Slither Reviews |
It’s unlikely Slither will have much appeal beyond a genre audience, but on this showing Fillion must surely be destined for the big time, imbuing his character with a genuine sense of sweetness, even while he’s up to his neck in killer slug-creatures. Funny, violent, and very gory. [read review] 9/10
--Richard Strachan (FutureMovies.co.uk)
...is a nice variation on the classic zombie theme, but is sublimely unencumbered by any deeper, profound metaphor, even with right-wing putz of a mayor who frets about having his favorite soft drink handy when all heck breaks loose. The mission here is to provide light entertainment and that it does. [read review] 
--Andrea Chase (Killer Movie Reviews)
It's a very savvy film, aware of its heritage but not full of winking irony or self-referential jokes. It has some wickedly grotesque makeup and special effects, too, which is a plus for a movie like this. It reaches a point where it does sort of become just another zombie film... [read review] B+
--Eric D. Snider (EricDSnider.com)
...isn't for everyone. In fact, it's probably only for a select few - those who revel in this sort of Troma-inspired, bloodsoaked offering and understand what it's trying to do. Those who enjoy their horror straight up won't be impressed, nor will those who prefer their comedy to come without a vomit bag. I believe Slither is exactly what Gunn wanted it to be and there's little doubt that his core audience will be thrilled. But it's unlikely the film's appeal will be as broad as it is deep.

--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
...ultimately oozes out of control in its gooey climax before tepidly trailing off, but even then Gunn lobs one hugely funny sexual metaphor our way and Nathan Fillion's got the comic timing to punch the joke. "Slither" is a surprisingly entertaining package. [read review] B-
...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. [read review] 
--Brian Orndorf (eFilmCritic.com)
...is a post-modern creature feature for hipsters. Cloying smart, gleefully mischievous and resplendently, stupendously gross. [read review] 
--Keith Breese (FilmCritic.com)
If you're looking for real horror look elsewhere, but if you're looking for an entertaining film, "Slither" fits the bill. [read review]
--Joshua Starnes (ComingSoon.net)
Enjoyably schlocky horror flick that achieves the perfect balance of shocks, scares, laughs and gloopy effects sequences. [read review]
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
This entertaining schlock shocker really gets under the skin. [read review]
--Michael Rechtshaffen (Hollywod Reporter)
