What’s the dumbest movie monster? It’s a surprisingly competitive field. You have the carrot-shaped alien from It Conquered the World!, for instance, but if we stick with more real-world creatures there are still going to be some serious contenders. You might go with The Attack of the Giant Leeches, or perhaps The Killer Shrews. Both of these probably pale in comparison with Night of the Lepus and its horde of giant bunnies. But we’d have to give serious consideration to the central beastie in Slugs, or Slugs, muerte viscosa in its original name.
This is a killer slug movie. I’ve watched it and I still can’t believe that that is a sentence I have actually typed. This is a movie where the monster that will be plaguing people is a massive horde of meat-eating giant slugs. When I call them “giant slugs,” I’m not talking about something the size of a pit bull or even the size of a chihuahua. These are maybe footlong hot dog sized. That’s plenty big for a slug, of course, but we’re not talking about things that can tip over a car. Even more entertaining is the fact that this isn’t a made-for-cinema story. It’s actually based on a real book that was produced by a real publisher.
