Slither review
DC Universe supremo Gunn’s thinly conceived debut feature gets a glossy repackaging for seemingly no other reason than his later success
TL;DR
- 'Slither' is writer-director James Gunn's first feature film from 2006.
- The film was a commercial flop but is now being repackaged, possibly due to Gunn's subsequent success.
- It features an alien lifeform that crash-lands on Earth and possesses residents of a small South Carolina town.
- The film is characterized by its comic body horror, rubbery practical effects, and jokes.
- Notable elements include the use of AM-radio classics during violent sequences and a cast that appears committed to the material.
