Slither (2006 film)

Slither is a 2006 science fiction black comedy horror film written and directed by James Gunn in his directorial debut. Produced by Paul Brooks and Eric Newman, the film stars Nathan Fillion, Elizabeth Banks, Tania Saulnier, Gregg Henry, and Michael Rooker. The film is set in a small town in South Carolina that becomes invaded by a malevolent alien parasite.
Slither was theatrically released in the United States on March 31, 2006, by Universal Pictures. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, who deemed it as "funny" and "creepy", while praising its premise, B-movie conventions, Gunn's direction, script and the performances of the cast, and has since become a cult film. However, it was a box office failure, grossing only $12 million worldwide against a $15 million budget.
