I seem to be on a roll with parasitic alien themed movies. Tonight's wormy adventure is
Slither.
"The worms are in their brains!"
The Gist
Grant Grant becomes infected with an alien parasite and undergoes a hideous transformation. As he goes about infecting others, a torrent of parasitic slugs is unleashed on the townspeople, turning them into shambling zombies.
Memorable Moments
 |
If only Grant had seen The Blob, he'd know not to go poking
squishy things in a meteorite with a stick. |
 |
| Alien procreation. |
 |
| Grant is not feeling well. |
 |
| She's so hungry. |
 |
| Coming apart at the seams. |
 |
| Slug explosion. |
 |
| Not something you want to find in the bathtub. |
 |
| Bad infestation. |
 |
| The infected. |
 |
| "Girl, you're every woman in the world to me..." |
Thoughts
This would make a fine double feature with Night of the Creeps. Both films are highly enjoyable homages to horror movies, and while dealing with similar subject matter, each takes a different approach. Of the two, this one was much more suspenseful, it grossed me out more, and left me feeling a little squirmy. All in all, it was another fun movie to watch.
