Slither

Horror has a new face.

Directed by James Gunn

Produced by Strike Entertainment, Slither Productions

200696 min6.5 / 10

A gleefully grotesque sci-fi horror-comedy that revels in body horror and small-town invasion tropes while maintaining a winking, irreverent tone.

A small town is taken over by an alien plague, turning residents into zombies and all forms of mutant monsters.
