Okay, i thought this movie was okay, but sub-par, nontheless. However, this movie is downright disgusting, and that's coming from a guy who watches Ultra-Gory and Violent Horror Movies (28 Weeks Later, Final Destination, The Descent, The Saw Series, etc.) This is classified as a gross-out movie for a good reason. Also, the sheriff guy cusses a LOT. There is kind of a sex scene, but its more like alien sex 0_o

What Parents Need to Know
About Slither
Parents need to know that this film features graphic gross-out horror and comedy and violence against animals (a cow, deer, dogs, and cats appear as bloody corpses). Grant becomes increasingly gory and bloody, and his body changes with extreme makeup and prosthetics (eventually, he's expanded so much that he fills a room, absorbing other bodies into his own, including one that shows his naked bottom as he sinks into the fleshy mass). The slugs jump into people's mouths, the people turn into flesh-eating zombies (some of these eating images are very gross). Characters shoot guns and stab at the monster. Characters smoke cigarettes and drink in a bar and a party, and Grant drinks once at home.

If you can stand gross-out horror mixed with comedy, this is the movie for you! It's hilarious and creepy, which is a fun mix. There's lots of gross stuff so if your kids can't handle that, don't let them see it. Language isn't so bad. The mayor has a potty mouth which is pretty funny at times. Mostly just the f-word though.
