Attack Of The Giant Leeches

Posted by Ross Rosenberg

“Fear will pierce your flesh…until every nerve in your body…EXPLODES!!”

Giant leeches, no doubt created by some sort of accident involving radiation, feast upon human beings, draining them of their bodily fluids; only to bring them back to life as their slaves.

Trailers like this contain something that I find distinctly lacking in previews for more modern schlock: excitement! Wouldn’t the next Saw or Hostel seem more interesting if it was advertised with a bit more rabid, spittle-flecked enthusiasm? Perhaps what the filmmakers of today need is a lesson in the use of the exclamation mark.

    I greatly appreciated this film when I first viewed it back when I was thirteen years old, titillated by the “distorted desires” comment.

    These old ads are great. Canadian sketch comedy group Loading ready Run did one of their own a few years ago. Zomgies!!!1
