Jacob B @JB3.0 6 days ago James Gunn's criminally underrated directorial debut. A B-movie homage that's hella fun with amazing special effects that I was too busy being impressed by - and making a few jokes that their grotesque presentation makes Jabba the Hutt look sexy in comparison - to find repulsive, a memorable cast of characters and, much like Evil Dead II, having a healthy balance of played-straight horror and top-notch comedy. The former aspect becomes even creepier when, stripped of its sci-fi elements, it becomes clearer as the movie progresses that it's basically a metaphor for a woman getting out of a deteriorated-into-abusive marriage. I could be reading too much into it, but TBF, Elizabeth Banks does do a good job with her serious scenes, with no sign that she's treating material with contempt. Just because a film like this is hardly Shakespeare doesn't mean you should half-ass it. TL; DR, Slither achieved the same goal as its spiritual predecessor Night Of The Creeps: it managed to...Thrill Me.

James Gunn already displays almost all the traits that would define his later work: rowdy humour, lovable misfits, playful violence, disgusting creatures and a recurring family of actors led here by Michael Rooker and Nathan Fillion. Elizabeth Banks provides an essential emotional anchor while the film gleefully indulges in slime, prosthetics and body horror. Not every early-2000s joke lands, and the excess will be too much for some viewers, but the practical effects and manic energy give it real personality. It does not reinvent horror, but it combines its influences with enough affection and confidence to stand on its own. A wonderfully nasty mixture of "ugh" and laughter, and a fascinating early blueprint for the James Gunn who came later. See more Robert P @Superbad Sep 14, 2026 Slither = a 3.5 star Movie! See more Jason H @RT50328122 Sep 2, 2026 This movie is more interested in being shocking and gross than actually being good. Animal lovers are strongly advised to avoid it. See more Horror fan 4 @Horrorfan4life Sep 2, 2026 This has to be one of the best horror Sci-fi movies since alien. The practical effects are great. These slugs are creepy as hell and the woman in the barn scene is the best. Great cast and characters lead this movie and the performances were top notch. Love the use of country music!!!!!
