History YMMV / Slither

** Given the fact that both films center around alien slugs that turn people into {{Parasite Zombie}}s by entering their mouths, ''Slither'' works as a distant remake of ''Film/NightOfTheCreeps''.

* SpiritualSuccessor: The movie can be seen as an adaptation of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4''. Both are about a parasite taking control of a small town farm land and both have the main leader have a attraction for the main girl.

** This is a film where Nathan Fillion fights a BodyHorror-happy alien parasite. In April 2021, the ''Master Chief Collection'' port of ''VideoGame/Halo3ODST'' (which features Fillion as playable character Gunnery Sergeant Buck) had its Firefight mode updated to include the Flood, meaning Fillion's back at it 15 years later.

* CultClassic: Even before James Gunn made it big with ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'', many people have come to agree the film is criminally underrated.

** Hey, Creator/MichaelRooker just got impaled by [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy a flying arrow]] in a Creator/JamesGunn film! Not to mention that its [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2 sequel]] features an AssimilationPlot... with Rooker as [[spoiler: one of the ''good'' guys.]]

** During the middle third of the film, Grant strongly resembles [[Videogame/Fallout3 a newly designed Centaur]].

** Kylie trying to get to her little sisters' room to save them, only to hear screams and open the door to see them infected.

** This wouldn't be the [[Series/TheWalkingDead last]] [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyZombies time]] Creator/MichaelRooker found himself in the thick of a ZombieApocalypse.

* HilariousInHindsight: Hey, Creator/MichaelRooker just got impaled by [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy a flying arrow]]! And in a James Gunn film, no less. Not to mention that its [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2 sequel]] features an AssimilationPlot... with Rooker as [[spoiler: one of the ''good'' guys.]]

** This wouldn't be the [[Film/TheSuicideSquad last James Gunn movie]] featuring an alien monster with [[ParasiteZombie parasite zombies]]. Bonus points for reuniting Michael Rooker, Creator/NathanFillion and [[ProductPlacement Mr. Pibb]].

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: The way the alien possessing Grant starts to genuinely care about Starla even falling in love with her despite wanting to take over the world. He stops himself from infecting her while she was in the shower showing. Later, he apologizes to her through one of the zombies explaining that he never knew love before he came to Earth and was afraid of losing her. When Bill tells her to shoot him, the alien could easily use a tentacle to stop Starla from doing it, but instead of snarling or attacking he only exchanges a final sad look at her showing that he truly cares about her in the end.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: The Parasite though still going along with the plan to have everyone taken over starts to genuinely care about Starla even falling in love with her. He also stops himself from infecting her while she was in the shower showing just how much he cares about her. He apologises to her in one of the people he took over explaining that he never knew love before he came to Earth and was afraid of losing her. When Bill tells her to shoot the tank, the parasite though has a chance to stop Stella from doing it does not just giving her a sad look instead of snarling or attacking her showing that he truly cares about her in the end.

* {{Heartwarming Moments}}:
** The alien parasite infects everyone else except Starla who he starts to fall in love with and while she was in the shower he starts going toward her to infect her only stopping himself at the last second when he realizes that's not what she wants.
** Though he attacks her after she finds out the truth about him he also stops himself again when the police came around even though he could have force her to come with hims.
** In one of the slag controlled people he starts to apologize to her about what he did to did her and starts explaining before being intruppted by one of the few non slug controlled people.
** After bringing Starla back to the house in the aftermath of crashing the car that she was in he puts her in a very nice dress instead of just leaving her naked and though he was not happy that she sided with Bill he puts pictures up of his host and her on the walls, even putting music on as well and lets her go when she apologizes to him and lets her get close to him and even though she stabs him he doesn't try to infect her only slapping her with his tentacle instead.
** When she picks the gun up to shoot the tank that Bill with his quick thinking used it to fill him up with air he does not try to do anything to her even he could have done anything to stop her by either infecting or kill her he lets her do it showing that the alien parasite does truly love and care about Starla.
