I have always had my doubts on the upcoming horror Slither due to its made-for-television special effects. However, I do have to admire how gross the film looks; especially in the latest trailer from Universal Pictures.
Slither Trailer
Don't get me wrong, I am doing all I can to like Slither thanks to the starring role of Nathan Fillion but the film looks like it is trying more to disgussed us than thrill or scare us. Fortunately the film is also running under the comedy genre so at least we know the laughs are intentional.
Slither is an edgy blend of heart-stopping terror, wry humor and surprising humanity from genre-bending screenwriter James Gunn, whose Dawn of the Dead became one of 2004's most surprising hits.
The sleepy town of Wheelsy could be any small town in America – somewhat
quaint and gentle, peopled with friendly folks who mind their own business.
But just beneath the surface charm, something unnamed and evil has arrived...
and is growing. No one seems to notice as telephone poles become clogged
with missing pet flyers, or when one of the town's richest citizens, Grant
Grant (Michael Rooker), begins to act strangely. But when farmers' livestock
turn up horribly mutilated and a young women goes missing, Sheriff Bill
Pardy (Nathan Fillion) and his team, aided by Grant's wife Starla (Elizabeth
Banks), uncover the dark force laying siege to their town... and come face-to-face
with an older-than-time organism intent on absorbing and devouring all life
on Earth.
