Wheelsy is a small town where not much happens and everyone minds his own business. No one notices when evil slips in quietly but, when people find mutilated livestock and a woman goes missing, Sheriff Bill Pardy (Nathan Fillion) discovers an alien organism that threatens to devour all life on Earth. Also starting Elizabeth Banks and Michael Rookery. Written and directed by James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy.).
"there'd"? WTH autocorrect. I remembered this as being funny.

Some similarities between this and the plot of Gunn's recent Peacemaker.

I really love this movie, sad I missed it in theatres when it came out. You can definitely see the seeds for a lot of Gunn's future successes in this. Nathan Fillion is just great it in, and it really seems like all the actors understood the assignment.
One of the gems of the horror comedy genre.

It's also on some level an unofficial successor to Night of the Creeps.

One of those B-movies that absolutely embraces what it is and never takes the foot off the gas. You are either laughing or screaming, often in the same scene. A classic.

It's often said that a director just makes the same movie again and again throughout their career, and I'm glad that this is James Gunn's movie.
