Slugs

1988 · 89 min

A gleefully gross creature feature that mixes small-town panic with slimy, over-the-top deaths and a straight-faced B-movie charm.

Tagline: They ooze. They slime. They kill.
Overview: 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.
