Slither

So um what do you guys think of the new movie coming out called "Slither"?

From what i seen it's like a movie about slugs, zombies and aliens.. Apprently this thing crashed onto to the planet earth, a guy walked toward the meteor and he gets attacked and then he's infested, then chaos begins..

Watch the clips on the Myspace page, they're really entertaining. I don't expect a lot of junk from the guy who wrote the Dawn of the Dead remake.

And it has kind of been done, Night of the Creeps, for example. But not to this scale, and not handled in such a way.

I have high hopes for it.

If it blows, it blows, but it does look god damned interesting.

And when I say "I don't expect a lot of junk from the guy who wrote the DOTD sequel" I meant I dont think he's one to write a ****** movie. I didn't mean to say I dont expect anything good from him.

But yeah, looks alright for now.

At first glance, this movie didn't interest me in the slightest. The first trailer I saw was rather vague, flashy and loud, like most horror/scifi/action trailers are these days.

But after the 6th or 7th time I caught the spot on TV, I was struck with a startling realisation. That's f*cking Captain Mal! Hell yes. Maybe it's worth a peek after all.

It looks funny, a movie like Tremors (whick I loved), so I intend on seeing it.

Plus, there's Nathan "Cap'n Mal" Fillion too .

Just saw it, it was quite funny. There were a few references and nods to other horror movies, like CHUD 2, "Meat."

Im not certain but I'm pretty sure Micheal Rooker was wearing the same ring he wore in Mallrats, on the same hand n' finger.
