The film is set in a small town in South Carolina that becomes invaded by a malevolent alien parasite. Slither was a box office failure, but received generally positive reviews from critics and has since become a cult film.

Will there be a sequel to Slither?

Will there be a sequel? No plans at the moment but if it did, it would most likely be direct-to-DVD.

Is Slither a remake of Night of the Creeps?

'Slither' Remarkably, the best of the three films. Definitely not a remake of Night of the Creeps, but it does have some parallels: It starts in outer space, then moves to an alien meteorite scene, has a similarly jokey tone and, of course, there are the slugs in the brain.
