I've just downloaded the trailers for a couple of new movies from Daves Trailer Page.

The first I've been keeping an eye on for a while. James Gunn's Slither is just the kind of cheesy looking horror film I get excited about. It appears to pay homage to various classic horror pictures (Cronenberg's Shivers being an obvious one) and bears more than a passing resemblance to the great Night of the Creeps. Plus, it's got Nathan Fillion and Michael Rooker in it.

The second, I'd kind of written off. I enjoyed the original Underworld more than I perhaps should have. I expected it to be a stinky, dreadful pile of lycanthrope droppings, but it actually surprised me by being a reasonably entertaining little film. When I heard they were making a sequel (and that they were using the now tedious "it was always intended as part of a trilogy" line) I felt certain that it would suck harder than Kate Beckinsale's character in the first film (she's a vampire, geddit?). I'm genuinely amazed that the trailer looks pretty good. Better than that, it's now on my must see list (even if it does look a little Van Helsing).

If you've got bandwidth to spare, I highly recommend having a look at these two. If not, you really should check Slither out, at least.
