Critics Consensus

A slimy, B-movie homage oozing with affection for low-budget horror films, Slither is creepy and funny -- if you've got the stomach for it.

Slither is a visceral experience from the first, but as the creature grows, so does the film's daring.

Chicago Reader

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

Slither is over-the-top, gross, funny, bizarre and totally weird. In other words, it might be just what you're looking for this weekend.

Horror Movie Talk

It was obviously a love letter to the horror genre, as it imitates about a dozen other horror classics such as The Thing, Society, The Blob, Rats: Night of Terror, and Star War The Phantom Menace.

Rated: 7/10

Slither might be [James Gunn's] most blatant refusal of the action-movie trope[s].

Christopher Smith

Bangor Daily News (Maine)

As with so many zombie movies, table manners have no place here -- why should they when fresh intestines are on the menu? Gluttony, however, does bloom in Slither, and what it builds to is one savage little garden.

Rated: B

Fun body horror with a sci-fi twist. The gross-out factor is high.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Just rewatched this: looks like ~40% of viewers don’t vibe with splatter horror-comedy. I do. Gunn’s small-town creature feature is gleefully gross and genuinely funny—practical goop, razor-sharp gags, and Rooker/Fillion chewing through the mess. Slimy, snappy, and a blast.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

This late 2000’s sci-fi splatter bash, ripe with tons of horror references and genre nods, is just as hilarious as it is absolutely disgusting!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Um filme despretensioso. O roteiro é fraco, bem como os diálogos. Dai as atuações também ficam bem caricatas. A melhor cena é a da mulher gigante no celeiro. A maquiagem e efeitos práticos são bons até para os dias de hoje.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
