Damn this film to hell!
The book is actually a pretty good read, quite deep (for Shaun Hutson lol)

McDonald's used to serve PIZZA? Why does this bother me more than any of the gross-out horror in this movie?
Reply to this
McDonald's sold pizza? Oh wow, that's the most disgusting thing I've ever heard.

Actually, I think I counted 3 times...
but I may be wrong...

i just relised thats the joke. yeah, im a dumbass.

Dude, you forgot Night of the Lepus, where GIANT RABBITS attack a town [yes killed with electricity] and with a shocker of DeForest Kelley cast as a Doctor.

"Is there anything in this movie that's not gross?"
Nope.

"Go to the store and buy salt."
Your reviews are awesome, and I think this is one of my favorites. I love the Caddyshack reference at the end.

They look like leeches to me!
Reply to this
Yeah, they are leaches. Not only the way they look, but the way they crawled on everyone in the movie. Are leaches one with the slugs, I don't know.
Reply to this
Leeches are related to earthworms, but not slugs.
If you or anyone you know have any leech related quandaries, don't hesitate to ask me. (No, really.)
Reply to this
This is one of those films that are so bad that they're actually good and entertaining.
Reply to this
my guess is this slugs dont die or get hurt from salt and had a deleted scene showing that, but of course i was pulling that out of my ass
Reply to this
beer works on slugs too.
Reply to this
the "Luther the Geek" clip in your opening credits was nice, i love that fucking movie
Reply to this
You forgot killer birds and, if I'm not mistaken, there is such a movie that features killer leaches as well.
Reply to this
aha great review : )
I guess they couldn't spray salt everywhere as they could accidentally salt the soil & no plant life could be grown , but they could have atleast explained that theory if that's their reasoning
Reply to this
I love this review, though I have a very dark secret to admit...
(I love Young Einstein)
Though it is true, Australia's censorship laws get a bit silly.
Reply to this
I always get this movie mixed up with a movie called "Leeches," & another called "Squirm," & to a much lesser degree, "Night of the Creeps." I really like NotC though.
Reply to this
This movie seems like it should have been directed by someone like David Cronenberg.

Great review, and I must say, I think I love you voice most of all. Not sure why, but it adds to the experience of hearing you tear into these films.
I'm surprised you didn't try to reference the MST3K episode "Horror at Party Beach", since the monsters in that flick were killed by sodium. Mike and the robots even sang a goofy song about it (though they just repeated the word sodium over and over again
Reply to this
I can tell that the guy screaming in the floor is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen, but not scariest because how ridiculous it is.
Reply to this
the slug with teeth kinda reminded me of the Afro worm in Labyrinth
Reply to this
Dude go look up "The Killer Shrews" and "Giant Gila monster" XD They are both really bad, and funny enough the giant monster was blown up XD
But trust me, the costumes are fake as hell and there are just so many things wrong with those films.
Reply to this
Also Worms.
Reply to this
well that just ruined my breakfast appetite
Reply to this
In Australia things get banned almost at random because the group of people who were picked to classify the movie were in a bad day or whatever. Far more violent movies have been classified, Slugs was just unlucky.
Reply to this
Odd.
The slugs I've seen are brown....
I know I sound a bit stupid.
Reply to this
I remember seeing this film on Svengoolie when I was younger and it scared the crap out of me. nowadays i see it and it doesn't scare me, but it makes my stomach churn, something about getting killed by slugs man....
Reply to this
Isn´t the scientist (not proposing salt) Vortex from The Guild?
Reply to this
I read a good chunk of the book.
It's not much better than the movie.
The reason given for the slugs being so dangerous is that they were locked in a cellar with some corpses and gained a taste for human flesh while multiplying exponentially.
What's more, the slugs are even more deadly in the book in that their SLIME TRAILS are lethal, as shown when a young girl goes into seizures and died because she tasted some of the slime.
The slugs with teeth were originally slugs whos tongues mutated into a barbed spike.
The book is actually more gruesome that this movie and I've not even finished with it yet.
Frankly, I've not intention of reading the rest of it because it's as big a shlock fest as this movie and I now have Roadside picnic and Metro 2033 to read.
I also find it fucking sad that the best conversion of book to film I've seen is Roadside picnic to Stalker, and the two had next to nothing to do with one another bar the fictional location.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a very close second, but Mr Depp's scenery chewing comes off second best to Tarkovsky's masterpiece. Sure, it will leave you scratching your head if you don't know the background (I.E. you've never read Roadside Picnic or played S.T.A.L.K.E.R.) but It's a film that feels so vibrant and alive that it stopped me from shoving my hunting knife into my clavical notch the moment I realised what this film was an adaptation of.

Great review and there is something I have to say.
Thank you! Thank you for seeing this common occurance in these movies. Why is it that you have to either blow up (Like in most shark movies) or electify the creature in order to kill it?! What's with that? There are very few rare examples of this not happening, they burn or gas bomb the giant ants in Them or drive a drill into a shark's mouth in Red Waters.
Reply to this
Yikes! This movie is NASTY! Not Boxer's Omen nasty or Centipede Horror nasty but still, pretty damned nasty!
Reply to this
Thankx so much for this! I havent been this thrilled by a blog post for quite some time! You've got it, whatever that means in blogging. Anyway, You are certainly somebody that has something to say that people need to hear. Keep up the good work. Keep on inspiring the people!

Slugs might be kinda scary... Were I a tomato.
Reply to this
Dude, you made a joke about Australia banning the movie and didn't make a joke about Australia already being overrun with a thousand species of animal that would destroy those slugs?
Reply to this
The most vivid thing I remember the most from this movie was a slug wrestling with a poor hamster. And since owning a hammie at the time, it felt very disturbing.

It is strange, michael korsfor although this dour woman, the mere “assistant clerk of accounting operations”,michael kors wedges would appear to have no exalted title nor position, michael kors swimweareveryone in your office is deferential to her. Even your hard-charging, take-not-the-prisoners boss,michael kors store Bob Gummidge, speaks to her in the most polite and civil tongue, occasionally even flirting with her(!), this despite the fact that she looks like the dyspeptic French bulldog, squat and jowly,michael kors clothing with the half-lidded, vaguely mammalian eyes.

I saw this movie when I was a kid and it's one of those movies that stuck with me because I had fun watching it but even as a kid I always wondered why they didn't just use salt. The next day I saw a slug and I poured salt on it, problem solved.
