SLiTHER Review and Discussion - Page 2

I'm really late to the party, but great stuff.

Great little touches everywhere. Love the karoake Crying Game.

I heard about the rob zombie and the lloyd kaufman cameos, but I didn't catch them. Where were they?

Zombie was the voice of the doctor on the phone, I think. Starla called him after Grant told her he had been treated by the doc for bee stings.

Damn straight. Great stuff, HAM.

I liked Back to Back.


I feel so special, Grant Grant replied to a message on myspace. I need to see this again, like right now. Showtimes dwindling, I wonder if it will still be playing in town tomorrow, or be in that limbo between first and second run.

Proud to say I did my part, seeing it a third time with my 14 year old cousin. There were some kids in the back that definitely shouldn't have been there, and while they were obnoxious, like many in the 15-17 age bracket, they were genuinely scared, screaming at the top of their lungs every five minutes. It was great.

Finally saw it today with my brother. Whatta hoot! We laughed & squirmed all the way through! Perfect matinee flick...

the only unfortunate thing/s:
I had to hunt down a place that it was still playing during the day in the Orlando area (1/2 hour away= oh well) & the theater was nearly empty save 1 or 2 other people... I can't believe the movie bombed as much as it did... it's a travesty! I recommend to anyone that's a fan of horror/comedy or creature features. Most fun I had at the theater since Zathura (diff reasons of course)...

Yeah, it's already in the dollar movies down here in south texas. The movie was in the first run for only 2 weeks! That fucking sucks. This is a great movie.

Yeah, I agree. I know I wouldn't have seen the movie if I hadn't basically been dragged by a few friends. All I knew about the movie is that it had a bunch of worms wiggling around, which isn't something that would get me opening my wallet to see.

Recently got to watch this again. So great. Just so well done all around.

It actually gains from subsequent viewings.

Fillion's "Well now that is some fucked up shit" never fails to make me laugh.

Mentioned this to Rippoll on Facebook, but this is the rare film that succeeds BOTH as an homage to the horror films that preceeded it AND on its own terms. It's so good, so funny.

Devin comparing it to Shaun of the Dead was right on in that regard. Both films had that in common.

Exactly. It works on the same level. I wish Gunn would make more movies....

I wonder if Super got picked up by any distributors yet...

The Deer Cheer festivities intercut with the impregnation may be one of my favorite montages ever. Take that, Godfather and Rocky IV!

"I'm SO fuuuuckin' huuuuuuuungray!"

For whatever reason, I've found this is an incredibly difficult movie to get people to watch. They'll look at the DVD box and instantly dismiss it. "This looks terrible." If I can manage to get them to the cheesy menu, there is more complaining. It's an uphill battle.

That said, everyone I've shown this to has dug it(something like 15 people).

I thought it was pretty great when I first saw it, but subsequent viewings have placed it firmly in the "best horror films of the decade" list.

Yeah, it's become one of my favorite movies period.

It's such a small thing, but I was blown away by the fact that the two little girls didn't get out of the house without getting violated and infected. That was the moment where it went from parody/horror to full blown, no fucking around, horror.

So many terrific gross-outs too. I know we're not supposed to speculate on what's coming next with the CHUD lists, but the brief shots of alien jizz pouring out of Fillion's abdominal wounds at the end wouldn't be out of place on the "Bodily Function Junction" list.
