srdjan_veljkovic As "yet another body-snatchers invasion movie" (YABSIM), it's OK. The main "problem" is that it seems that it could have been more.Elizabeth Banks is not as pretty as she can be and Nathan Fillion is not as funny as he can be, so, the two main things that could have made it "more than a YABSIM" are misfires.The script could have been better also, we could have had much more suspense and mystery and less simple gore. So, script could have done the "escape from YABSIM" and/or made a better YABSIM.There are many issues, but, most are OK, as this is a silly movie, after all, so, we don't expect much. But, the "alien grows by embedding humans" is particularly badly done, from writing, to directing, acting...Bottom-line: if you like decently done light horrors with some humor, this one is for you. Otherwise, pass, there's nothing in it for you.
sol- A meteorite carrying alien life crashes down in the woods of a small Canadian town with horrific results when one local citizen discovers it in this affectionate tribute to the horror B-movies of yesteryear. While the makeup and special effects are remarkable and there are several neat genre in-jokes, the best aspect of 'Slither' is the fact that the direction in which the material is going is deliciously unclear at first. At certain times, the film seems to be heading in the direction of an alien parasite thriller with the "worms" wrapping around the brain of victims and assuming control. At other times, the movie seems headed in a 'Shivers' sexually transmitted disease direction with phallic appendages that emerge from the first victim's stomach when aroused by female victims to-be. The direction in which the film ultimately heads is less interesting than either of these, and evil is overcome a tad too easily in the end, however, it is still a fairly gripping ride with standout sequences including the bathroom incident referenced on the film's poster and DVD cover, and a sequence in which some townsfolk discover what happened to a woman who mysteriously disappeared after an intimate night with the first victim. Michael Rooker (probably best known nowadays for 'Mallrats') is excellent in the main male role, while Elizabeth Banks brings a nice degree of unexpected spunk as the heroine here.
MissSimonetta How did this movie bomb? Slither (2006) is a hilarious horror-comedy, reminiscent of 1980s entries in the genre like Evil Dead II or Return of the Living Dead. Like most great cult films, Slither is insanely quotable and a great choice to watch with a group.There's a good mix of over the top gore and awesome creature effects, but the real treat of the film are the characters. Though they adhere to certain horror movie archetypes, they have a life of their own and the actors playing them are a lot of fun. The script is quirky and though there's obviously a lot of influence from 1980s horror-comedies, Slither had its own unique feel and never drenches itself in nostalgia to the point where it feels like an exercise in empty pop culture referencing.
Boots Man The movies starts with dating and some usual conversation until something that gives a twist happen. The woman is so in love with her man until things went so hard for them. It is very sweet as it is painful to see the two on a twisted fate that one would feel sorry for them. The main male character provide solace and comfort but not until the remaining parts of the movie when it get so intense and tension filled. For anyone who loves seeing zombie and creepy crawlies, this one is for you.I love this movie but it has some of the creepiest scenes. I love this beautiful movies because some zombies are wearing boots and also Gregg Henry is also wearing a beautiful boots here. He must be wearing the boots most of the time in the movie which can really feel good.
