I wasn't sure what to expect with Slither as I have heard many conflicting opinions on this movie. I know the trailer looked pretty good, but, I didn't want to pay 9 dollars to see it in the theaters. It just came out on DVD so I bought it and just got done watching it. What we have is a mix of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Night of the Creeps thrown together to form a disgusting blob of a film, which I happened to enjoy very much.
Michael Rooker (Henry: Portait of a Serial Killer) stars as a man who is having problems with his wife at home. So, one night he decides to go to the local bar and pick up a girl. As they go out to the forest to mess around, they discover a fallen meteorite. A slug like creature attacks him and takes over his body, possessing him. Unbeknownst to his wife and the rest of the community, Rooker plots an invasion like none other by infecting the townspeople to start a breeding ground for world domination.
I got a real kick out of this movie. It is maybe once every 5 to 10 years we get a movie like this that you can truly call a monster movie. It has all of the classic elements that make it worth the while using ideas from Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Night of the Creeps. If you haven't seen this and you have seen the other movies, this is definitely worth your 15 bucks. 8/10
P.S.
You will probably never look at Michael Rooker the same way again.
