  Review by DirkH ★★★★★ 10

  Any film that can instantaneously transport me back to my days of endless joyful browsing of VHS box covers deciding what horror to watch next, gets five stars.

  Michael Rooker owns this film so much it's just ridiculous.

  Review by Dyrnott ★★★½

  This was entertaining even though it is gross. It is a body horror horror movie which kinda surprised me. I thought it was more about slugs. It is directed by James Gunn famous for the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. It is a decent watch but not perfect . You can check it out on Tubi.

  Review by Matt! ★★★½ 3

  Before he cornered the “turning D-list superheroes into B-list superheroes with maybe a hair too much comedy” market, James Gunn spent a decade racking up a bizarre string of writing credits: Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead (2004), both live action Scooby-Doo movies, that unsettling Rainn Wilson movie Super (2010), one skit from the hilariously abysmal Movie 43 (2013), and this: a dark comedy creature feature that’s really just a thinly-veined biopic about the rise of Harvey Weinstein. (proof)

  Akin to The Blob (1988) in that it’s a cheeky B-movie horror made by people who love cheeky B-movie horror, Slither (2006) is a delightful alien-organism-invades-small-town flick that showcases Gunn’s flair for questionably timed middle school humor while also going HAM with half…

  Review by Todd Gaines ★★★ 32

  James Gunn's film about slugs and true love with an ode to his Troma past. Mac from The Thing owned a funeral parlor? Wino Lloyd Kaufman. Hot for teacher. James Gunn pulling a Hitch with a goofy as fuck cameo. Cooters? Officer Mal Castle. Gina rhymes with China. Horny Merle Dixon. Boy George moment. Slimy slug. X-ray vision. Freshly fucked glow. How come dogs always know what the fuck is really up? Line dancing. I'm sure in an alternate universe Nathan Fillion is an A-List five-time Academy Award winner. Worm fuck. Dr. Zombie? Dognapper. Extreme wedding vows. Trucker hats are badass. The Mayor's dirty mouth. Kinda-fat chic. Be careful what you swallow. Elm Street bubble bath. The way Elizabeth Banks…

  Review by Bunny🐰🪓 ★★★★ 6

  Now that woman is literally as "Big as a house".

  Slither is about an extraterrestrial parasite that infects the citizens of a town with the intent of devouring all life forms on Earth, it is up to the town sheriff and a local woman to put an end to the monster.

  This is one good example of how to make an entertaining and fucking amazing body horror flick by keeping the plot straightforward and staying away from unnecessary twists that feel like a protestor barring cars from moving by standing in the middle of the road, the road that you take daily to go to your office... peacefully... Hmm...
  Other than the subplot of Starla not being in love with…

  I wish this wasn't a comedy. Just give me the gross shit without Nathan Fillion looking at it and saying "okay that's just wrong"

  Review by Ian West ★★★★ 9

  Slither is an outrageous, goopy, grotesque tribute to the things many of us grew up loving, tastefully done with enthusiasm and never taking itself to seriously, which is the key... plus I absolutely adore the cast and it’s wonderful to see Gregg Henry again. 

  Filled with outrageous humor and dripping with gooey prosthetic effects, Slither is one hell of a fun time. What a horrible oversight this has been for me, but I’m kinda glad I watched it now in 2017, amidst the bevy of nostalgia laden films or throwbacks dripping with unauthentic aesthetics (see previous Dude Bro Party Massacre III entry lol or Lost After Dark), this feels real, and real will always shine through. 

  In a decade filled with ‘torture porn’, which I wasn’t the hugest fan of, Slither is amongst my favorite releases of the 2000’s, and a film I’ll be revisiting many times in the future!

  Review by Tony the Terror 🎃 ★★★½ 15

  This movie baffles me. There are so many things that say I should f*cking LOVE it: Elizabeth Banks, Nathan Fillion, gross out effects, humor, and so on. I watched it shortly after it came out with the complete expectation that I would adore it and yet I really didn’t care for it at all. More than 10 years have passed since then and I decided that I rally needed to give it another try because SURELY I just wasn’t in the right mood when I first watched it and SURELY it was just a fluke and SURELY I was going to watch it again and scream incredulously that I was insane for not worshipping it upon that first watch. And…

  That's it. The windows are staying shut at night now. I don't care how hot it is.

  Review by JP Dalton #ReleaseCoyoteVsAcme ★★★★½

  Disney: Hey, can you make a Marvel movie for us? We saw your previous works and we think you have potential.

  James Gunn: Who? Me?

  Disney: Yeh boi.

  James Gunn: ...

  Disney: ...

  James Gunn: Really?

  And then a legend claimed his birthright.

  Review by CinemaVoid 🏴‍☠️ ★★★½ 2

  The Cronenbergian urge to infect lesser lifeforms with parasitic offspring to mutate their bodies and control their minds for assimilation into the collective consciousness of an all-consuming entity.
