About
If you want a fast, comic-horror alien invasion with plenty of slime and mayhem, Slither delivers; Not for you if body horror grosses you out or if you need deep suspense—try The Blob or Dawn of the Dead instead.
Pros: fun alien-invasion premise; gleefully gross body horror; memorable cast | Cons: not for gorephobes; humor may miss; character depth feels light
