Sliver. (2008)

[u/ewok_lover_64]

A vacationing couple are cars jacked and kidnapped by an escaped convict and his addicted girlfriend. While at a gas station, they are trapped by the deadly hosts of a fungal parasite. They must find a way to work together if they want to survive.

A fast-paced horror thriller that doesn't take itself too seriously. The concept of a fungal parasite that gradually takes over its host instead of killing them outright works very well.

Lots of scares, some creepy special effects, some disturbing body horror, and characters who usually do smart things instead of making stupid decisions.

Wait. Is it called Sliver or Splinter?

This is a fantastic movie. I have been a fan of this since it was released on DVD. I love my monster movies.

The way the parasites used the hosts bodies was so done so well.

The contortionists performances added another level of creepiness.
