I've always loved how the effects looked in this movie. Not only do they strike the good balance of cgi and practical when it counts, but they fully embrace how bloody gruesome and ridiculous they wanted to get with its scenes. My favourites will always be the fat woman and the bathtub scene when the girl finds her family turned, only to end on the visual of the slugs shadows blocking up the car window into darkness. Visually impressive and highly underlooked in my opinion.

[@JuanGarcia-gy8vl]

Dude, the practical effects were so well executed. Thank you for reminding me of this gem.

I never realised this wasn't a success. I saw it when it came out and me and my friends all thought it was great fun. I suppose in retrospect, I've barely heard it mentioned since.

[@JeanMarceaux]

[@backtoklondike]

Though you can still tell that this is the same guy who did GOTG. Even if the violence is way tone down, the GOTG still has some pretty grim stuff into within the realms of PG-13. Like the scene in vol 2 where they cut upon Abilisk and gore and guts fell out. But because it isn't red and the guts doesn't look that real, it get's away with PG-13. And the oddball sense of humor that sometimes puts you through uncomfortable terrortiy is also still there. I haven't seen The suicide squad yet but from the clips I've seen, it really seems like it's Gunn going back to his roots while still having the maturity he learned from working with GOTG.

[@c.walter7890]

I've been a fan of Slither since seeing it in the theater. It's a fantastic film. I also am a fan of Shaun of the Dead (but who isn't?), Black Sheep, Eight Legged Freaks, and Lake Placid. I also like Evolution which is unfairly maligned by pretty much everyone. There's a ton of really fun monster/creature features from the late 90's to the early 2010's which are woefully forgotten.

“No character is ever given a moral highground, but when they are” -Ryan Hollinger; 2021

[@Furiousa96]

This is one movie that got me into horror. Growing up, I was so scared of most horror movies I could not watch them. My friend actually screened movies for me and would tell me when the scary things would happen and also what they were if it was important to the plot so that I could look away and cover my ears if I wanted to. Getting older and a little braver helped, but I still looked away a lot. When I saw this movie with my siblings, I couldn't look away and the comedy kept my mood light enough that I never felt overwhelmed by the horror aspects. This movie as well as Shaun of the Dead helped me appreciate horror more. Granted Shaun of the Dead is very much more of a comedy than horror, but it cured my crippling fear of zombies.

never realized the perspective shift, but now that its put into words, it may be why I love the pacing and escalation of this movie! Also, another way he really humanizes his characters: he often writes small glimpses into the real tragedy of his characters; the fact that Grant Grant (and to some extent margaret) is fully aware of what is happening, but just can't help himself is REALLY unsettling. and also kinda more in line with real parasite induced behavioural changes, so kudos there. or the moment in super, where Frank just sits on the bed bawling his eyes out in self loathing. I also love that for the absurdity of that movie, the damage from violence is so very grounded, making Frank that much more of a terrible and tragic character; when he clobbers the line-cutter and the way the blood first trickles than flows; Chef's kiss. I would love an analysis on that one actually, bit of an undernoticed cult gem.
