Hutson has featured in a couple of horror films himself. The first book of the Slugs series has been adapted into a movie, however, he did not appreciate the movie more than his novel. Hutson is particularly famous for writing the Sean Doyle series, the Heathen series, and the Slugs series. He has written more than 30 novels under his original name and numerous pen names. However, it is the use of technophobia that leads to the most bizarre scenes, where the computer takes over the ritual.Shaun Hutson is a well known British writer of horror, thriller, suspense, crime fiction, fantasy, and science fiction stories. The film contains many of the common 80s horror themes, namely satanic panic and the outcast-turned-villain trope. RELATED: Sex, Drugs, and Driller Killers: The History of Video NastiesĮvilspeak isn't for the faint-hearted, even though the effects are dated now, there are quite a few scenes that are hard to watch, especially if you are an animal lover. When the bullies commit their most heinous act yet, Stanley is pushed to breaking point and enlists the computer's help to perform the black mass. Stanley becomes obsessed with the ritual and steals a computer from the school lab to research it further.

One day when being wrongfully punished for something he didn't do, Stanley stumbles across a book about how to perform the black mass. The film centers around Stanley Coopersmith ( Clint Howard) a military school student who is the victim of horrifically bullying. Man with the glove: 0.Įvilspeak is a cult classic that was banned in the UK for its graphic violence and satanic themes. It is at this point that he decides that he may as well just amputate his hand: why go to the hospital or phone an ambulance? From there, things escalate very quickly and his entire house blows up. In the struggle, he manages to trap himself under a shelf where the only thing he can reach is an axe. He then attempts to cut the gloves off with pruning shears, which have obviously not been sharpened in a while because they don't work either. In one scene a slug the size of a spoon crawls into a man's gardening glove which he is then unable to pull off: does the slug have super sticking powers? Still trying to remove the glove, the man stumbles, knocking some deadly chemicals onto the ground which begin to smoke and smolder.

The film, which is based on the novel, Slugs by Shaun Hutson, is as bonkers as you would imagine a film about killer slugs to be. When the vicious, slimy critters can not be contained, it is up to Health Inspector, Mike Brady ( Michael Garfield) to stop them. Garden variety slugs become mutants after being exposed to toxic waste and wreak havoc on a small town in Slugs: The Movie.
