Slither
In this blend of the B movie classic The Blob (1958), and some Romero's zombies film, a meteorite collides in a small town. Grant finds it, and is infected by a parasite worm, which installs in his brain and causes him a creepy transformation into a monster. Starla, his wife, and Bill, a policeman, will try to stop him and the plague of worms generated by the creature.

[A] pleasing B-level gore fest.

There's something winning about this grab bag of orally fixated invertebrates and mucus-covered Noids.

[A] delightfully disgusting comic horror film.

Zombies, aliens, comedy, gore, what more can you ask for?

Done with a knowing wink and a nod, Slither doesn't offer much in the way of scares, but makes up for it in laughs and decent banter and a number of well executed gross out moments.

Derivative, glib, throwaway, and thoroughly entertaining. A knowing genre movie aimed at fans of Tremors or Lake Placid.

A monstrously funny alien-invasion-zombie-horror-comedy.

An underappreciated gem that horror fans would appreciate.

I'm zombied out.

The problem with making a smart horror parody -- and James Gunn's Slither is a smart horror parody -- is that it's kind of like doing a virtuoso performance of 'My Way.' The skill of execution tends to be eclipsed by the tedium of the material.

Gross-out horror comedy is my least favorite genre, but this movie's so skillful I have to take my hat off to it.

Amiably retro in its icky shock value, this love story with an alien twist is often so funny it's scary.
