Consensus: A slimy, rotten B-movie homage oozing with affection for low-budget horror films, Slither is a tale of creepy crawly little beasts that invade Smalltown, USA. Equally creepy and funny, critics say it's one of the most enjoyable of its type in years -- if you've got the stomach for this sort of thing. Slither is a wicked good time: it'll make you squirm -- when you're not busting a gut laughing.
Theatrical Release:Mar 31, 2006 Wide
Box Office: $7,774,730
Synopsis: Slither is an edgy blend of heart-stopping terror, wry humor and surprising humanity from genre-bending screenwriter James Gunn, whose Dawn of the Dead became one of 2004's most surprising... [More]

If there were still drive-in cinemas around, "Slither" would be a perfect B horror movie to sit in your car and watch to the sound of shrieks and one-liner jokes blasting around a hilly parking lot from so many tiny speakers. Full Review |

It wows us with the expertise way Gunn has in how he handles the creepy hokum and keeps a good balance between the chills and the laughs. Full Review |

Gunn's film is masses of nostalgic fun if you grew up with body horror of the 1980s. And just plain gross fun if you didn't. Full Review |

Gross-out horror comedy is my least favorite genre, but this movie's so skillful I have to take my hat off to it. Full Review |

Slither is a monster movie with a wry smile on its face, where (thankfully) the gruesome effects, rather than the humour, tend towards full on gross out. Full Review |

Slither is over-the-top, gross, funny, bizarre and totally weird. In other words, it might be just what you're looking for this weekend. Full Review |

A pretty fun movie that makes good on laughs and gory gross-outs. Full Review |

|
4/5 |
Unlike the current concept of over the top bloodletting that thinks the sequence is more important than the sluice, this inspired auteur gets his groovy grue just right. Full Review |

 2/5 |
Passatempo descartável que não funciona sequer como comédia, sátira ou homenagem às ficções B.

Here's a review that not only benefits from, but requires, words like giant squid, festering blob and tummy tentacles. Full Review |

It's refreshing to see a movie like Slither, which has obviously been made by someone with a deep affection for the glory gory days of American horror comedy. Full Review |

A monstrously funny alien-invasion-zombie-horror-comedy. Full Review |

|

There's enough material in that scene for a whole conference of psychologists, but I couldn't stop to figure it all out. I was too busy laughing. Full Review |

Slither is an honourable amalgamation of several dozen spookers of days gone by. Full Review |

The film brought me little pleasure, but it revived happy memories of a laidback caper movie also called Slither, starring Peter Boyle and James Caan, made in 1973. Full Review |

3.5/5 |
Of course, Slither isn’t for everyone, but if you’ve a yen for gallons of grue and a smart, sassy story to boot, you couldn’t do better than Gunn’s hellishly fun horror show. Full Review |

Slither is an absolute treat. Full Review |
