''Sliver'' was not particularly well-received. It features some memorable erotic scenes, an interesting take on voyeurism and an impressive soundtrack (featuring UB40's chart-topping cover of [[ElvisPresley "Can't Help Fallin' in Love"]]). But the excuse plot for all that is poorly written and the acting leaves much to be desired. Reviews both then and now are mostly damning. The film got nominated for seven UsefulNotes/{{Golden Raspberry Award}}s, though it won none of them. On the other hand, the film was a modest box office hit. It earned an estimated 116 million dollars in the worldwide market. About 36 million of those dollars came from the United States market, where it was the 43rd most successful film of its year.

* JerkassHasAPont: Jack acts like a jerk and a creep throughout the film (and is eventually revealed to be the killer), but most of his warnings to Carly about Zeke turn out to be true.

* WallBangHer: It's more like "Column Bang Her", but it's how one of Zeke and Carly's sex scenes play out.
