Before he took us to deep space, James Gunn welcomed us into the small town of Wheelsy, where nothing very unusual seemed to happen... until the day sinister alien slugs set their sights on the locals. The 2006 horror comedy Slither will be released on a Collector's Edition Blu-ray from Scream Factory on August 1st, and the full list of special features include a new audio commentary with Gunn and co-stars Nathan Fillion and Michael Rooker.
Press Release: From James Gunn, co-writer and director of Guardians of the Galaxy and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, comes Slither, the deliciously demented story of an unnamed evil wreaking havoc on a small town.

But just beneath the surface charm, something unnamed and evil has arrived...and is growing. Intent on devouring all life on Earth, this dark and slimy entity is infecting anyone in its path. Now it's up to the local sheriff, Bill Pardy (Nathan Fillion, Firefly,Castle), and his team to stop the spread of rampant devastation – and shocking mutilation – before it's too late.
