James Gunn's Slither, arriving on Blu-ray from Universal, via Shout Factory, is terrific, fun drive-in fare. But it's perfectly acceptable to view it in a home theater setting.
I can't recall how many films have begun with the premise of a meteorite or whatever, falling to earth, and unleashing some alien life-form that places a small (usually southern) town in jeopardy.
This one rise above most that have tried that formula.
Universal has delivered a quality master for the Blu-ray, and all is well. Audio is DTS-HD MA 5.1, with a nice spread to it.
This is not the film with which to sip an '82 Petrus. Go for a nice local brew, sit back, and enjoy. Unless alien creatures have landed in your neighborhood, this one's a safe bet.
