History Fridge / Slither

* Survival of the fittest is also a topic that is tied with the Darwinism ques of the movie. The townsfolk did not know about the invasion, since it occurred without warning, but for those who were able to see it unfold firsthand and survive, allowed them to evolve, tying into the point above.

** Even worse, what if it still remembers its time as Grant, and adapt and evolve?

!! FridgeBrilliance:

* The only ones that survive are the ones willing to learn and adapt, in other words evolve, like Starla was teaching earlier in the film.

!! FridgeHorror:

** Ignoring all the dead alien slugs in the bodies and remains of the big guy.

* The alien controlling Grant doesn't feed Brenda with her own baby boy because through his knowledge, it obtained the information that while killing animals won't go unnoticed, a baby disappearing would provoke a manhunt which may severely interfere with the early stages of the invasion.

** I got so much new respect for ''Slither'' when I realized that the main characters are all subversions of their traditional roles in horror. Including the villain. ''Especially'' the villain.
*** Nathan Fillion once noted he loved Pardy for his very human, "What the fuck?" reaction early on, rather than instantly donning the boots of asskicking.
*** Of note is the Parasite's first proper actions; it goes about its usual, building a nest, gathering the meat, then hears sounds, goes upstairs, and finds someone, who proceeds to show it capital-L Love (in both the emotional and physical ways), and from how it is throughout the film towards Starla, this is implied to be the ''only time in its assumedly long life'' that anything has shown it anything outside of fear and hate, to the point in the aforementioned scene it starts crying.
** The reason Grant/The Long One decides to not kill Brenda's baby child and feed her with him is probably because through Grant's knowledge, the alien obtained the information that while killing pets and farm animals doesn't go unnoticed, if a child went missing there would be a full-blown manhunt which may severely interfere with the early stages of the invasion, a risk he cannot take.
* FridgeHorror: Just the ending and how the three survivors are going to explain a town full of dead bodies when it's unlikely there's any proof of alien slugs once the Grantmonster is killed.
** First, there's the fact that, if there are no signs of slugs, then it won't be clear exactly ''how'' the three survivors managed to ''wipe out an entire town,'' especially with some of the dead being armed police officers (and with no obvious signs of violence on the bodies). In addition, there might be ''some'' signs that the alien slugs were in the brains of the victims before they died (''especially'' since Kylie's family were suffering seizures as the aliens entered their brain). And some of the corpses will look as if they were partially devoured, IMO, I don't know if the authorities will believe the alien story, but they won't believe that three people ''managed to kill off an entire town.''
** I'm pretty positive the authorities will notice the remains of Grantmonster and all the horrendously mutated bodies he was fusing himself with, thus making the survivors' story more believable.

* The fact that the parasite wasn't evil per se, just doing what its' natural life cycle is.
