I had a girlfriend in high school whose family watched this every Christmas

This film is actually Spanish

yay slugs

Yes, Yes, Yes.

I saw the beginning of this on TV when I was six or so... scared the shit out of me.

"But 20 years ago, in the stillness beneath these waters, something happened!" "UUEH!"

70's scifi/horror does not get the love it deserves. I always expected this movie to show up on MST3K.

couldn't you just outrun them?

YES! The bite at 00:44 seals the deal. A total classic.

I thought they'd at least be giant slugs. But, no. Just regular sized ones. Seriously, how could anyone with thick boots and some Morton's get killed by these things?

But when they explode that guys head, they were just trying to say "I love you". Slugs are so misunderstood.

Holy crap, I saw a clip of this on "Out There" years ago when all Channel 5 aired was porn and ill-concedived alternative sitcoms but never thought it was an actual real film ...

The scene I saw was with two teens going at it, then suddenly their room is full of slugs and the guy gets a chunk bitten out of his arse or something.

Incidentally there was a clip of Ricky-O straight afterwards where he strangles that guy with his own lower intestine.

My gastropod friends are being maligned.

I haven't seen this movie - yet - but this is among the best movie trailers ever, right up there with Joysticks.

Only thing I remember about this movie is that the heroic scientist's name is Mike Brady.

This film is incredible if you haven't seen it. The salad scene is excellent!

go get em slugger
