Visions Home Video is delighted to celebrate 20 years since James Gunn’s cult horror-comedy, Slither, first creeped into our cinemas! As part of the anniversary celebrations, Slither had a great theatrical re-release from 10th April. Following on from this this, Visions Home Video have re released Slither on stunning special limited edition Steelbooks in stunning 4K HDR (released June 1st 2026)
Slither stars Nathan Fillion (Serenity, Firefly), Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games Saga) and Michael Rooker (Guardians of the Galaxy Trilogy). This film was also the directorial debut of James Gunn, for his work on the Guardians of the Galaxy Trilogy, The Suicide Squad, Superman (2025) and is now the Co-Chairman and CEO of DC Studios.
I delved into not must the film itself but also the many special features that are included on the disc in the video below and SPOILERS..I loved this movie! Visions Home Video have done a great job in this re release and I cant wait to see what they have in store for the future.
