It's not outrageous to suggest that James Gunn has become one of the world's most prominent directors — especially when it comes to the film industry's comic book corner. His work with Marvel Studios on the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy was a minor miracle, transforming lower-tier comic characters into household names thanks to a stellar fusion of sincere heart and self-aware humor.
Gunn approached his directorial debut with a clear purpose. Slither was inspired by B-movies of the 1970s and 1980s, primarily body horror maestro David Cronenberg's Shivers and The Brood. Gunn also cited celebrated horror manga artist Junji Ito's Uzumaki as another influence.
James Gunn's 'Slither' Mocks and Mimics the Legacy of Body Horror When it comes to body horror, a cinematic notion where all bets are off, Gunn doesn't flinch. What starts small, with the lead alien shooting a sharp, wiggling barb into Grant's chest, evolves in consistent measures.
Margaret realizes the threat and tears the slug out of her mouth before burning it to death with a nearby curling iron, but the separation leaves blood gushing from her mouth. Her little sisters and parents aren't so lucky . Faster than Margaret can blink, slugs infest every inch of her home's walls and floors. She flees onto the roof and into the family car, but so many cover the car that their sheer mass blacks out the windows.
