Slither

Plot:

Local businessman Grant is pissed off when his much younger wife refuses to fool around and ventures out to a bar. After heading outside with another younger woman, he’s attacked by weird snake like creatures and completely changes. A few animals start turning up missing, including pets and cattle and then people disappear too. The local sheriff, who secretly crushes on the man’s wife, gets involved when everything circles back to Grant.

Trivia:

Director James Gunn also wrote Dawn of the Dead and later went on to judge the first season of “Scream Queens” on VH-1, where the winner got a part in Saw 6.

Thoughts:

I can’t even begin to explain how much I hated this movie when it first came out, I mean really hated it. I thought it was stupid, not funny and not scary either. While looking for a completely different movie at my used store, I found a copy of this for $2 and decided to try it again, mainly because I like Nathan Fillion. Much to my surprise, I discovered that I actually kind of liked the movie this time. It had enough humor in it, to cut through the horror, without ruining the movie. It definitely feels like a tribute to the cheesy horror movies of past generations, without taking itself too seriously.
