Critics' reviews

"What makes it work is how nimbly it slaloms from yucks to yuks"

Manohla Dargis: The New York Times
"There are better movies opening this weekend. There are better movies opening every weekend. But 'Slither' has a competence to it (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
"'Slither' may not be groundbreaking but it is a rarity: a horror-comedy that does both its genre-parents proud (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

James Dyer: Empire
"Goofy and gross, 'Slither' revisits the old alien invasion plot with comedic violence that might bother sensitive viewers (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"

Cynthia Fuchs: Common Sense Media
"Slither begins briskly, gradually accelerates and eventually achieves a breakneck momentum that makes the wild ride even more exhilarating."

Joe Leydon: Variety
"An almost entirely derivative but thoroughly enjoyable horror film (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Rob Mackie: The Guardian
"If your idea of fun involves zombies, monstrous physical transformations and alien slugs bent on world domination, look no further than James Gunn's gleeful homage to all things gross and horrible"
