The early Slither reviews are out, and they’re even better then I expected them to be. To me, this film just looks like a LOT of fun… and not to mention its got Elizabeth Banks (Campea) in it too… which is enough to get me to just about any theater on the planet.
Here’s what some of the critics are saying in their early Slither reviews:
“A gleefully nasty and ingeniously twisted horror-comedy.”
Joe Leydon, VARIETY“So sue me, sometimes after a day of enjoying Belgian film-festival prizewinners, I like to relax with copious servings of horror-flick slime and a good visual joke involving squids, girls in bathtubs, and overhead cameras.”
Lisa Schwarzbaum, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY“A groovy gross-out with snorts, scares and sentiment, SLiTHER is thus far the must-see frightfully funny movie of the year.”
Staci Layne Wilson, HORROR.COM“It may not be sickly brilliant or twistedly clever, but it’s just plain fun. Slither is a good old fashioned gooey, slimy monster movie with a sense of humor.”
Fred Topel, ABOUT.COM
As of this moment, Slither is carrying an impressive 83% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I expect that number to get larger as more reviews come out. This one is the #1 priority for me on Friday. Look for my review on the weekend.
