In October of 2007, a small group of paranormal investigators spent the wee hours of the morning taking EVP’s, pictures, temperature, readings, emf readings, other electronic and human sources for sensing spirits and residual paranormal activity. Due to uncertainties of rights and publishing the names of persons and site will remain unwritten.
"No matter where you go, there you are"
Starring: Elizabeth Banks, Nathan Fillion, Tania Saulnier, Gregg Henry Story: Slither's setting, the town of Wheelsy , is peaceful, sleepy and quaint. In other words, it's primed for an alien invasion, which is exactly what it gets. Bottom Line: This movie has a dreadful tag line ("Whatever you do... Don't Scream), but it's great to see our girl Elizabeth Banks (The 40 Year Old Virgin) back onscreen. Man is she hot.
   
In Slither, a very strange egg-like object shoots down from space and lands in the woods, and is eventually found by Grant Grant (Michael Rooker). The egg opens up and shoots him with something, and eventually begins changing Grant into an odd person with a love for raw meats. He eventually visits a trashy woman named Brenda (Brenda James) who hits on him a lot for what she thinks is going to be a hot and steamy affair. To her shock, some nasty giant tentacle-like things emerge from his body and attach to her stomach, obviously pumping her full of something. This sets up our precious top kill.
Grant eventually evolves into an unspeakably ugly creature, which naturally has his wife (Elizabeth Banks) a little concerned and leads her to call the local police, who decide to catch him and find out what the hell is going on. On the chase for him, Sheriff Bill Pardy (Nathan Fillion), Mayor Jack MacReady (Gregg Henry), and others are lead to an old barn where they find none other than Brenda.
This is where it gets really rough. It seems that since the little encounter between Grant and Brenda, she’s grown into a massive ball of a person — think Violet Beauregarde from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory if Wonka actually turned out to be Satan. Not only is Brenda impossibly large, but she’s still alive, and she’s really pissed off, and really hungry. She begs them to throw her a dead animal to eat right before the party starts. Out of nowhere, her skin begins to rip and tear around her, and in the blink of an eye, she blows up, revealing the army of little slugs that Grant inserted into her. These slugs go on to take over any human they can and turn them into zombie-like beings.
The reason this death last in our little list is simple: suffering. Many of the alien kills featured here are hardcore and terrible, but they’re also executed in quick fashion. With this death, this woman suffers through the insertion of these hell-slugs, all the unseen growing between that point and when they find her again, and her ultimate fate: popping under the pressure of a million creatures trying to get out. This is basically the Alien kill a thousands times over, and that’s one f’d up way to go, folks!
