Slither

Donkey Kong Kill Screen4.0

I can't recall ever seeing a title and poster more at odds with the final product than SLITHER. Look at that poster. Are you expecting some type of 70s drama? Maybe a dust bowl era period piece? How about a screwball road movie featuring a shitload of "Rec-Vs" that is as odd (that paranoid Bingo game scene) as it is aimless?This is more MIDNIGHT RUN than DAYS OF HEAVEN.And don't get me started on the title!SLITHER is a film that should have a huge cult following. It's hilarious, packed to the brims with amazing 70s character actors and doesn't overstay its welcome as it slithers from one offbeat moment to the next.But SLITHER doesn't have a large cult following and it won't. It's both sad and deeply comforting to know this movie will never find an audience.It's WINNEBAGO MAN meets Looney Tunes. And that gives me an idea for a better title. This should have been called WINNEBAGO MEN.

Kinda film they could have only made in 70s. The absurd, wacky charm, aimless, carefree vibes, nothing important happens but its bizarreness is fun and there's some fun characters and gags. Pretty nice time.

Aimless but not pointless is the best way to describe this film that stars James Caan, in one of his most subdued role during the 1970’s. It also stars Peter Boyle, Alex Rocco, Sally Kellerman and Louise Lasser. The story of a car thief who gets out of jail, and accompanies his cellmate to his hometown, only for that cellmate to get killed and to get involved in a “treasure” hunt to recover embezzled money is the basic premise of this film. It also has a black RV chasing them throughout the whole film. This is the simplest way to explain the plot of this film. It doesn’t really have a beginning and the ending it’s bound to disappoint you as the whole film plays out like a series of random incidents happening to James Caan’s character. The cinematography is gorgeous thanks to Lazlo Kovacs and the vibe of this film is very unique. There’s no way that this film could have been made in any other decade but the 70’s. The poster is sure misleading and just like many others Letterboxd reviewers, I don’t get the title of the film. Watched via the Hollywood Suite 70’s cable channel
