(1 - 32) of 32 OFCS Rating: 94% Fresh Page   1   "Slither is a monster movie with a wry smile on its face, where (thankfully) the gruesome effects, rather than the humour, tend towards full on gross out."   Eye for Film   Anton Bitel 4/5 "Unlike the current concept of over the top bloodletting that thinks the sequence is more important than the sluice, this inspired auteur gets his groovy grue just right."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron 8/10 "A hilarious, profane, and wonderfully gooey creature feature, Slither emerges from its slimy eggsac one of the most flat-out entertaining horror movies in years."   Freeze Dried Movies   Brian Juergens B "Slither is ceaseless in its entertainment value, but it never breaks out of its tight cage and rampages across the screen, which this kind of madcap story deserves."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf "The impregnation scene is part John Hurt in Alien, part Marilyn Chambers in Rabid, part Billy Bob Thornton in Monster's Ball. "   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2.5/4 "...the lack of character development and distinctly uneven pacing prevents it from becoming as much fun as Gunn clearly wants it to be."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2.5/4 "Takes a stylish, back-to-basics approach to the material and doesn't hesitate to throw everything in but the kitchen sink."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman B+ "It's a slimy, high-energy adventure that borrows from countless previous films, yet it whips all those old ingredients into a highly entertaining new dish."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3/4 "Slither may come up short as a complete work of horror but it more than makes up for it in laughs."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress B+ "Gunn knows and loves the genre, and his affection for the film's various inspirations is palpable. My affection for his movie, in turn, is virtually boundless."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 3/4 "...the epitome of hokey B-movie horror hedonism...a demonstrative deadpan horror show that blends observational sensationalism with rousing popcorn-oriented panache."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng B "A great, goofy B-movie, a clever homage to the flicks that filled double bills in the 1950s, combining low-brow slapstick and gory scares in equal measure."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "Slither starts out slowly; the first half-hour drags. Things pick up, however, and once Slither slides in its groove, the movie crackles with campy energy."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/5 "Slither is an absurdly funny, creepy-gross sci-fi/horror hybrid that is bulging at the seams with references to horror movies new and old, serious and campy, profound and forgettable."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 7/10 "A pretty fun movie that makes good on laughs and gory gross-outs."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 7/10 "...one of the most entertaining horror blasts from the past few years..."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo "After a parade of psychological horror thrillers, it's refreshing to find a monster movie that doesn't pretend to be anything but."   Light Views   John Larsen 2.5/4.0 "The only substance you'll find here is the slimy, gooey type (and a healthy appreciation for the genre as a whole)."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 4/5 "Gunn has made a love letter to these horror invasion flicks of the 1980s, and it's name is Slither."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr B- "ultimately oozes out of control in its gooey climax...but even then Gunn lobs one hugely funny sexual metaphor our way and Nathan Fillion's got the comic timing to punch the joke."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2.5/5 "Seems to miss the mark it so desperately wants to hit "   Monsters At Play   Lawrence P. Raffel 3.5/4 "Actually makes good on the 'horror comedy' label by being both flat-out creepy and darkly funny."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh B- "Inspired by 50s invasion B-movies and Troma films, Slither elicits a fine balance of laughs and armrest-grabbing moments."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "[T]he deeply astonishing thing about Slither: at the same time that it's making you want to scratch your own skin off, it's also really funny, in a grim black way..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "You know that kid in school who would eat anything just for the fun of grossing people out? Well, Slither is the movie equivalent of that kid."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 2.5/4 "A serviceably fun, if slightly too polished, homage to creature features-gone-by."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 4.5/5 "Finally, we have a horror film that recaptures the schlocky spirit of the '80s"   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 3.5/5 "This rip-roaring horror romp combines alien and zombie genres in a way that's both exciting and hilarious, stirring in a lively, nonstop narrative with complex characters and excessive gore."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C+ "I found myself on the edge of my seat a few times."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 4/5 "If you're the type who appreciates the half-scary, half-silly comic book-y approach of titles like Gremlins, Tremors, and Eight Legged Freaks, I'd bet you $9.50 and a small popcorn that you'll enjoy Slither."   Cinematical   Scott Weinberg 3/10 "Goofy, blood-and-guts tained comedy/horror that inevitably evokes feelings of repugnance and disgust."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 3.5/4 "A story of how the pods comprising the cult of neo-cons aren't shambling anymore. Now they've got teeth, and a real desperate taste for meat."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw  (1 - 32) of 32 OFCS Rating: 94% Fresh Page   1
