I'm looking forward to this movie. I thought that James Gunns' remake of Dawn of the Dead was done pretty well (aside from Mekhi Phifers' character). I would see it for that alone. Helps though that Nathan is in it. 
Also, whenever I see the previews, it reminds me of Night of the Creeps.

OK...saw SLITHER on Saturday. Smallish crowd, but it was in the afternoon. Capt'n was darn good. Movie was decent. It definatly had its moments. Some funny, some flat out gruesome/cool, in the horror movie sense.
Select to view spoiler:
As good as some parts were, I kinda felt like it was missing something. Not sure what. Nathan gets stabbed in the gut yet once again and of course survives. He might be setting a record for on screen abdominal injuries that don't kill him. ( Shindig, Out of Gas, SERENITY )
I can see the cult appeal for those fans of horror, as Slither does play up on some well known themes. The guy getting whipped/sliced right in half was nicely done..well, if you get my meaning. I wasn't too keen on the slugs though, or the whole alien's M.O. They ONLY go through the mouth of the ir victims, when pretty much any cavity into the body would do. Grant got speared right in the torso. At the risk of being crude, the young girl in the bath tub certainly could have been 'infected' via other ways than her mouth. ANYWAY.... Slither was a fun 'summer' time movie, which opened in Spring. I wonder how it'll do and I can't help wonder again if SERENITY would have done better had it opened in April, and not Sept.
People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss
