Well after years of seeing this cover at rental places I finally gave this its ninety minutes. Was it what I expected?
Basically, yes. I mean, come on. It's called Slugs and it's about mutant killer slugs. So you know you're in for some gore and a hell of a lot of cheese. Sharp cheddar, to be exact. That doesn't mean that it sucked though because I did enjoy it.
For those who haven't seen it, you get the typical storyline about buried toxic waste that mutates a normally harmless animal, causing it to become homocidal. In this case the toxic waste has made slugs that can actually bite and have the teeth to prove it. In addition their slime trails are caustic and to top it off, they have parasitic worms inside their bodies, that, if accidentally ingested, will make their escape in typical bloody fashion ala Alien.
It's up to Mike Brady (no relation to Brady Bunch dad), the town health inspector, to put an end to the slimy terrors. When the town officials turn a blind eye to Mike's stories of man eating gastropods, he takes it upon himself to eliminate the little bastards himself with an explosive chemical some scientist friend of his created.
As stated above, this is a very silly no brain movie. So many plot holes that I'd almost expect this to come from Turkey and star Cuneyt Arkin as Mike. But it's as american as the mullethead teenagers that star in it.
I'll give this the thumbs up for the sake of some funny but gruesome gore scenes and the fact that even though it's an utterly stupid film, it's entertaining. And that's the point of movies anyways.
