Reviews-Movies-Slither-2006     2       0       Reviews-Movies  2006-09-10 17:45:36     Slither (2006)  Reviewed by Jonathon Knight <img width="101" height="150" align="left" src="http://www.wheelsofterror.com/images/articles/Reviews-Movies-Slither-2006_1.jpg" alt=""> Taglines: What's Gotten Into You? Horror Has a New Face From the people that brought you 2004's Dawn of the Dead Slug it out. Synopsis: In this blend of the B movie classic The Blob (1958) and some Romero's zombies film, a meteorite collides in a small town. Grant finds it, and is infected by a parasite worm, which installs in his brain and causes him a creepy transformation into a monster. Starla, his wife, and Bill, a policeman, will try to stop him and the plague of worms generated by the creature. -IMDB Meat for the Beast: In my useless opinion, 2006 has been a great year for horror movies so far. When Slither was released in theaters in March, I missed it. I was disappointed that it bombed in theaters and now I have finally had the chance to sit down and view the well reviewed horror movie. What did I think of Slither? well, to tell you the truth, Slither was one hell of a good time, that's for sure! Slither reminded me of the 1986 horror film &quot;Night of the Creeps&quot; at times, with a mix of The Blob, The Thing, Basket Case and others, I mucho dug it! Slither had the gore, the laughs and all the action I needed in a 90 minute horror movie. I was busting a gut and looking away in disgust, at the same time! Thank you James Gunn for delivering a homage to those great horror film's of the 80's. The Cast is fantastic, no doubt about that. Elizabeth Banks was fantastic as Starla, the woman of everyone's desire. She was sexy, classy and kicked ass when ass needed to be kicked. Loved her! I've been a fan of Nathan Fillion since his Firefly days and loved him here. He's Funny, Charming and had some of the best reactions I've seen in a horror movie in awhile. Gregg Henry was great as the mayor who's delivery of the word &quot;*censored* Sucker&quot; was great, He says that magic word with such pride, you go boy! Michael Rooker is fantastic as Grant, who becomes the main villain of the movie. He plays an asshole with some heart, so to speak. Great Job all around! The Direction by James Gunn is great, doing great at both comedic timing and suspense (specially during the Slugs in the house scene). The movie has a fast pace and looks great, overall. Good Show Mr. Gunn! The Music by Tyler Bates was both Fun and Creepy at the same time and I really dug it. Not the forgettable trash I'm used to. The movie uses it &quot;R&quot; rating well. People are spilt in two (*censored*ing nice!), stabbed with tentacles, posts are jammed in necks, heads are blown off and some more. Good Stuff overall. The FX is practical with CGI enhancements. The Practical FX was done by Todd Masters (Of Demon Knight) and looks fantastic. The main monster of the movie looks like an overgrown version of Belial from Basket Case and looks great. The CGI looks good without looking crappy or fantastic but it serves the movie well and never distracts you. Did I have any problems with Slither? Well, to tell you the truth, I thought this movie would be much more. I thought there would be more gore, more zombie and slug action etc. What was there was enough, but being the greedy horror fan I am, I expected more. Slither was one hell of a fun time still and was one of the more entertaining movies of the year. On October 24th, pick a copy up and prepare to have a blast. &quot;Baby, I love you, Now leave me the *censored* alone!&quot; Yeah, you heard me!

It is a compelling thriller that devilishly destroys one cliché after another while speeding towards a shocking, surprise ending that comes complete with crawlspace chases, séances, a malevolent art gallery, and an unstoppable evil older than time itself. -IMDB Meat for the Beast: This review will cover this as a film and an independent film to be fair due to the different factors in budget and production. I don't sugar coat my reviews so it will be fair. First off, as a &quot;regular&quot; film, I found this mediocre in several ways. The weakest part is the acting. Most of the acting is horrendously bad - it's obviously most, if not all, of the actors have had no previous acting experience. Most of the dialogue isn't very good but a few parts near the end had slightly better lines. As a low-budget, independent horror film this is one of the better ones that I've seen. The acting is bad but you have to expect it with these type of films. Bare in mind that this is Jeff Thomas' first full-length film in which he directs, writes and acts. With that said, Jeff has talent which will get better with time and a better budget. This is in need of better editing and better dialogue and it would be much better. The story isn't very original but not bad. I found that a few different plot devices are employed, which might be better used separately and more fully developed. It needs more focus. Onto the good aspects of this film. The atmosphere. It has a great atmosphere considering the budget. It's moody with good use of shadow and angles. There is great tension, enhanced by the soundtrack. I've seen other reviews criticize the placement of the tense music versus the lighter music but I think it is fine. The most often used piece, the theme, is very tense and suspenseful. While listening to it, I feel the need to look behind me or run (roll) from a stalking killer. The setting is perfect for this type of film - an old school with lots of long, empty and turning corridors and places to hide, like a maze. Now, while most of the acting is bad, it's not a total waste. I found Robert Yensch, as Colin, to be the best actor of the lot. His face actually seemed to portray emotion while delivery his lines. Jeff Thomas, as Davis, is the second best actor here. He is definitely the most animated. The SFX are very good for an independent film. They're gory enough albeit the blood seems a little too light-colored at times. The arm through guy's chest is great! I had to re-watch that scene several times. The crucification-like scene is pretty good. But my favorite special effect is the under-used vampire boy, or as I like to call him &quot;Mini Nosferatu&quot;. He gave me nightmares! The hooded axe men are okay but what's with their head shaking? Is it a low-budget emulation of their head turning around 360 degrees or to show a surreal nightmare-like world? I think it looks weird. Jason Voorhees is scary without the caffeine jitters. Some say the film looks gritty. I like it. It's sort of hazy which adds a realistic look to it. It's pretty uniform throughout. The audio needs work. At several points the volume level changed drastically. I found one outdoor scene in the beginning to be especially bad, to the point that I could barely hear it. Besides this scene, the rest is sufficient. Overall, this is a very good first-time effort from a promising new director. If you can overlook the irregularities and bad acting and judge this AS a low-budget independent horror film, you'll like this film. As a movie, I give this a 2 out of 3. But, judging it as an independent film, I give it a 3. If you like independent horror film, you'll like this. If you're new to independent films, this is a good start. Worth a view.
