8/10
In a southern Mayberrian hunting town a meteorite crashes and a small, cephalopodan parasite begins to wreak havoc. When the infected townsfolk start turning into zombie-like alien hybrids by means of crazy death-worms, the world’s only hope rests in the hands of the do-good, love struck sheriff. This is a blood-soaked battle to save mankind and it is packed with schlock sci-fi/horror fun. Starring Nathan Fillion, Michael Rooker and Elizabeth Banks
This flick was a nice, refreshing splatter of hot blood to the face. Slither is so steeped in stereotypes and lowbrow comedy tactics that it ate its way through the sub-cockles of my heart and laid egg after filthy egg until I was in love.
Loved almost everything about this beast. Didn’t love the ending but only by a little. Sure, it was intense and I still drank it down like it was a bottle of cheap whiskey I was able to get for three ninety-nine because of my rewards membership card but I couldn’t help feel like the finale could have been more, that’s all. I’m not saying I absolutely hated the ending, mind you, I am just pointing out that I thought it could have had more climactic craziness. High five to early James Gunn!
