Slither is a 2006 horror/comedy film written and directed by [[James Gunn]]. It is a [[Homage]] to gory [[B-Movie]] horror films. While not a massive commercial success, the film is something of a [[Cult Classic]].
 
The plot is essentially, an [[Alien Invasion]] film mixed with a [[Zombie Apocalypse]]. An alien parasite lands in rural America, [[Puppeteer Parasite|infecting and taking control]] of local man [[Repetitive Name|Grant Grant]]. The alien impregnates a local woman, who gives birth (by [[Body Horror|having them eat her from the inside out]]) to thousands of "slugs", that share the original alien's mind. The slugs then enter a person's body [[Orifice Invasion|through the mouth]], killing them. The aliens then [[Our Zombies Are Different|take control of the corpse]]. It's then up to the local police sheriff (played by [[Nathan Fillion]], of [[Firefly]] fame), Grant's wife (Elizabeth Banks), the foul-mouthed Mayor, and a local teen to stop the alien before it can infect every living thing on the planet.

* [[Action Survivor]]: Kylie. Over the course of the film, she manages to: grab one of the alien worms as it enters her mouth and pull it out again; burn said worm to death with a curling iron; escape a massive horde of worms by jumping off the roof of her house; take down a couple of worm-zombies (including {{spoiler|a zombified ''deer''}}) more or less by herself; and, ultimately, {{spoiler|survive ''a flying couch to the face'' [[Made of Iron|with nothing worse than a broken arm]]}}. Not bad for a kid with fake nails and a penchant for [[Fan Service|taking long baths]].
