To think that all of this is based on a novel (by Shaun Hutson) and not some real life event, as other bad horror movies would have audiences believe.

Its favouring of visceral revulsion over dramatic tension may deter general audiences, but for fans of the ludicrous and the gross, Slugs has much to offer.

Rated: 3/5

Like a stuffed crust pizza, the film gets cheesier the further into it you get.

Yes it's cheesy, yes the acting is bad, but it's gory and lotsa fun. That's what it's all about right. Check it out

Slugs is a cheesy creature gore fest horror film and the writing is weak that felt like a comedy and the cast are so wooded.

Fans of the 1976 film Squirm will notice more than a few passing similarities between Jeff Lieberman's slimy cult classic and this late 80s copycat. Instead of electrified killer worms terrorizing a rural Georgia town, Slugs focuses on-you guessed it-mutated carnivorous slugs gnawing their way through the suburbs. And while the gore effects are satisfyingly disgusting, the often incongruous musical choices, choppy editing, and schizophrenic dialogue really turn up the camp level to 11. Definitely drive-in double feature material.
