“Slugs” is a horror-comedy movie that was released in 1988. It was directed by Juan Piquer Simón and is based on the novel of the same name by British author Shaun Hutson. The film falls into the creature feature genre, focusing on killer slugs that terrorize a small town.

Plot Summary:
The movie is set in the fictional town of Ashton, where residents start to experience mysterious deaths and disappearances. As the body count rises, health inspector Mike Brady (played by Michael Garfield) becomes suspicious of the cause. He discovers that mutated slugs, which have been contaminated by toxic waste, are responsible for the gruesome deaths.

Mike teams up with a local newspaper reporter, Kim (played by Kim Terry), and they try to convince the skeptical town authorities of the deadly threat posed by the slugs. As the slugs continue to multiply and grow in size, the situation becomes increasingly dire.

Together, they must find a way to stop the slugs before the entire town becomes overrun by the vicious and carnivorous creatures.

The film received mixed reviews upon its release, with some praising its entertaining B-movie charm, while others criticized its low-budget effects and over-the-top nature. Despite its flaws, “Slugs” has gained a cult following over the years, particularly among fans of cheesy and campy horror films. If you enjoy creature features and dark humor, this movie might be worth a watch!
