Slither

Local businessman Grant Grant--successful, albeit oafish--is one of the few leaders of Wheelsy's pack. With beautiful young wife Starla, a large house and fat bank account, Grant truly relishes his "big fish-small pond" role in the town. Other than the fact that the passionate love he feels for his woman goes completely unrequited, he's a man content. But things are about to change for Grant.

I didn't go into this movie expecting much and you shouldn't either. This movie relishes the fact that it's a B-movie heavy on gore and tongue-in-cheek humor. I was reminded why I enjoy Nathan Fillion so much as an actor in movies like these. From playing the Captain in Firefly/Serenity to his performance as the Police Chief in Slither, Fillion consistently provides great laughs.

This movie can be very disgusting at points and you should realize that going into it. From bloody corpses of everything from dogs to cows to people as well as gruesome deaths, Slither isn't shy with the violence and gore. Well deserving the R-rating.

If you enjoy gory alien invasion movies that are fun and funny at the same time, Slither is a great choice. Just don't expect to see this one up for any Oscars.
