Well, there's good news and there's bad news.
The bad news is, "Slither" is a comedy-horror with some really creepy alien slugs that do horrible things to the characters.
The good news is, "Slither" is a critically acclaimed comedy-horror with enjoyably creepy alien slugs that do horrible things to the characters, just like you hope they will if you're into this kind of thing.
And it stars Nathan Fillion. (Hell, he had to do something between Firefly and Castle, right?)
Horror fans will be delighted by the woman who is impregnated with the slimy little critters and kept in a dark barn until she's the size of your living room, assuming your living room is quite spacious.
Critics liked it: Rotten Tomatoes gave it a rating of 86%. Movie goers stayed away in droves, as they say, and the film only made back $12.8 million of its $15 million budget.
Weird how that happens sometimes . . .

Both of these trailers for a movie that's sometimes funny and frequently gross are . . . well, sometimes funny and frequently gross. 
But they're sure entertaining as hell!

That wasn't nearly enough warning. I was having lunch, here.

I thought this was actually quite a good movie...and there were quite a few chuckles thrown in.
Good acting, decent plot, excellent SFX.
Just a fun movie on a dark night.
