"Slugs", directed by the same man who brought the world the classic slasher flick "Pieces", as well as memorable MST3K fodder "The Pod People" falls somewhere in between both. Surprisingly gory and even a little sleazy, this movie definitely doesn't lack in entertainment value.
The age old tale of radiation mutating a species, in this case, slugs is the name of the game here. The film pulls no punches and slugs start eating the flesh off people from the get go, with TONS of blood sprays throughout. The acting is some of the worst I've seen in a while, especially the sheriff (and I've seen some TERRIBLE sheriffs), although the unintentionally brilliant and hilarious one liners more than make up for it. The scene in the restaurant is anticipated highly and is probably my favorite, as you know exactly what is going to happen at least 20 minutes before. It does not disappoint, and really, neither does much of the movie. The Halloween party sub plot though is utterly useless, especially the weak attempted rape, and detracts from the otherwise pretty linear plot.
"Slugs" is somewhat of a hidden gem, and anyone into extreme gore, anthropods, nudity, or a combination of all three will find it to be fun from start to finish.
