Absurd plot? Check. Absurd dialog? Check. Terrible American actors? Check. Terrible dubbing of Spanish actors pretending to be American? Check.
Slugs: The Movie(1988) is undoubtedly a Juan Piquer Simon film. Fans of the Spanish director will love this gory tale of angry slugs that (thanks to toxic waste) start attacking the citizens of a sleepy New England town. The gore effects are pretty outrageous and the script is ridiculous from start to finish, so we don’t hesitate to reccomend it. One word of caution though, don’t eat anything while watching it, you’ll thank us later.
Here’s some more from the director behind Pieces (1982). Slugs (1988), Cthulhu Mansion (aka Black Magic Mansion, 1990) and Endless Descent (aka The Rift, 1990).
The Spanish writer/director of our most recently reviewed film Pieces (1982) has several more wacky films to his credit. Here are The Fabulous Journey to the Center of the Earth (aka Where Time Began, 1976) and Mystery on Monster Island (1981).
Wow. I just finished watching Pieces (1982) for the first time. I wasn’t expecting much (it was directed by Juan Piquer Simon after all) imagine my delight to discover the sheer insanity of this Spanish-made horror flick. The movie is one WTF moment after another. The plot (such as it is) concerns a chainsaw wielding maniac dismembering co-eds, though that description doesn’t really do the film justice. To truly comprehend the level of insanity on display, I have three words for you… Linda. Day. George. Pieces is a bad movie must-see and I can’t recommend it enough. Here’s the trailer.
