Best movie ever!
Short descriebed a good horror flick with loveable characters. Lets start with the simple plot, a small city gets invaded by parasites, which turn the citizen into a kind of zombie. Reason for 8 is the great effects usage. Dicent amount of gore and fun, while still manageing to be effective and a movie which can be taken seriously. Another bonus with this movie it does not use unessasery jumpscare.
*SIGH* Well......... *SIGH* I really wanted to like this. I love James Gunn, Dawn Of The Dead was great, Super was amazing, Lolypop Chainsaw was amazing and the Guardians of the Galaxy films are the best Marvel Films. After seeing and playing those games and films I wanted to see his directorial debut. I get what this film was going for, it wanted to be a schlocky comedy horror, and the second half was that... but the first half wasn't, and I quite literally mean half, I can pinpoint the exact second it turns into a great film, 45:00. But this is an hour and a half long film. The problem with the first half was that it was boring. Thats what makes it worse then the second half, they both half the same problems but the second half is very entertaining. But let me be clear it would not be a 10/10 if the whole film was as entertaining as the second, just a 7/10. One of the biggest problems is the effects,there are some great practical effects, but it is littered with very very very very sh*t CGI. Another is a romantic subplot that is useless, and has no payoff.If those 3 problems where fixed I'm pretty sure this film could have been an 8/10 and recommendable to anyone, but the way it was I would only recommend it to people that enjoy horror schlock.
Slither is definitely a pretty weak film. It's just not engaging or entertaining, it's actually pretty bland and boring. The dialogue really isn't anything all that great or original, it's pretty run of the mill and derivative actually. And this movie fails at being funny and at being scary, it's supposed to be a horror comedy, yet it fails pretty epically at being funny and or scary, so to me, it just fell short at being what it was made to be. Elizabeth Banks was alright In it I guess, I mean her and all the actors were just alright at best, nothing to fuss about. And this movie is nasty too, I mean it's gross, the slime and the disgusting visuals didn't really elevate the film at all. I was looking at the clock during this movie going oh my god when will this end lol. Because it truly was just that boring. It didn't really seem like they cared much about this movie during filming. I mean I can't blame them if they didn't care about it, it's crap lol. 2/10 for slither.
Not the best, but definitely in the top 10 list of my mind. What really made me enjoy this movie is that it didn't have too much gore, it didn't have too much jokes, it had the right amount of horror - it was perfect! I don't exactly like horror comedies when they are called horror comedies when pretty much there just comedies, but this was ACTUALLY both! Finally, after all these years, there has been another proper horror comedy! I do not enjoy comedies that are called horror comedies - they're stupid. However, this was awesome! I wish horror comedies were more like this!! My top 3 horror comedy movies is Dead Alive, Slither, and The Lost Boys! But that doesn't matter - however, Slither is my second favorite horror comedy, so that's something! It also has the right amount of gore - not too little, not too much. I quite liked Dead Alive which was very gory, but Slither is definitely better in my opinion. 8/10
