Slither (2006)

Synopsis: An alien organism falls into Earth and installs itself inside a man. From there he begins infecting other humans. He also has an enormous appetite for meat. That initial host's wife, plus some policemen and the town's mayor start investigating the problem and then set off to exterminate those malignant creatures.

Appraisal: There isn't a single molecule of invention in this film, all of it being recycled from earlier horror movies. The more explicit sources are Night of the Living Dead (entire sequences) and Shivers (one scene, as I remember). It is well acted, though.

Rating: 22
