I've seen this film several times, and I am not a die-hard horror/gore film fan. While the story is simple, it's a kind of innocence in the characters that makes this film quite interesting and fun. It's gory, funny, and even heartfelt at times. Because it's character driven, the actors are quite important, and they each do a fine job. The special effects are well-done and used wisely. And it is, in the end, a morality tale, which adds a bit of substance. This, combined with story and acting, elevates it to a grade above the average B movie. Every once in a while, someone creates a gem among the baubles, and this film is one of those. It reminds me of another quite quirky story, Eating Raoul. If you appreciate Slither, watch the story just mentioned. You will most probably appreciate that one as well.
