I have not liked a modern horror movie in a long time. However the trailer for this looks promising in a funny Evil Dead way. By that I mean the ridiculouse violence accompanied by bad looking monsters. Anybody else looking forward to this?

Cant say OI have heard of it

Got a link for us perhaps?

yes a link would be good so we can have a informed opinion

maybe it's just me, but this looks like a comedic version/update of Night of the Creeps...

check that, NOTC was comedic (without trying)...let's try this again...

this looks like a remake of NOTC, without that whole-same-title-reference-thing.

Looks good. Sort of in a Tremors style from what I can tell from the trailer.

Have being looking forwards to it ever since I saw the trailer.

WTF is this? Is this supposed to be a horror or Comedie?

Some People just Don't UNdersatnd we are not in the 70ies anymore and Slasher Films are just awfull.

What's with the incredibly fat chick?

At least it's got Nathan Fillion.

This may not be such a lame goofy looking comedy horror film. I been reading some interesting reviews from other forums. I'm planning to see this weekend.

It looks like it might be funny.

this looks like a big ripe of from the Fly

Holy Shit! I just looked for a thread about this wondering if anybody posted about it and I did myself way back in summer. I didn't even remember seeing a trailer for it until about 4 weeks ago and apparently I saw one over 6 months ago. My mind is baffled.

Anyway, I just saw this. Its the first "horror" film I've seen at the theaters in a long time. I really like it (although this movie I can tell will not be as cool on a small screen). The movie starts out slow and isn't as funny as I thought, but more and more keeps developing so it definitely kept my attention. Very f*cked up movie btw.

Shit dude, this movie, was sooo awesome. I saw it yesterday, and it was one of the best new movies I've seen lately, other than V for Vendetta. It was great man!

It was sooo gross it was funny, and the dry humor was hillarious. Too bad it was filmed in Canada

hahah, yeah, or the part where they police guys are talking to the mayor..."His arm was all bendy!" that was great

I'm thinking of checking this out tomorrow. I've heard it be compared to the excellent 'Tremors'. Looks fun.

Im old gregg!

Just bought it on DVD yesterday and let me just say this is an AWESOME movie! Good special effects, great one-liners, lots of laugh out loud moments and loads of gore/gross moments to keep the audience satisfied. All the actors were right for their parts and the story while a bit slow in the beginning really speeds up and doesn't stop until the end.

Even though I was born in 1987, I still have seen a lot of the 80's horror flicks like The Fly, The Thing, Night of the Creeps and Tremors. Director James Gunn really pays homage to the 80's style monster movies in Slither. All throughout the film if you watch and listen closely you'll notice names from all these great movies. This movie was great and I recommend it to everyone who enjoyed the 80's monster movies.

thumbsup

And to think it wasnt even shown at my Multiplex whilst TCM THE BEGGINING notches up its 3rd week

this movie was SO NASTY it was funny, ugh talk about gross

Bump.

Thinking about renting this...

Is it worth it?

i say yes, but most people say no.
Slither doesnt really have its moments.
It has many scene's in which could be called "WTF" worthy.

me i dont need to rent it, Ive seen it 4 times, and i feel its only a 3 time "Seen that" at most.

so far out of ever person i know first hand, who has seen it, other then myself, hates it, and feels it was a mass waste of money.

but if you dont watch it you will never know for yourself.
i say rent it, the worst that can happen is you see some cow's, and have wasted whatever said current film renting fee's there are where you live.

Hmm, I liked it a lot. Could have been better in humor and gore but it sure was a great movie for an evening with some friends and beers.
Nice oneliners around and some impressive effects. Definitely rental-worthy!

well yeah it could have been better, but they made it how they wanted to make it, nathon fillion was more then happy with how it came out.

Cant say i blame him.

Very cool movie anyhow! Atleast it went beyond the modern steotype lame horror style with it's old-school vibe and cool scenes. And some of the lines are real ballbreakers!

This unpretentiously does all it sets out to do.
It has some good gore, some cool FX and creatures, likeable/enjoyable characters, well used humour and mixed various bits from here and there to create it's own film. "The Thing", "Shivers", "Squirm", "Night of the Creeps", "The Blob" and even "Society" were blended together to make a fun horror *new* movie.
The main creature's face gave off a heavy Bilial vibe, "Basket Case's" Frank Hennenlotter was namechecked on a banner, Lloyd Kaufman appeared, Rob Zombie was heard and we had a character named J. MacReady.
Despite some weird criticisms of the CGI, I thought it was very well used, it looked very good for the most part and was utilised as it should be...to enhance 'real' FX and to do impossible things otherwise.
And it was nice to see a film that referenced other films yet still stood on it's own,
Shame that director James Gunn never did the same with his own Zombie film instead of needlessly hyjacking "Dawn of the Dead".
