Seems the town of Ashton has a dilemma...their plumbing is gummed up and emitting foul, stank odors...perhaps you're thinking they're got too much red meat in their diet and saddled with those lousy low-flow toilets...and you might be right, but that's not the cause of their woes. No, their trouble stems from an amassing army of hideous, ginormous, voracious, mutated, carnivorous, slimy, sewer dwelling, gastropod mollusks, otherwise known as slugs...Slugs: The Movie (1987) aka Slugs, muerte viscosa, co-written and directed by Juan Piquer Simón (Monster Island, The Pod People), features Michael Garfield (The Warriors), Santiago Álvarez (Star Knight), Philip MacHale ("Madigan Men"), Alicia Moro (Golden Balls), Emilio Linder (Amazons in the Temple of Gold), Concha Cuetos ("Onassis: The Richest Man in the World"), and John Battaglia (Mutant Man).

The film begins the killing quickly, as a couple in a boat get kakked, followed quickly by a bum, into two, seemingly unrelated sequences (actually, the entire movie is filled with seemingly unrelated sequences). Anyway, the police find the bum, or what's left of him, along with a whole mess of slime trails. Seems reports are coming into both Mike Brady (Garfield), the city health inspector, and Don Palmer (MacHale), a sanitation and sewer engineer (i.e. sewer worker) about clogged drains and foul smells. Soon large slugs begin turning up in gardens, toilets, sinks, basements, and what have you...the nasty, little things are everywhere, and they're hungry...for meat, of the human kind. Quite a few people get nibbled up before anyone realizes what's going on, and even then people are reluctant to believe.

"Slugs" is based upon the Shaun Hutson novel, but it's not a terribly literate script version in itself. Nonetheless, the movie is meant to be merely an entertainment focused upon the plight of a certain randy group of characters who discover that they are sitting on top of an old toxic waste dump where some special, er, nasty creatures await. As preposterous as all this sounds, there are many involving moments due to the interlocking structure of these characters and their individual stories. I enjoyed much of the film, but I wouldn't by any means call it essential. However, if you've found yourself watching re-runs of "Matlock" in the evenings, then this film might be the tonic you need in order to start discovering other titles that are awaiting your viewing pleasure.
The Image DVD release is good; there is a trailer, and many previews at the beginning, and a relatively good transfer. But, again, I have to nitpick a little, as an audio commentary would have been nice to hear in this case (I realize it's probably asking too much to want for a 'making of' featurette to go along with it). At least this is widescreen and overall a nice DVD. But if this doesn't look like your cup of tea, then don't bother. "Slugs" is rated R--there is a fairly graphic scene of intercourse (about thirty seconds), some very brief nudity, "God-damn" is said quite harshly about nine or ten times, some shocking gore scenes, and some fairly intense horrific moments--and, as bad as all of that sounds, it is a fairly tame movie otherwise. I wanted to like it even more than I did. C-

I like the movie! I seen the movie before when i was a kid. This movie kind of disgust me because of those ugly, slimy, stinky, creatures! I hope i don't have any of those nasty things in my house! Because otherwise we would have to evacuate and call the exterminator! Oh my god! I don't even wanna think about that! Hell I don't even wanna dream about it! Boy i think they might do a remake to this movie soon! It might be more grosser than before! Well i guest this movie is very scary and fun to watch only if you like watching nasty creatures like this film that are so full of slimy insects! Not to mention deadly!

Every country has its own self-delusional hack when it comes to genre films: In Italy, it's Bruno Mattei ("Night of the Zombies"). In the US, it's the once-great Tobe Hooper ("Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2", "Spontaneous Combustion", "The Mangler"). And in Spain, it's Juan Piquer Simon, the type of director who you can almost see watching the daily playback of his films, smiling with Ed Woodsian delight over how WELL things are going.
"Slugs" is probably one of Piquer Simon's better films, and that's only if it's viewed for laughs. Really, carnivorous slugs making progress through a small town, eating up everyone in their path? Gimme a break. This tripe is directed with an obviously straight face, but neither the actors nor script are up to the challenge, so most of it comes across as unintentionally comic (thank God). You get the Health Inspector who's aware of the problem but whom no one believes, his Sewer Cleaning(?) buddy who's turned into chum, a Dorky Science Professor (complete with a snooty English accent) who just happens to be an expert on slugs, and the Requisite Horny Teens having what looks like the dullest Halloween party in history. Put these--along with countless other stock characters--in a blender, and you have a campy treat (but only for genre fans who are used to this sort of bad-good rubbish).
But what about the slugs? Yes, they are nasty critters who, despite their slowness, can somehow occupy entire rooms within minutes if so motivated (note the funny sex scene), and only seem to come around to knock off annoyingly unlikable characters (which I applaud).
