Slither 2 (2025) – Official Trailer
The cult-classic horror-comedy Slither is back with its long-awaited sequel, Slither 2 (2025), promising to bring even more grotesque thrills, dark humor, and spine-chilling scares. Directed by James Gunn, the mastermind behind the original, this sequel dives deeper into the grotesque alien invasion with a fresh twist and plenty of surprises.
Trailer Overview
The trailer begins with a serene small-town setting, eerily quiet except for the sound of cicadas. A voiceover from a returning character, Kylie Strutemyer (Tania Saulnier), warns, “We thought it was over. We were wrong.”
Suddenly, grotesque alien slugs burst from the ground, wreaking havoc as they infect unsuspecting townsfolk. The visuals are chaotic and horrifying:
- Swarms of alien slugs crawling through dark sewers.
- Infected humans transforming into monstrous, grotesque hybrids.
- Explosions tearing through buildings as survivors fight to contain the invasion.
The trailer introduces Jason Ritter as Dr. Ryan Mills, a determined scientist trying to uncover the origin of the new outbreak, and Anya Taylor-Joy as Samantha West, a resilient local trying to protect her family. Michael Rooker reprises his role in a surprising twist, returning as a mysterious figure with a dark connection to the alien menace.
As the townspeople band together, the stakes rise with hints of a larger threat: the alien species evolving, spreading, and potentially targeting cities across the globe. The trailer crescendos with a desperate battle involving flame throwers, improvised weapons, and a shocking reveal of a massive alien entity towering above the chaos.
