Review of Slugs (1988) by Luke B — 23 Sep 2008
Hilarious in every conceivable bad way. Starting off with some poorly dubbed over lines and even less convincing acting. Then we are treated to the title Slugs...The Movie. Just so you don't get confused going in thinking this may be the novel.
It is definitely the film version. We are soon in a small town where people demand their questions answered but refuse to answer anybody else's. Every body seems kind of pissed to be living here, especially the sheriff who has a go at everyone.
He'll shout at you for doing your job or for not doing your job, he really doesn't give a fuck. Nice to see that some of the best takes the film could get of certain lines were of the actors blowing them.
Stammering and stuttering their way through a lifeless script. Some nice FX of exploding eyeballs, the film however cannot make up for the fact that slugs are just not threatening. People try and chop off their own hands, things explode and the dialogue is so outrageous you'll be laughing all the way to the upbeat music of the last shot.
Huzzah.
