Simply Perfect

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The local hillbilly population is being sorely depleted, due to the huge invertebrates of the title (aka: grown men in black, plastic trash bags). The swamps just aren't what they used to be. Enter Game Warden, Steve Benton (Ken Clark), who tries to get to the bottom of the mysterious deaths. Meanwhile, rotund retailer, Dave Walker (Bruno VeSota- WAR OF THE SATELLITES) watches as his manhood is incinerated by his wild wife, Liz (Yvette Vickers- ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN). Liz just won't stay home w/ her hulking husband, choosing the allure of the swamps instead. In all honesty, the real reason to watch this movie is Ms. Vickers. She is hot enough to start a forest fire w/ her big toe! WATCH! As she applies her leg lotion like nobody's business! SEE! Her make brushing her teeth into a sensual experience! Oh my! Liz is far too much for either Dave, or her man-on-the-side, Cal (Michael Emmet- NIGHT OF THE BLOOD BEAST) to handle. Without her, we're left w/ Benton's yeti chest hair, Cal's overblown ego, Dave's blubber, or the sheriff's (Gene Roth- SHE DEMONS, THE SPIDER) gargantuan bowl of baked beans to draw our attention! Oh, and those bulbous bloodsuckers! ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES is among the upper levels of the schlock pantheon... EXTRA POINTS: For Cal's quick change from macho-lover-man to quivering coward! A singular sight to behold!...

This is one of the scariest movie I have ever seen. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It is scarier then A Nightmare on elms street. If you like horror stories you will like this movie.

This is pretty bad, even for a B-film junkie like myself. The most gruesome part for me was imagining "Liz Baby" coupling up with that husband of hers. Yuck! Maybe by swamp people standards he was prosperous and at least didn't smell like alligator poop.I will note that the scene of the leech lurching up to dine on a conscious but helpless Yvette Vickers did have a certain voyeuristic quality to it, but inter-species eroticism is just a bit too much.The creatures were really bad. Totally unconvincing and simply too anatomically absurd to not notice. And when shot, they voiced their displeasure through via a stock recording of what was evidently a very angry Persian cat. I wonder if they purr when content? I don't like giving these old sci-fi movies really low scores, but this one deserves it.

Here we go with another movie that doesn't make any sense.The only thing they don't fail at is letting us know who's going to die next.People are disappearing and the town people never believe those who actually see the "giant leeches".After most of the people are gone, they decide to believe the leeches exist and then quickly make up a bunch of "facts" about them.The hero threatens to arrest the elderly man who wants to use dynamite in the swamp to find the bodies but then ends up using it himself.Of course the elderly man is the hero's girlfriends dad, that's because the scientists don't have guns.Most importantly this movie has the obligatory scuba diving.What's a movie without scuba diving?Good?
