Review of Slither

Slither (2006)
6/10
Slither me timbers
27 October 2006
I found the beginning of this flick dull and slow......the end was so-so...but the middle....its all about the middle....I broke out in laughter and fear and found myself enjoying this B-Movie spoof that gives you shades of The blob, Invasion of the body Snatchers and Night of the living dead". It was like the movie just woke up from its stupor and went totally for it. The plot goes something like this...In what is shamefully a straight rip off from "The Blob and "I married a Monster from outer space"...A loving husband who just wants some nookie from his wife, doesn't get any so he goes to a bar and picks up some chicky and they head to the woods. His Conscious gets the best of him before anything can happen but then spots what appears to be some gooey mass thats crashed out of the sky on the ground. He becomes possessed by something from within the mass and then begins to infect other townspeople. His wife teams up with others from town to battle the invasion. There's a lot more that happens during all this but I wont give it away. What I will say is that its not for the weak stomach crowd. Stay with this flick and it will pay off...as best as a b-movie spoof can pay...Keep an eye out for the twin girl zombies and their one liners that had me rolling on the floor...Its not as good as "Shaun of the Dead"..Buts its good fun..
