Slither (DVD, 2006, Anamorphic Widescreen)

The only thing that I can easily remember good coming out of 2006 was this movie. To say the least, it was high time that someone really epitomized the essence of a good Alien Bodysnatcher movie. Well, this is the one. When Alien broke ground in the late 70's, most people had never been so terrified before in their lives. Up until that time maybe Jaws was the scariest monster movie out there.

Slither takes a stab right at the movies that never try to encapsulate the pure evil of organisms infesting humans. These things thrive inside of a human long enough to get bigger and multiply and then they move on into another host. If you have a weak stomach or don't like to feel disturbed about alien invasions, then do not watch this movie. This was Rated R for Strong Horror, Violence and Gore and some Language.

Nathan Fillion and Elizabeth Banks did remarkably well in holding this movie together while Director James Gunn has moved in to the Horror Hall of Fame forever more for this one.

Check Out the GAG reel as well. You will certainly squirm out of your chair or bed on this one.

This film is very good and so are the actors. What makes this movie 4 out of 5 is that this film is mainly about some kind of evil thing haunting a small town. Well i would recommend this film to people who are interested in horror,bloody,gore and a little of porn and a evil thing haunting/killing/threatening people lives. The worst part i think in this film that has in most of the horror films is the plot is very fast. You have to understand what's going on first before suggesting what will happen next. Don't miss this film if you truly love watching horror films. Grade = B+

Mixing comedy and horror must be tricky, because rarely does cinema achieve the perfect balance between yuks and yuck. The gold standard might be An American Werewolf in London. But if you enjoyed Shaun of the Dead, you really should give Slither a look. Nathan Fillion does a take on the cowpoke leading role he had in the late, great tv show Firefly (and its followup film Serenity), as he tries to protect his town and his girl, the delicious Elizabeth Banks, from a slimy invasion. The special effects are mostly good, too, with something for everyone. The zombie-like victims are lots of fun, as is Gregg Henry, familiar to fans of The Riches on FX. He plays a similar role here, as the inimitable loudmouth mayor. Director James Gunn's one-time wife, Jenna Fischer (The Office) is underused in a bit part. At 96 minutes, this movie never feels slow or sloppy -- it holds you right 'til the end. Slither doesn't break any new ground, but it does do everything just right. And there's a standout sequence later in the film, revolving around the song You're Every Woman in the World to Me. This movie is a big step up from James Gunn's previous outings as writer of Scooby Doo and its sequel. If you're a Buffy fan, you may give this film a B+. And if you love this film, then you should dive into Buffy and Angel. In either case, be sure to watch all the way through the credits --

This is a different't kind of movie. It is a Horror movie but at the same time it is also a comedy at least I thought so. It is about it aliens trying trying to take over, and they have to enter the human body through the mouth to be able to do so, but anyway the people who are not taken over by what are suppose to be alien creatures are fighting to stay alive, and they have to try,and kill the main Slither Alien which is the first guy thats body was invaded. The Slither creatures look like big oversized slithering tongues in my opinion that is what they look like. I believe most people will enjoy this movie, and I recommend it highly for anyone who enjoys horrors but also likes a good laugh every now, and then. I am into collection Horror Movie and I have this one in my collection, and I give this movie 1 and 1/2 thumbs up.

Slither is not your run of the mill horror movie, it is more a homage to creature features of the 50's. If you loved The Blob and Night of the Creeps - and who did not love them?! - then this one is right up your alley.

Slugs from outer space crash land on Earth and infect a man. Seems like the slugs and the man merge consciousness so what the man held precious the slug does too. When all hell breaks loose the only one that has any influence with the slug/man/squid is his wife.

A little slow but there was no way around that - the background story had to be told. Nathan Fillion is...well, Nathan Fillion is a god. What can I say, I'm a Browncoat. Gregg Henry and Michael Rooker are fantastic! Both are really good actors and funny as hell.

Nice and gory, smart, funny and very profane. This is not for everyone and if you have a bad reaction to Air Supply's Every Woman in the World then you will have to cover your ears for some parts of this movie - it is their song!

Grab the popcorn, turn on the answering machine and sit with your honey. Slither is a throw back to what Sci-Fi should be. It's got some scary parts but it is sprinkled with enough humor to remind you why you put it on. To be entertained.

Take it for wht it's worth. Off the beaten path.

Peace.

With homages to the genre it creates a worthy laughable Saturday night cult classic. Perhaps even worthy of Mystery Science theatre. Written and Directed by James Gunn- its creepy,humorous and downright gorey. It all starts when Grant Grant (Michael Rooker), a rich guy in a small town gets infected by a alien virus that makes him perpetually hungry. But he still loves and stalks his much younger wife Starla; portrayed by Elizabeth Banks. Starla notices husband's new unusual behavior and his ever present his physical changes.As he continues to transform- the stuff hits the fan. And all they have to save them is the town sheriff-Billy Pardy.Billy Pardy is played by the underrated genius of Nathan Fillion-best know for his role in the cult Tv masterpiece known as "Firefly". Here he plays a small town southern Sheriff who must channell Bruce Campbell's Evil Dead character "Ash" or have his town and then the rest of the world consumed. A must see of any horror/comedy fan (and thats why i bought it). And for the Troma fans- A cameo by Lloyd Kaufman.

crazy dvd. very bloody and somewhat funny in it's own weird nature. it's a good dvd! if you liked dawn of the dead you will love this movie.

Funny, lots of different elements combined. Definitely not for children. Had the DVD before but it came up missing.

good movie. nice effects. funny and scary at the same time. good way to spend the afternoon. has a "zombie" deer. whats not to love?

this was a very good movie. the acting was good and the plot was cool. had good action and a creepy creature. better than alot of horror films. i recommend.

Very fast delivery and exactly what I ordered. My daughter loves her new horror flick, and it was brand new in the package, just as described. Thank you.

i was very satisfied when i bought this movie. the case and the movie were like new and i like that. i would buy from them again

This was a movie that gave me the HEEBY GEEBIES. Those creepy crawly worm like things were sickening. If you don't like bugs and the like this one may freak you out. But it was a good movie overall. You have to see this!

i had high hopes for this movie but some how didnt do it for me i did like it but was left felling cheated ................as allways rent frist

This is a very funny horror movie. It is meant to be that way and it works. The acting is great and the one-liners are hilarious.

WARNING: If you are a pet lover this is not the movie for you. They kill alot of dogs, cats and a cow in the first 15 minutes of the movie. I loved this whole movie exceot fir the ending. It was way to computer animated. THe sheriff and mayor was funny in the movie and the creatures where cool. This movie was like a zombie movie but it was pretty twisted. If you like horror movies or loved the 04 dawn of the dead I would get this movie. Its pretty cheap on ebay.

My daughter wanted this for her slumber party with 5 other young ladies, most of them loved it. The DVD was in excellent condition and was delivered in a timely fashion.

I recieved the product very quickely and in excellent shape. I would purchase from this seller again.
