Zombie Asking if They Have Car Insurance
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.

Howdy Mark, I forgot to mention in our conversation earlier. Slither is allmost a modern day version of this 1986 cult classic. "Night of the Creeps" Image hosting by Photobucket

Wow - they gave you a refund? What did you do differently?

Uhm... can't you have guns in the US?
I think that the only good reason to have guns is to be able to defend yourself against those pesters at the cinemas that won't stop talking during the movie, or make weird noises with their popcorn, or simply aren't dead quiet! (The ones that speak on the phone during the movie are a breed apart, I think their genitalia should be removed in order to put an end to their gene pool)
So go get a M16 and be trigger happy.
It would be 2 minutes of anger building,5 seconds of noise and 3 hours of calm.
(Uhm... like male orgasm)
