SLITHER

Theater: Movies Palace 6 Theaters, Elizabethtown, Kentucky

So I went to see a horror movie, hoping this would do for alien worms from outer space what Scream did to killers in masks ... unfortunately, it was low on wit.

Was it a bad horror movie? No. But not as tongue in cheek as I would have wanted. The recent Dawn of the Dead, with celebrity zombie sniping, I thought was great. This was ... not great. But have no fear, there is plenty of disgusting gore.

The story isn't that great, but it doesn't have to be. Alien pod impregnates man with worms, which impregnate woman who explodes giving birth to thousands of worms ... and anyone with a worm becomes a zombie/hive-mind person.

It stars the captain from Serenity, the receptionist from The Office, the father from Mallrats, and the bad guy from Payback ... how many obscure cast members can you get in one film?

My main disappointment was, while expecting a B-movie with funny parts, I got a REALLY B-movie with not enough funny parts ... what would Evil Dead 2 been without the comedy? Not good.

See it if - you want to see the first Serenity follow-on project for Nathan Fillion
Rent it if - you believe B-movies deserve your money at home as opposed to at the theater.
