Nathan Fillion in the Horror Campfest Slither
After a great night, I decided to take it easy and take in a movie. I made it to the theater in Wilder, KY for a matinee of Slither. I went to the AMC on Friday to see it and had a miserable time with talking brats, so much that I got a refund and a free pass to another movie. Today was much better.
The movie is wonderful, a great campy mix of Alien, Dawn of the Dead, and Sordid Lives. A meteorite lands in a small, rural South Carolina town and it's cargo infects a local who sets forth a chain of events, resulting in slithering slugs that go stalking and infecting the rest of redneckville. The actors are great with Nathan Fillion from Serenity as the town sheriff at his comical best. The scene where the original infected local in full mutated form has his southern belle wife saying that she'll stand by him because "marriage is a sacred bond" is priceless. The movie is shamelessly campy and makes no apology for it. The special effects are very graphic and top notch.
Did I enjoy the movie? Yes, I loved it.
Would I see it again? Twice already, but not opposed to a third.
Buy the DVD? I think so.
