Yes Nathan Fillion is in it, but it is directed by the guy who wrote Dawn '04, James Gunn.

The Thing and 12 Monkeys shipped from Amazon today, but they didn't ship Slither. Go figure. Must be cause it's the only one I don't already have on DVD, didn't see in the theater, and REALLY WANT TO SEE NOW!!!!

My copy has moved to the "shipping soon" stage on Amazon.

just got it at lunch from BB................37 bucks!!!!! Ouch!!!

I don't even go into BB any more for that very reason. I can get the same thing at Target or Amazon for like 19. Best Buy can suck it.

Next time go to customer service and ask them to price match it with Target. I just got it $10 cheaper for $27.99

According to Amazon, my Slither copy shipped yesterday. Hope to get it soon

know what you mean, I'm reading these threads, comteplating what HD DVD movies to pick up while they're cheap or on sale because they're new releases, and I don't have a HD player yet either.

Which item did you get to be the $1 filler on buy.com. I have looked numerous times and everything I get to fill for a dollar charges me around $5 shipping,

Slither was fun!

Think The Blob/Invasion of the Body Snatchers/Day of the Triffids, add lots of gore, more scares and some laughs.

I'm a huge fan of Fred Dekkers Night of the Creeps, and this movie in no way ripped it off. Slither feels fresh, the acting is great, likable characters, and the delivery top notch.

The HDDVD PQ is crisp & clear. Lots of depth throughout. Even the dark scenes in the woods look fantastic. Michael Rooker and the slugs pop off the screen (is this really a good thing - yuck)! The blood and guts really catch your eye in this movie. The audio was decent. The surrounds got a workout with some good jump scenes. I loved it.

I hope this flick gets more support on dvd than it did in the theater. What a disgrace!

I just cant find the $1 item. Once you add the 2 items to your cart the free shipping over $25 takes care of the $5 shipping charge. Can you point me to a $1 item? Seems like Buy.com has marked almost all their movies to 29.88 just to piss me off. (The ones that were 30+ anyway..Still lots of 19.94 ones)

The $1.00 item I purchased is now OOS.

My copy is in the mail from my friends at Amazon. This is a blind buy for me. I hope I like it (I do love this kind of stuff) but if I dont, it's my own fault :o
Blood and gore in HD! bring it on! :eek:

my preordered copy from Amazon shipped on the 23rd and it scheduled to arrive tomorrow via their 2 day delivery. :(

my order for Corpse Bride which I ordered very late in the day on the 23rd is scheduled to be delivered today via the same 2 day delivery.

so I have to wait one more day before I get to see this.

Got my copy of Slither today! Amazon shipped it on the 23rd, got here today a day earlier than their October 26th estimation.

Great work!!!!!

***waiting anxiously outside for mail man***

Man this movies sucked so bad!! I like alot of movies but this one is I would not waste my money on.

Just watched this. I liked the movie and thought the transfer was excellent.

Just finished it. Great campy horror fun. I liked it alot. PQ was very good. Some of the outdoor scenes at beginning had a 3d effect, they were very crisp and clear. The DD+ was very good as well.

Great movie and a great transfer. Yet another winner for HD DVD!

ive watched it 3 times since yesterday good movie and good pq.

ive watched it 3 times since yesterday good movie and good pq.

Wow...3 times!! I've seen it twice now...once at the theater and now once at home on HD-DVD. The most I have ever watched a movie in a 24 hour period is The Shawshank Redemption. Watched it twice in a 24 hour period.

Mike

We are watching Slither in a few minutes as part of our Halloween marathon... Hope it is good... Or atleast not terrible! :D

Finally got to see it last night. GREAT creature flick! I loved it! The PQ is very good (seen better). Sharp sense of humor, no "MTV" style editing, no obnoxious horny teenagers, fantastic creature effects and makeup (though some of the CGI looks a little lame). Just great fun! and now added to my top 20 list of fav's :D

man I must be on earth 2

I just finished watching this, what a riot. When the old guy says "Man that looks like something that fell off my dick during the war" I about lost it. What a funny movie.

LMAO at that line too. I thought the film was fun but the PQ could have been better. Slither had B movie written all over it.

This movie clearly falls into the campy horror category like Dead Alive, Society, etc. It was fun and an homage, full of references to horror films/characters of the past. It was not meant as a scary, creepy mood horror film like The Thing or Alien.

The extras are fantastic too, although I wish they were in HD. Nathan Fillion is a trip. Very funny stuff.

I ordered yesterday as a blind buy. I typically love movies like this. Took advantage of the Google Checkout special.

I just watched this last night, and I really just want to second the majority opinion. This is a great movie and a great disc. The pq is fine, nothing spectacular, but nothing bad. Good for the relatively small budget movie it is. And especially impressive considering it's on a 15/9 disc. The only thing that could have made this better on a 30/9 would be having all the extras on the hd side (only a commentary on the hd side, the rest of the extras are on the sd side).

As for the movie itself: incredibly fun! Firmly in the horror comedy genre with Shaun of the Dead, Dead Alive, and Evil Dead. And I have to agree with Chud's review in that the comedy comes from the wonderful characters. I wholeheartedly recommend this movie. It is worth at least a rental to anyone with a strong stomach.

i loved the line
"You ever seen anything like this?" he asks. "Me neither, and I watch Animal Planet all the time.

I wish I could find this at a decent price :(

Nice my 3 fave movies (Fun Horror section), Shaun is Universal so i hope they'll do it on hd dvd..

I forgot to mention, make sure you watch (or fast-forward) through the end credits for a terrific little denouement.

Also, one of my favorite lines goes something like, "She packs a box lunch."

We've been saving this one all week to watch tomorrow night. I can't wait since this will be the first HD-DVD that is of a film we haven't seen before and we love cheesy horror flicks!

Enjoy, this is definitely a cheesy horror flick. I enjoyed it for what its worth. The PQ is not bad, not the best, but not bad. :)

This was a waste of time. PQ wasn't good. Movie is CHEESE. Some people love this kind of stuff tho. If you like 'B' movies then this could be for you.

I LOVED this movie. It's probably the best creature feature I've ever seen. And Nathan Fillion was perfect as the lead. The PQ, while solid, was soft through out. It was about what I expected, but definitely nothing special. A LOT of fun though.

I enjoyed it. Watched it this week on the SD side and had little complaint.

Great movie. Reminds me a lot of Tremors.

Another vote of love for this movie, even though I'm on regular dvd. Great fun all around.

I liked it when

the guy in the forest gets whacked. Man that was "side splittin" funny

I watched this tonight and I'm glad I just rented it. I didn't think the pq was that good either.

This was a blind buy for me. I really enjoyed it!

I rented this last week and was very pleasantly surprised. Loved it! It also looked great. A very solid Tier 1 HD transfer IMO. I'll be buying a copy as soon as I find a cheap deal on the combo.

I am a big fan of horror movies and reluctantly chose this title when the other titles I wanted from VE were suddenly no longer available.

I didn't watch it for two weeks thinking it wouldn't be that good. Well if you are into the genre this movie is a lot of fun to watch. PQ is pretty darn good and it is nice to have a 16:9 screen filled up like this movie did.

Some of the dialog was very funny and I think the comparisons to Tremors are accurate. Many of these end of the world types of flicks go way overboard with the acting whereas the characters in this movie have a sense of humor about what is happening to them. There is a lot of gore, but not gore for its own sake. You don't see someone devouring another person just so they can show blood and guts. It all seems to have a purpose. If you disagree then you haven't seen some of the really bad horror movies I have seen.

I think it was the sherrif who described a female character as a hard core bitch and when he says it, it is appropriate and funny. There is also some good dialog spoken by a very swolen lady. A real surprise was the song that played as the credits rolled. I was not expecting to hear THAT four letter word in a song.

All in all I think this movie is good fun for those who have a sense of humor.

Much better than I expected. PQ is quite good and the movie is really good for the genre that it's in.
