A total blast. An homage to several old horror flicks, that's hilariously done. Great characters, great dialog, awesome effects. I love this movie, and it still holds up.

For fans of 80's horror in particular. It's not easy to be constantly entertaining, but this does it. I've read the negative comments on imdb and they are mostly shallow. It's gross? It was meant to be. It's not as good as movie x y and z? Defensive and this movie is a homage to mostly 80's cheese (I suppose it's only cool to like modern 80's horror style when it's Stranger Things, which was completely contrived 80's.) Boring? If that's what your opinion is, that's OK. Not funny? It's humorous, and another opinion. It's silly/stupid? Yes it is. Some people are above fun and see that as a negative, I forgot.
It's not perfect by any means. Its well written. It is stupid and fun. It will remind you of other movies. It that bother you, don't watch it.
Here's a re some movies it may remind you of.
Shivers. Night of the creeps. Society. Tremors. The Blob. The faculty. The Fly.

Better than most horror movies, not really scary but with humor and gross things, 1st movie im watching voluntary that has Nathan Fillion in it, Michael Rooker is just awesome in this. And it has a nice extra scene at the end XD

Neither funny nor scary horror comedy! Even the special effects are not really good: forget this one...

I love this MOVIE!!! Never even knew it released in 2006... I thought it was a recent release.. Thats how good its production value is :)

A must see for ANY zombie/slug/weird turn of events horror FAN!

Formulaic as hell, but still retains its own goofy personality. The humor feels a little old, but the absurd monsters and over-the-top splatter deaths are enough to guarantee 90 minutes of solid entertainment.

This film is so weird.
I really don't know what I felt watching this movie.
Sometimes I had fun and sometimes I just felt nothing.
This movie isn't so bad but also isn't so good.

Haha, they made it look so 90s in this one. The premise and creatures reminds me of Night of the Creeps (1986). Some familiar faces like Elizabeth Banks is in this, that guy from Dracula 2000, and the Rooker guy from Henry and The Walking Dead. The CG tentacles effects are like the Strigoi from The Strain series.
There's a little "Pokemon" reference, and one of the little girls was reading a Goosebumps book about the one where the librarian that eats worms and insects.
Now I gotta find out what the slow ballad song is... _"You're every woman in the world, to me"_

Great movie for feeders ;-)

The exploding barn-woman is epic :-)

Not scary. Just beautiful GORE. Bloody sperm-looking slugs from outer space that turn people into meat puppets. If you are squeamish about body disfigurement, don't do it. My apologies to animal lovers as well.

Of course James Gunn would make a horror film that has a comedic and disgusting tone to it, and that's a compliment! This is just as good as the first time I saw it, and hope he gets back to making more horror movies in the future.

A fun horror flick that feels like a spoof of an '80s movie.Although I found the ending to be a little underwhelming, it pleasantly surprised me overall. Would watch again.

This is a jammed packed homage to the horror genre and it has everything that you really want out of B-horror films. It feels really well balanced as far as horror comedy goes. The comedy is quite good for a 2000s film and the horror is genuinely nasty and gross. There is tons of grotesque practical effects that enhance the appeal of the film and the combination of practical and CGI works really well here. Story-wise, I keep thinking of Rabid while watching this but the film itself is so much fun. Some elements of the casting don’t really work well though. I thought Nathan Fillion and Elizabeth Banks have zero chemistry. Michael Rooker is great but sadly he does not get enough screen time. Overall it's still a decent watch. James Gunn clearly loves horror and hopefully he can take a break from those superhero nonsense.

"Slither" is a gross-out that's trying incredibly hard to be clever but instead is smarmy and thinks it's smarter than it is. It's impressive for its gore and that gore carries the movie along, at least at first.

The promising but seen-it-before plot of a meteorite unleashing an alien horror on an unsuspecting small town is entertaining but it all soon devolves into nothing but a gloppy, goopy, bloody mess. And worst of all, it's not scary in the least.

"If I weren't about to shit in my pants right now, I'd be fuckin' fascinated."

Still can't believe Jenna Fischer is even a receptionist here, Nathan Fillion being the best, Michael Rooker totally rocking it, Elizabeth Banks being fantastic, great effects, loads of gore, all those damn references, so many great jokes and Gregg Henry rocking it as Jack MacReady.

Still don't know why I didn't bought this one when I was younger. It was so cheap all the time but I wasn't that into horror back then and I think I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much as I do know with soo much more movie knowledge.

Anyway James Gunn's Slither still rocks and is one of the 00's horror gems.
