James Gunn is now a major figure in film and television, known for his emotionally resonant, character-focused stories and distinctive comedic style, especially when adapting comic books. Given his early work with the famously over-the-top Troma Entertainment, it’s no surprise his films often have horror elements. Interestingly, despite this influence, he’s only directed one film that’s purely horror.
James Gunn’s debut film, *Slither*, came out in 2006 and was a wild, slimy adventure inspired by classic monster movies like *The Blob* and *The Thing*. It’s been available on various streaming platforms over time, but recently disappeared before becoming available again on Peacock in early October.
James Gunn is currently a hot topic in the entertainment world with both *Superman* being popular on HBO Max and *Peacemaker* nearing its season finale. Now’s a great time to check out the movie that first showcased his skills as a director.
Now that the movie *Slither* is on Peacock, you’ll need to watch it soon, as it won’t be available for long.
Slither Streaming for a Limited Time
Peacock began streaming *Slither* on October 1st, but it was always planned as a temporary addition. The movie arrived with the announcement that it would soon be removed from the platform.
The movie *Slither* will be removed from Peacock at the end of October, meaning it will only be available to stream for one month. Although that’s disappointing for fans, October is the perfect time to watch it!
It’s become increasingly common for movies and shows to be available on streaming services for just a month. Streaming deals are getting more complex, causing content to move frequently between platforms. For example, Universal titles like *Jurassic Park* and *How to Train Your Dragon* often switch between services like Peacock and Netflix, sometimes for only a short period.
We still don’t know when or where you’ll be able to stream *Slither*. November streaming schedules haven’t been released yet, but when they are over the next few weeks, subscribers will find out if the movie will be available soon.
