Slugs
Slugs: muerte viscosa
People are dying mysteriously and gruesomely, and nobody has a clue what the cause is. Only health worker Mike Brady has a possible solution, but his theory of killer slugs is laughed at by the authorities. Only when the body count begins to rise and a slug expert from England begins snooping around does it begin to look like Mike had the right idea after all.
Why it matters
A grimy, goo-soaked creature feature that delivers genuine practical effects terror through the unlikely menace of killer slugs.
- Practical effects by KNB Studios bring slimy, grotesque slug attacks to vivid, tactile life—this is ’80s creature FX at its grimiest.
- A throwback to ’50s and ’70s eco-horror, blending small-town paranoia with nature’s slow, viscous revenge.
- Michael Garfield’s earnest lead anchors the escalating dread as authorities dismiss his warnings, amplifying that classic isolation vibe.
- Perfect for fans of low-budget creature features who dig practical gore and an underrated, underseen slice of late-’80s horror ecology panic.
