The Troma comparisons are apt, as James Gunn was employed by Troma (he wrote Tromeo and Juliet, among others) and Slither was partially produced by what’s-his-face from Troma. In fact, in one scene you can see part of The Toxic Avenger (a classic Troma movie) playing on a television. The Toxic Avenger… also amazing.

I think Slither was entirely successful in its aim. Its aim was to entertain. I was really, really entertained. I give it an A.

Please do, you know how much I love terrible movies. And me from the Future can back that up… granted something terrible doesn’t happen to me.
Although, It would make more sense if something terrible does happen causing me to come back in time. Oh dear God, does this have anything to do with Nathan Fillion?!

I more or less agree with your views on Slither. My only issue with it is that it occupies an odd sort of middle ground, as it’s really a solidly ‘B’ movie script, the sort of thing Troma might make, but it’s quite polished production-wise and it’s obvious that a great deal of money went into making it (compared to other films of the genre). None of that is necessarily a problem, I just wasn’t quite prepared for it (based on the trailers I was expecting to take itself more seriously).

All in all a fun movie to watch, but I don’t have much desire to see it again.

And speaking of movie reviews, I just watched the worst movie I’ve ever seen! Painful! Awful! Expect a review on the Exploding Blog forthwith!

I haven’t seen Night of the Creeps, but I’ve heard that line so maybe I’ve seen a trailer for it.
That is indeed a fantastic line.

I like slither more than you did. Have you seen Night of the Creeps? Slither owes a lot to that film. It’s amazing. AMAZING. Here’s a quote from it:

“Well, ladies. I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is your dates are here. The bad news is… they’re all dead.”

Well that’s good, because you know how much we like surprises.

I will not tell you what Nathan Fillion does in 2014. I would not want to ruin the surprise.
