SLUGS
THE STORY: Toxic waste causes common slugs to become carnivorous killing machines! The slugs first victim is the local town drunk, Bell. The sheriff and the local Health inspector, Mike Brady, discover his body when they go to evict him.
Mike and his wife Kim discover large slugs in their gardens. When one of the slugs bites Mike he takes it to their friend John Foley, a scientist. But the slugs reign of terror goes into full swing. Soon slugs are coming out of faucets and killing the townsfolk. Despite this no one believes Mike when he warns them that the mutated slugs are responsible for the deaths. Finally Mike, John and their friend Don, the county Sanitation Director concoct a pesticide that makes the slugs explode. Mike and Don track the the slugs to their lair in the sewer system and destroy them. Don is killed in the effort.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?:
1.) When Mike and the sheriff ride to Bell's house Mike's window is closed in one shot and open in the other. If you watch carefully you can see it.
2.) After discovering Bell's body, the sheriff theorizes that raccoons may have come out of the wilderness , broke into Bell's home and eaten him. Mike suggests that rats are more likely and the sheriff snorts that that no one believe that. Yeah, well, raccoons aren't famous for eating people either!
3.) When Kim points out the slugs in their garden Mike says "Jesus Christ! They're huge!" or something like that several times. But the shot of the slugs has nothing to reference their size by. when Mike does reach for one with a gardening tool its a normal sized slug! What the hell kind of slug did he think he saw?
4.) Mike is bitten by the slug he captures so he takes it to John, the scientist. When John asks him about it Mike doesn't tell him anything. But later on the slug slimes out of its cage and kills John's hamster. You'd think Mike would warn his friend that this slug is kinda dangerous!
5.) The sheriff in this movie is one of the dumbest movie sheriffs in moviedom. When the slugs kill someone they leave a lot of slime. Mike warns the sheriff and he doesn't believe it. In one day there's about three dead bodies and this guy can't accept that Mike may be right? That's a lot of slime!
6.) Don is the bravest guy I have seen in a flick! He drops a live wire in the sewer to kill the slugs while he and Mike are standing right there! Selective electricity I guess...
7.) While Mike is having no luck in convincing the sheriff and the mayor of the slug menace you'd think John might show up with the evidence that a slug ate his hamster!
NUDITY AND SEX: Bobby and Donna make the beast with two backs.Bobby's a jackass though...he'd rather be drinking!
HUH?: The scene with Frank Phillips looks like his voice is dubbed in.
These slugs are sneaky! When Donna and Bobby are in bed about a million of them sneak in completely covering the floor! Of course there are no slugs there when the sheriff arrives. (You'd think Donna would have crushed at least one when they were eating her)
Kim is either brave or stupid...and I'm betting on stupid! She's terrified of the slugs but she stays in the house to wait for Mike even when slugs are coming out of the faucet!
Dave eats a slug and the next day his explodes because its full of worms. The sheriff blames the restaurant he was eating in for serving worms. What kind of [unwrite]ing worms has the sheriff been seeing? That's a little too weird to be blaming the cook!
THE TALLY: The credits say this movie was based on the book by Shaun Hutson. Haha! I love it! I just hope the book is better than the movie! This movie has a lot of problems! But it has the right mixture of goofiness, pseudo-science and bad acting to be full of the devil's cheese!
