Mixed opinions...but yet, some of us still find Phantasm boring and akin to kids horror. For me it was a nice blend of atmospheric horror and nice characterisation...especially The Tall Man.
Moving on to a more modern example...this movie was hailed as a throwback to the cheesy black humor horror of the 70s and the 80s...it was filled with gore to the brim but had its share of campy humor in large doses. If it ended up as a good movie experience, then why do the haters bash Slither? Bring it on!!!

Slither is great. It's the freshest spin on campy horror-comedy since I-don't-know-when. The effects were awesome, the gore plentiful, and it had that squeamish factor we love so much from bug movies.
I blind-bought this, which means it had a big rep. to keep, and I had nothing bad to say about it at all.

Loved every second of Slither. Nathan Fillion is one of the most talented "up-and-coming" actors out there today...this was my first exposure to his work and I've been a fan ever since. Not to mention the cool 80's horror plot, the awesome gore and all the little references to classic horror flicks...great movie.

Things have pretty much slowed down around these parts, so I decided to **bump** this thread back. It holds so much potential for critical analysis and appreciation that, it should get a second shot.
So...judging by the above reactions, there isnt much wrong with Slither. I agree too, to an extent...although I thought Michael Rooker's part was a bit stretched and overcooked. The humor was spot-on though, and some of the sequences were outlandishly entertaining. Righto...umm...many of us has seen this movie, and some of us became lifelong fans of it...but there are others who see the flaws in it, beyond its cheesiness...and dont regard it too highly. So, movie bashers, why dont you like Tremors? Bring it on!!:cool:

Tremors is great! I remember seeing it at the drive-ins.
What would have been really scary is if the underground creature tried to steal their music. Then Kevin Bacon would have something to really be pissed off about. Dancing would ensue.
