It was on this day in the great nations of Canada, India, and the United States of America all the way back in the year 2006 when audiences were treated to the theatrical premiere of Slither.
Written and directed for the screen by James Gunn, the Horror/Thriller included such talent as Nathan Fillion, Elizabeth Banks, Michael Rooker, Don Thompson, Gregg Henry, Tania Saulnier, Xantha Radley, Dustin Milligan, and others.
According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:
"From the depths of the endless space, a flaming meteorite crashes into the dark woods of the sleepy town of Wheelsy, South Carolina. As the scorched rock reveals its silent content -- a baneful parasitic organism -- a subtle alien invasion commences, and the war's unlucky first victim is the town's local business, Grant. Little by little, as an internal change transforms Grant into an utterly hideous monstrosity, his wife, Starla, starts to feel that something's been eating at him the last few days. Now, before the unstoppable extraterrestrial attack, no one is safe, and to make matters worse, Grant's transformation is far from over yet. Who can stop the slithering army from outer space?"
A quick search of Google.com indicates that Slither was a box office failure despite positive praise from some critics.
