Slither

Slither is a quintessential horror-comedy, and its emotional landscape reflects this blend. The dominant emotions are Disgust and Disturbing, driven by the film's emphasis on grotesque body horror, parasitic transformations, and the slimy, slithering alien creatures. Complementing this is a significant amount of Humor and Joy, as the movie deliberately uses dark comedy, absurd situations, and witty dialogue to lighten the horror and entertain the audience. Fear and Anxiety are also prominent, stemming from the escalating alien invasion threat and the constant danger to the characters, even if often played for laughs. Surprise comes from unexpected creature reveals and gross-out moments, while Anticipation builds as the invasion progresses and the characters face increasingly bizarre challenges.
