Most underrated comedy of its whole kind
by Skragg2004-10-07

"I usually either don't like, or hate, action comedies - though Slither isn't one entirely. But, as far as it IS an action one, it's the best one ever made, and (to me) about the most underrated comedy of ANY category. Most comedies or dramas about cops and robbers (or about criminals, period) promise to be about the CHARACTERS more than anything, but this one keeps that promise completely.

💡 Did You Know?

When James Caan walks by a paperback spinner rack, a paperback title "Ruined Virgin" can be seen. It appears that this is not a real book. This book has only been seen in the movie The Swinger (1966) with Ann Margaret. There is a scene where Ann Margaret dances with the book in hand and you can see the cover. Margaret also reads the cover aloud. It appears that the book was a prop in the movie from 1966 and later reused for Slither in 1973.
