Slither (Widescreen Edition)
Soon the creature within Grant grows. His gorgeous wife Starla (Elizabeth Banks) notices something different as if Grant was a whole new person and seems to enjoy it. That is until she finds out the truth about him. It’s not just about the alien possession and the disgusting closet, but Grant also mated with another woman, Brenda (Brenda James). Then Grant becomes hostile toward Starla. Luckily the police, lead by Bill Pardy (Nathan Fillion), was there to save her. Now it’s up to them to hunt Grant down and the alien that possessed him.
I remember when Nathan Fillion came to FX Convention 2008. He made a grand entrance as fans cheered for him in the autograph line and said, “This is the place for cool people.” Nathan was a real nice guy and my sister was thrilled to have met him. Most of the fans there were fans of Firefly and Serenity, which was based on Firefly. To be honest, I never liked Firefly, but Nathan Fillion had other great roles like Bill Pardy from Slither and the Caleb from season 7 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Jack the Mayor (Gregg Henry) also joins in the search and he is hilarious. Jack believes that Grant’s condition is Lyme disease. “You touch some deer feces and then you eat a sandwich without washing your hands, you got your Lyme disease.” It’s also funny when Jack complains that nobody brought any Mr. Pibb.
Starla and the police follow the trail of dead animals to a farm where Grant has become a more dangerous drooling squid worm beast. Then they follow him through the forest to an old shack where Brenda was kept. Brenda’s constant hunger has made her huge. I remember back when this movie was new and the web site included a feature about feeding Brenda slabs of meat lying around. Remember that?
Disaster strikes when Brenda explodes and releases a whole bunch of baby alien worms. At first I thought they were like leeches. Then it’s revealed that these worms don’t bite, they only possess people by getting into their mouths. So they’re not as threatening as leeches or zombies. Then again, they can also spit acid.
The worms run loose all over town and look for more victims. One of them even sneaks into a house, where Kylie (Tania Saulnier), a teenage girl, is taking a bath. Dude, what is it with monsters peeping on young ladies taking bubble baths? Although Kylie escapes the worm attack, the rest of her family wasn’t so lucky.
The possessed victims are also all psychically connected to Grant for he is the source carrier. It becomes even creepier when some of the victims merge together with Grant as Bill and Starla confront him.
This was a good film, despite its disgusting points. The humor and excitement do make up for it though.
is another spoof of the Scream trilogy, but this one goes in another direction. The basic story is same, which is about a masked killer on the loose terrorizing high school teens. Not only does this movie include tidbits from I Know What You Did Last Summer, but also tidbits from other films like There’s Something About Mary, American Pie, Teaching Mrs. Tingle, Grease, and others.
has an interesting take on the legend of the tooth fairy. She was once a nice old lady named Matilda Dixon. She exchanges a gold coin for a lost baby tooth. The children all loved her. One day, Matilda’s house caught fire and her face was hideously scarred. The townspeople hanged Matilda, but she vows revenge. Once anyone loses their last baby tooth, Matilda seeks them out and kills them in the night because she can’t stand light. Spooky, huh? Almost like a Grimm fairytale.
stars Nicholas Brendan and Jaime Presley as college students, among a group of others, who travel to an island on a scavenger hunt. While gathering men’s and women’s underpants all over, one team finds a piñata that was possessed by evil spirits and decides to open it. What are the odds, right?
#13) Selene (Kate Beckinsale) from Underworld: She’s a kick butt death dealer vampire. Unlike many of the others listed here, Selene is on the side of good. She’s not really seductive because her main focus is to take out lycons. You’ve got to admit though. Selene is a hottie.
