from the Troma school of horror so there are of lot of sly winks to them and a lot of out there dead pan humor <more> |
Very good and icky horror comedy. (by Aaron1375) |
Considering all the mediocre horror movies that have made a rather sizable chunk of money at the box office it is a bit surprising that this one isn't doing really anything at all. I found it highly entertaining...good gross out effects, and it was funny too. Granted it is not the most original movie made as it seems to borrow a lot of elements from other horror movies "Night of the Creeps", "Society", and any zombie movie it is still done very well. The story, nothing new, meteor crashes into a typical rural town...person finds said meteor and gets taken over by an <more> |
Damn entertaining... (by ecwaenigma) |
First off, I'm a horror nut and no matter what anybody else says, this is NOT a rip-off of "Night of the Creeps" or "The Deadly Spawn". James Gunn himself said at a recent Fangoria Weekend of Horrors in Chicago that the only film that played a part in "Slither" was David Cronenberg's "They Came from Within" AKA - "Shivers" . There's a blatant homage to it that fans of the Cronenberg film will spot right away, and that's cool. That what James Gunn is about. You forget, this is a guy from the house that Kaufman built - Troma. <more> |
A Horror Movie Made By Horror Fans for Horror Fans (by w00f) |
Today, I am a happy gorehound. I've just seen "Slither," and it was a truly good time! OK, let's face it... this one isn't going to win any awards for originality. The story here is "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" meets "Night of the Living Dead" with hints of "The Blob," David Cronenburg's "Shivers," and a more-than-passing special effects nod to Brian Yuzna's "Society." But it WORKS here.James Gunn, a veteran of Troma Studios, has made a horror fan's horror flick. Laced with homages to everything from <more> |
Good, old fashion fright fest. (by Nightman85) |
Surprisingly funny black comedy is a sharp witted throw-back to old school horror films.Alien creatures inhabit the bodies of some small-town rednecks and reek some bloody havoc!While it's easy to see the influences of every horror movie from Night of the Living Dead 1968 to Tremors 1989 , Slither is itself a gutsy horror ride that firmly stands on its own. Writer/Director James Gunn delivers a story thats equally gripping and comical. There's plenty of action, suspense, and steely chills to be had as well. The special FX are nicely well-done and provides for some unforgettably <more> |
