Slither

[goldenwarrior]

Well I actually went to one of those big things they call a theater today and I was really tempted to go see The Hills Have Eyes but I promised myself I would wait for the uncut version on DVD in June so I purchased a ticket to go see James Gunn's Slither.

Some of you that saw the movie may have caught the little scene they showed from The Toxic Avenger not a suprise being that it was directed by the Troma alumnus.

It started off as what seemed to me to be a southern version of the Blob except with comedy thrills and chills, then it took a wild unsuspecting spin in another genre direction.

If you take a look at my Horror list you can see that I really don't care for horror films with more than the average amount of comedy in them.
Overall I liked the humorous scenes in this movie but I do think it went overboard a few times but thats just me I like a serious plot.

Those who like Horror/Comedies will love this movie.

I thought the acting was done very well.
Nathon Fillion also known for his work in Firefly and Serenity held his own and did a wondeful job.
Elizabeth Banks was amazing the camera really likes her and so do I I was dissapointed that there were not any T + A after all it was indeed a "R" rated film.
Special Effects and Gore outstanding there was a scene that looked like CGI but I wasn't sure.

Final note I liked the movie but it isn't something I personally wouldn't wait for DVD.

Thats just me I am not big on Horror slash Comedy but I admit this one was done very well in that particular genre, so if you do like that I suggest you get off of your behind and go check it out right now!

I would rate it 7 out of 10

You can read The Dude's review here from movies online he gave it a amazing 10 out of 10

There is plenty of CGI in Slither, and some of it very unconvincing.

The director stages the usual defence in that "it was the only way we could do it" (i.e. 27000 writhing worms), continuing this worrying transgress of the horror movie into the paradox of anything can now happen when, in fact, less and less is actually happening.
