I'm not a big fan of B movies, I think its just an excuse to be lazy and unimaginative which probably took a lot of the enjoyment out of this one. It's the same story that we've seen in countless other alien invasion movies with a bit of humor thrown in, which is what made this not a complete waste of time. |

Funny, gross, not so scary - this a new take on the old body snatchers routine. This horror/comedy hybrid works for me mainly because the actors look like they're having a blast. It's not highbrow, but I enjoyed it. |

Slither was not scary at all but had quite a few funny scenes and humorous dialog. The special effects were not great but good enough to watch without dwelling on them. If you want a horror/comedy this one could be good for you. |

I enjoyed the campiness factor of this film. The creepy crawlers are not scary, they're disgusting and I think that's why this movie's comedic nature worked. I did like the simple storyline and the fact that the film makers made fun of people that live in mid-America were more droll than flat-out mean. Even though the main lead characters were not fully explored, the side characters made up for it. For instance, the mayor was interesting because he's satirical yet still somewhat likeable. Think of the film as an alien film turned into a zombie movie. Although a little more focus on the alien lifeform could have elevated this picture in a new level, it's still not bad. This movie will suit anyone who is easily disgusted. It reminded me of the 80's with films like "Dead Alive." |
