Review of Slither (2006) by Joanna L — 05 May 2011

I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone who loves comedy and doesn't have a weak stomach. The plot never slows down, the characters are hilarious, the music is a perfect match with the atmosphere, and it feels like I was only in the theatre for about ten minutes.

One of the things that makes this movie great is that it's virtually drama-less. Not to say that drama is bad, but what I mean is that this movie plays like a real story. That is to say, if aliens ever took over a small redneck town, this is exactly how the people would react.

There's no scenes of "Leave me, save yourself!" and the usual "No, I won't leave without you!" response, with the typical climax music in the background. It's just people surrounded by bad stuff and trying to keep their heads.

I loved it and highly recommend it to anyone who loves movies like Shaun of the Dead or Dead Alive.
