June 20, 2009"Meat!" "You need both of them things in you to get all wormy." I wanna be part of a fuck stack... Enjoyable even after being amped up and the anticipation.

May 31, 2009Good clean family fun. A mix of zombie movie, alien movie, and Brian Yuzna monster effects movie. And no good horror movie is complete without an evil deer attack.

If the horror scenes are formulaic, the audience will eat up the many jokey interludes the way the zombies feast on possum. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
At last: the mutant alien redneck zombie movie the world has been waiting for. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
For those who enjoy entertaining gross-out horror flicks, Slither satisfies. The squeamish should probably keep their distance. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

A serviceably fun, if slightly too polished, homage to creature features-gone-by. full review
