Entertaining 80s horror. Has some fun moments and some really bad acting by a few of the minor characters. 7 years 2 months ago -

One of the gooeyest horror schlock this side of The Boxer's Omen, Slugs will be admired by fans for its crazy gore effects. But let's not kid each other, while this flick is extremely fun to holler at - for the bad acting, the unmotivated conflicts, the characters' stupid decisions, the 80s fashions, even the terrible driving - it's often a big mess. Its mix of American and dubbed Spanish actors leads to some of the stupidest line readings, but also creates a world where certain characters are just never on location in Upstate New York where the action takes place. The music cues - oh my giddy aunt, the music! - appear to be pulled from free-to-use archives and change in tone with every scene (and don't really repeat). Early on, you do get the sense that this is a collage of vignettes - I almost wanted it to be new characters getting killed by flesh-eating garden slugs every scene, with no plot attached - so it's not just the music. It's the best kind of schlock in that it's fun to mock, but has real shocks (especially for the weak of heart... or stomach). But it's also not very good technically, except in the goo fx department. 1 year 7 months ago
