Sure, but I had such good times reading horror novels as a kid. Still do actually, only now I read Matheson and Lovecraft.

But in my opinion, I think Slugs is a whole lot more like Squirm, which I think is the film that Slugs borrowed the most from. <br /><br />Squirm is not a masterpiece, but it is a decent monster movie and a bit more epic then Slugs, especially towards the end. I remember loving the fact that there were so many worms on Squirm, at one point a character actually drowns in worms! If you haven't checked it out yet, I recommend it, the ending is all kinds of awesome! <br /><br />Chiggers: Me for example, I enjoy this type of film, a cheap b-movie with bad dialog and a lot of shock value, but in the end, even though I have a great time with them, I recognize they are bad, in the sense that the acting is not good, and neither is the dialog. <br /><br />Thanks for commenting!

This was actually the very first film I ever reviewed on my blog, and I think my closing thought still wraps up feelings about it pretty well.<br /><br />"You know that movie Slither? It's like that movie's older brother, but not quite as handsome, and not nearly as good at sports."<br /><br />--J/Metro<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-35827902865436194082012-08-29T13:14:18.042-07:002012-08-29T13:14:18.042-07:00Hey Jorge, I think I did mentioned that I enjoyed ...Hey Jorge, I think I did mentioned that I enjoyed this film and that it has good gory effects; I thought Slugs was hilarious!<br /> Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-1210614116645071682012-08-29T11:18:59.196-07:002012-08-29T11:18:59.196-07:00you's a crazy nigga, this movie is awesome. I...you's a crazy nigga, this movie is awesome. I love that the first thing they think when getting bitten by a slug is cutting an arm off. And the scene where they eat the slugs, and the naked couple getting eaten after fucking... shit man this is better than most of Wes Craven's movies. <br /><br />By the way, Squirm is worms, not slugs.Betosky82https://www.blogger.com/profile/14647877443618069407noreply@blogger.com
