Writer-director James Gunn's horror-comedy cult classic SLITHER with Nathan Fillion, Elizabeth Banks, Tania Saulnier, Gregg Henry, and Michael Rooker just turned 14 years old. Heaven help us. And to mark the occasion, Gunn took to Instagram to share some killer never-before-seen pics.
He writes:
14 years ago today my directorial debut Slither opened. It was not a hit (to say the least), but because of the great reviews & that so many of you folks loved it, it was the start of a great career for me. Just as importantly, I met many wonderful people making the film, who have remained close friends to this day. Here are some photos from that time – including some never-before-seen.

Rated R for strong brutal violence, pervasive language, some drug content and sexuality/nudity, SLITHER centers on
The sleepy town of Wheelsy could be any small town in America — somewhat quaint and gentle, peopled with friendly folks who mind their own business. But just beneath the surface charm, something unnamed and evil has arrived…and is growing. Intent on devouring all life on Earth, this dark and slimy entity is infecting anyone in its path. Now it's up to the local sheriff, Bill Pardy, and his team to stop the spread of rampant devastation – and shocking mutilation – before it's too late.
The film sports an 86% approval rating over on Rotten Tomatoes with a Critics Consensus that reads: "A slimy, B-movie homage oozing with affection for low-budget horror films, Slither is creepy and funny — if you've got the stomach for it." Fair enough! Go ahead and buy it on Blu-ray right over HERE.
