Dear god. I just got back from what could be the worst movie I have ever seen. The only redemtion was seeing our friend Nathan Fillion, with some sub-par catch phraises. I was hoping his acting career would expand from all the praise we give him, but I fear he is deemed as 'the actor in a failed show and a C- horror' If anyone else here has seen slither, please comment.

It was nowhere near that bad. I'll be honest I never would have gone to see it if it weren't for Nathan - not my kind of movie. But for what it was - a gory horror comedy - it held up reasonably well. The effects were servicable, the cast reasonably talented, and characters and plot devices were all introduced before they became important so nothing came out of left field. Did the movie do anything particullarly new? No, but it rehashed well enough to be worth $6.25 and 2 hours time.

Will I go see it again? No, like I said not my kind of movie but if this is the worst you've seen then I envy you and your lack of cinematic pain. I've had to endure much worse even without Joel and the 'bots to cushion the system.

I rather liked it, actually. I giggled through most of it - and not because I thought it was bad, but because I found it funny. Aside from Nathan, I loved Elizabeth Banks, and Michael Rooker cracked me up: "Meat" = Funny! And of course, Gregg Henry's over the top was, well, over the top...

SLiTHER also got pretty good reviews. I think it got a higher score on Rotten Tomatoes than Serenity did.

Went and saw it with hubby and we both cracked up!

It was fun. It was a comedy and great fun, like the old horror comedies were.

I'd go see it again and I'll definitely buy it on DVD.

Entertainment Weekly recommended it on their MUST LIST this week. And it got excellent reviews. And deserved them.

Our Cap'n did a fine job. All in all, great movie experience. Worth my money.

If that was the worst movie you've ever seen, you've lived a charmed life indeed. I thought it delivered exactly what it promised. And it was indeed funny. Gross in some parts, to be sure, but a classic off beat sci fi / horror none the less. Don't know what you had in mind going into the movie, but I'm certain you could do MUCH worse than Slither.

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

I'd give Slither just a middling review myself. It was funny in parts, but so cliched as to be not funny when it was trying so hard to be in other places. Nathan was good, but his part was not that well-written in my opinion, but Gregg Henry stole the show everytime he was on screen.

I am really sorry that you didn't like it. My boys and I saw it and we thought it the funniest damn movie we have seen in a long time! We wanted to see it again, but the nearest movie theater to us is over an hour away. We will definately be buying the DVD!

Nathan doesn't know it yet, but I am his one true love! Is that weird?

I'm afraid I found Slither to be okay at best. As for Nathan, I remember when Sean Connery was a 'second rate actor in those third rate Bond films'. He's just paying his dues right now.

I saw it with some buddies of mine and we all thought it was great . I haven't laughed that hard in a theater in a long time! At first I was amazed that no one shushd us, but, then I noticed that everyone else was cracking up too!

I would have to give it an 8.5 out of 10, because any movie that finds a way to make such a cliched genre like alien-zombie-things-killing-everything-that-moves new and entertaining is a good one in my book (it didn't hurt that Nathan was in it either).

You're welcome on my boat. God ain't.
