Slither: James Gunn’s splatter comedy comes to Blu-ray from Scream Factory Watching James Gunn’s Slither for the first time since its premiere in 2006, I found myself enjoying it much, much more. Initially, I felt the same way about the movie as I did Fred Dekker’s Night of the Creeps, which I always found to be simply an arch pastiche of its influences (complete with characters named Romero, Craven and Cronenberg) without any identity of its own (apologies to all the ardent NOTC fans out there).
