James Gunn Returns to Horror

Have you ever seen Slither? No? Ok stop what you are doing right now. If you must, leave work. Head to a store that sells movies and announce loudly that you need a copy of Slither or you may well die. It's just that serious. You begin your new life after your screening has ended.

There was much rejoicing when one of our favorite horror film directors took on the Guardians of the Galaxy, and further rejoicing as he continues his strong of amazing success, and still, it is bittersweet as all of Horror misses his hysterical take on dark times. Last year, Gunn blessed us with the Belko Experiment. Now, it seems, we get our fondest holiday wishes...

Written by James' brother Brian and cousin Mark Gunn, James will produce the project in between writing the highly anticipated feature Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 and starting production.
