Besides, we wouldn't have had the awesome climax we got to see if everyone just used salt each time they encountered the slugs.<br /><br />Violence and gore is way over the top in this film and anyone with a weak stomach should avoid watching it. Otherwise, get a bag or bucket by your side. I'm surprised this film was rated R and not X (back then, X meant NC-17 today instead of porn) for its extreme violence, blood, and gore.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02456282438557237995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-1090026356578355352016-10-18T13:07:31.717-07:002016-10-18T13:07:31.717-07:00I just finished the novel Slugs and the "You ...I just finished the novel Slugs and the "You ain't got the authority to declare Happy Birthday!" line is not there, but it is a short and fun read.Matt Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00681620104311790043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-86190169722382817752016-09-30T11:56:39.106-07:002016-09-30T11:56:39.106-07:00In case you are chomping at the bit for a really n...In case you are chomping at the bit for a really nice version of this movie, Arrow Video just released a BD of this, and it looks great.

That's your job, but I re-watched it last night [after first watching THEY LIVE]...anyway, it's standard monster movie stuff. It has the same basic ending as SLUGS except instead of a sewer it's a mine shaft, and the town doesn't explode. Just David Arquette's career. And the sheriff is hot.
