SLITHER ME TIMBERS!

Slither
Grade: A

I love the new comic horror movie Slither, writer/director James Gunn's B-movie extraordinaire about leech-like parasites from outer space that turn small town hicks into flesh craving monsters. I highly recommend it if:

1. You are a fan of Night of the Living Dead, The Blob, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Slither playfully borrows plot elements and sight gags from these cult favorites).


2. You think you can endure the sight of a slimy, dentally deranged squid man tearing someone in half with one of his razor sharp tentacles.

3. You don't mind it when Air Supply songs accompany images of cannibalism.

What's up with teenagers getting bitten by bugs resulting in lascivious drug trips? Remember I told you about that short film Bugcrush I saw? Super creepy weird and good -- and I don't even like horror films. What's the bug /teen connection, Stevie? Enlighten us!
