Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the garden
Raced home from a family gathering, unloaded groceries, talked with Mum far too briefly, got Slugs rolling just in time
Of course SLUGS write in cursive
#monsterdon
#Monsterdon yesssss
Horror movies LOVE playing the Loon sound effect #monsterdon
#Monsterdon eat the annoying dude!
lol, why is she going swimming in her panties?
@aaron
Be careful. Thatβs how I got sucked in. The comments were funny and I had to go find out what it was about. 75 terrible movies laterβ¦ #monsterdon
One last thing - that was based on a book. Slugs, by Shaun Hutson. It has a Wikipedia page which, and I quote "has multiple issues". Somehow that seems apropos.
OK time to eat some pizza way better than what was in Slugs and watch something way better than Slugs
Be glad for small mercies: at least there wasnβt a giant queen slug in the heart of the slug nest!
#monsterdon
π¦#MONSTERDON Goodbye!
Thank you @Taweret for hosting this slimy slog!
and thanks @Cherizilla for the Bingo card! Never thought I would see "Gardening Equipment" next to "Butt" except in a bad porn movie.
And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: Hadn't laughed this hard in a long time. Evidence is mounting in the Monsterdon database that coherent anti-monster plans only appear in Kaiju movies. Getting up in the middle of the night? Step lightly.
@binford2k but they missed the opportunity to specify that it should be a dark, moist place... #monsterdon
@allanb @moira @Taweret wow that must have been 5000 really disappointed movie-goers #monsterdon #slugs1988
@Terencio I don't think he did unless he was standing over a manhole at the time
Poor Pam
#Monsterdon π π π π π©Έ π±
thank you @Taweret for hosting, @Cherizilla for bingo and @JoeWynne for trivia
even though I'm far away from home it was nice to share #Monsterdon with @jivens especially, and thanks to all you #monsterdonians for making it fun!
@CactuarJoe I've got the weirdest appetite.... #Monsterdon
Just think, there could have been salt...
Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everyone for posting!
That last teen death is still pissing me off. #monsterdon
@SordidAmok they replicate in the way that White Male Leads did in that movie #Monsterdon
Was exploding half the town really the best solution they could think of? #Monsterdon
SLUGS (1988) 3/5
a bunch of joyless shovelware. 1 star for existing and 2 stars for the ONE TIME we were shown a slug having a big bitey mouth.
Thanks to @Taweret for all the slow moving horror!
I hope everyone has a great week and remembers that salt is a thing, and that anchovy in salad is a bad idea for a variety of reasons!
Slime ya later
Thanks @Taweret #monsterdon
the hell part of this was filmed in Madrid, Spain????
#monsterdon
The music tells me this isn't the end of a movie, it's the end of an episode of Moonlighting
Moral of the Story:
If you're ever bitten by something say LOUD and CLEAR: "Something BIT me!"
Ah, I believe itβs Blood Freak. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_Freak
#Monsterdon
Oh! A slug survived. No one could have foreseen that. #monsterdon
Anyway, that was a movie all right. Thanks for the commentary.
wait, did the rapist ever get his comeuppance? #monsterdon
Huh. I thought Don was gonna be the survivor
And then everyone in town who wasn't blown up ate salad and screwed until dawn. Made it through this time. Couldn't have done it without #Monsterdon. Thanks again to @Taweret for hosting. Have a great week kids and WASH THOSE GREENS. #Slugs1988
#monsterdon Not even "The End" card, just the credits. But that's fine. It wasn't as gory as I was expecting, bleh. But still a fun trip. Not enough of the cast was dispatched, goddammit. ;)
man what the fuck even was this movie
#monsterdon
This is a supervillain origin story if I've ever seen one
#Monsterdon π π π π π©Έ π±
Everything's OK again <-- this music
until suddenly
Everything's not OK again <-- this other music
I'm going to suggest this has now taken bottom spot for worst Monsterdon movie this year.
Okay, sequel bait. I guess
OH NO, there's one slug remaining!!!
#Monsterdon slugs live! bwahahahahahahaha
Another #Monsterdon is in the can!
Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!
Tonight's feature, #Slugs, from 1988, showed us what happens when a town runs out of salt. We also had:
Blue light slug special!Peeping slugs!Slug eggs!Exploding greenhouse!Finger bitey slugs!Business before slugs!Slug bait!Electric slugs!Exploding sewers!Where's Alice when you need her? Getting drunk and horny with Sam the butcher?
Are... Are they grilling the last slug there? #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon and with that, the worst fake British accent in cinematic history exists the film.
Isn't it handy that the whole sewer system was filled with explosives
for once I am begging for an abrupt ending
please do not make me endure denouement with these characters I do not care about
This movie would be 1000% better if the English scientist were Matt Berry.
Slugs 2: Electric Boogaloo
Don knew what he was getting himself into, we all saw it, we all know it, we know what kind of man Don was, and now all we can do is celebrate him
checks time There's still time for another totally unnecessary sex scene
OMG, this dialog is horrible! Or the delivery. Both!
"We could have never done it without him, Mike."
"That's a small comfort now."
Slugs filmed during the little known 1987 Upstate New York Salt Shortage #Monsterdon
Problem fixed
#monsterdon
Did they consider instead making a movie where it would make sense to blow a bunch of things up?
the slow-mo fire and the explosions are definitely making up for some of this movie's shortfalls
(some, not all)
god but this movie has great corpses to puncutate its absolutely dogshit story beats
Fire fixes everything
These actors are working SO hard. Those poor bastards. #monsterdon
#Monsterdon π π π π π©Έ π±
Glad they slo-mo-ed the flail fall into the slug infested sewer water
That's some impressive acrobatics, though
CALLED IT! #Monsterdon
see? what did i tell you? #monsterdon
Called it , Don's a goner....
I'm just waiting for the Brit to get drunk and horny
That's what killer slugs need, a "distraction."
chumming for slugs
Dollars to donuts the prop guy stole his daughter's "Creepy Crawler" toy to make all the slugs.
@trixter i forgot where this was supposed to be because of the dubbing #Monsterdon
I'm still wondering if the slugs and the chuds know each other
I wonder if these guys have half-masks instead of full-masks so that they get a slug to the eye
also uh, I think maybe the town should re-think that really good deal on electrical cable
This "electricity" reminds me of the effects in Hellraiser (1987), a movieβ¦much better than this one
London John is here for you
I cannot believe Slugs is only 90 minutes. I feel like we've been watching this for 4 hours #Monsterdon
*ZAP*
I doubt there is plenty of ventilation
"Jeez, it's worse than I thought!"
Yeah that's like the third time they've re-used that shot, it's getting really bad. #Monsterdon
Poor Pam....
I think I missed something responding to science questions. Did he seriously sexually assault her in screen? And chase her?
Or did he just drive her away?
Either way, YIKES, movie, WTF.
We just gotta make it through 30 more minutes....
Honey, I'm going to go kill man-eating slugs but when I get back we can get naked and crazy.
hopefully the would-be rapists still get sluggedβ¦
I'm perversely pleased that the "good girl" who says no to drugs, sex, and, uh, pizza also gets indiscriminately devoured by the slugs. In the end, slugs come for all
#Monsterdon π π π π π©Έ π±
why is there always a sexual assault in these movies dangit
oh i see. definitely slam your high heeled shoe into this man's temple and take off, ma'am. #monsterdon
@paul_griffin BEER! Thatβs what they need to bait the slugs!! #monsterdon
"it's as easy as herding slugs!" #monsterdon
Set designer: βIβm thinking we should make it look like an after-school specialβ
#monsterdon
"It's a Halloween party! How can you not be having fun?"
"Well, the music sucks, no one is wearing a costume, and you don't understand that 'no' means 'no.'"
Is he putting that mask on to have a wank in the woods?
this guy keeps making fun of the PPE equipment. but he's the exact type of guy to go "hell yeah" after Breaking Bad airs.
It's GMC sewage truck so everything's going to be OK
#Monsterdon the lady said she doesn't want to party >:-(
kill all the kids except her
