Super came out of nowhere in 2010 and the buzz around the movie grew stronger with each passing clip because this is a film that, wore what it was very proudly on its sleeves, for all to see. While both of these movies serve as a good introduction of what we can expect it's Gunn's latest work that will perhaps be the most well known to the target audience of the upcoming game as well as the best example of what we can look forward to. The film is a strong middle ground when looking at James Gunn's movie work in comparison to what we can expect from Lollipop Chainsaw as while the story is about as serious as something like this can be it's very tongue-in-cheek throughout and openly embraces the sillier side of these kind of movies. Taking inspiration from many classic B horror movies to create something that was both a charming original take on the genre as well as a self-parody in the best possible way. The premise goes as follows: after an alien life form lands it takes control of a man and impregnates a woman who gives "birth" to thousands of horrible slug monsters which kill people by entering forcefully through their mouth and taking over the body. Slither, a film that was one part alien invasion and another part zombie movie with a big heap of fun thrown into the mix, was James Gunn's directorial debut and although the film wasn't exactly a commercial success it quickly achieved cult icon status in the horror world.
