Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
ghanbarireza Do not waste your time. If you stay in toilet for two hours is better than watching this movie.
michaeltrivedi Slither is a well made movie, about an alien slim that reaches the world through as a asteroid. And this alien ends up infecting humans, so on and so forth.I thought the two main characters were interesting, figuring the guy is 20 years older in real life than Elizabeth Banks. But, I could care less about either actor to tell you the truth. No star power is going to bring this campy horror movie to life. Worth a watch on a very, very, very boring night. 3 Stars
Python Hyena Slither (2006): Dir: James Gunn / Cast: Michael Rooker, Elizabeth Banks, Nathan Fillion, Gregg Henry, Jenna Fischer: Horror comedy that gives creepy sensations. Plot regards slugs that arrive from space and inhabit human targets. Setup actually works because the screenplay develops the characters and environment without rushing into chaos, however from there very little happens other than slugs attacking people. With an ending that seems hopeless director James Gunn somehow brings feeling into it. Michael Rooker is first infected while in the midst of an affair. The emotional core in how his wife, played by Elizabeth Banks still loves him, despite their marriage problems. Nathan Fillion plays a cop who has a thing for Banks, and forms a search party for Rooker who has become a large slug like creature not bent on negotiating. Gregg Henry brings comic relief as a cynical Mayor. We know that things are not set to conclude well for Rooker. We also know that Fillion and Banks will reconnect after this catastrophe is over and done. Henry as the mayor stole his scenes so well that when he is attacked, I felt bad for the loss. This is not a great horror film but it is amusing camp filmmaking that may remind target fans of such films of the 1950's. It has slimy visuals that are often disgusting yet horror fans may enjoy what creeps underneath their feet. Score: 5 ½ / 10
drystyx This could have been much worse, because it was a sci-fi movie, which is about as low as the bar gets in the movie world, but it was bad enough as it was.It's basically a combination of as many horror and science fiction staples as the writer could muster. If any were missed, it was only because of the time element.It keeps in line with the censorship policy of the sci-fi channel of neo-Nazi propaganda, making movies for American women, most of whom are blond, by perpetuating the myth that men prefer blonds, even though only about one out of ten do, though nine out of ten dare not admit it to women, who rely on the myth for control. It's just easy to be blond. Most people can do it just by hours in sunlight.Here, we have a creature who prefers a blond, and the whole movie is generated around this brainwashing scheme to make us think it is an animal's nature, when it is exactly the opposite in the animal world.That's bad enough, and contrived enough, but the contrived script goes so far as to make sure no one in an entire town survives a horror ordeal except a few principles. That's so contrived that only a moron can't be bored by it.Why is it not 1/10? The actors seem to enjoy it, and looked like they had fun, and did their job well. There are a few things that aren't exactly in line with the horror formula. Not many, but a few.Still, it's a movie that probably only women will enjoy, and the only men who watch it are those who do so for a project, or to critique it, or to please the women in the group. It's not enjoyable at all for guys. And the women probably won't like the idea that a brunette gets to survive in the end along with the blond.
