\"\"<\/a>Slither<\/em><\/strong> is a wild and fun creature-horror that has plenty of that James Gunn humor that has worked so well in his Guardians<\/em> films. The cast headlined by Nathan Fillion, the beautiful Elizabeth Banks and inscrutable Michael Rooker are fantastic and although I don\u2019t think it\u2019s some classic, this is one I\u2019ll check out again.<\/p>\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>This is the story of an unnamed evil that wreaks havoc on a small town. Intent on devouring all life on Earth, this dark and slimy entity is infecting anyone in its path, starting with a man named Grant Grant (MICHAEL ROOKER). Now it\u2019s up to local sheriff (NATHAN FILLION), Grant\u2019s wife (ELIZABETH BANKS), the obnoxious town mayor (GREGG HENRY) and a teenage girl (TANIA SAULNIER), to stop the spread of rampant devastation \u2013 and shocking mutilation \u2013 before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: <\/strong>This was actually my first viewing of Slither<\/em><\/strong> which, for whatever reason, I had avoided watching (even though I own the old DVD). While it\u2019s not some horror classic, it is quite funny and has that James Gunn flavor intermixed with Nathan Fillion\u2019s comedic stylings. But even the horror elements, in a creature feature sort of way, works and considering the film\u2019s budget, they did a lot, though some of the visual effects were a bit wonky. Beyond that, Elizabeth Banks shows off her charisma, able to balance to the two genres and Michael Rooker, even under a ton of make-up, perhaps delivers the stand-out performance.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
