{{work}}

 

 

 

When backwoods Florida shopkeeper Dave Walker discovers his hot but hostile wife Liz having an affair with his best friend Cal, he pursues the offending couple into the swamp with a shotgun. But before he can exact his revenge, the pair are dragged under the water by a couple of enormous slug-like creatures.

* [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]]

* [[Freudian Excuse]] / [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Liz blames her long streak of bad relationships for landing her in Dave's hands.

* [[I Love Nuclear Power|I Love Atomic Power]]: A [[Hand Wave]] mid-film suggests that the leeches were mutated by waste run-off from nearby Cape Canaveral.

* [[Men Are the Expendable Gender]]: One female victim among four male ones; the woman even manages to outlive [[Those Two Guys]] who are captured long after she is, giving the audience a false hope that she will ultimately be rescued. Furthermore, the eventual discovery of the men's bodies is played as a shock sting, while the discovery of the woman's is treated as more tragic.

* [[The End or Is It]]: The last thing heard in the film is the sound of the leeches 'gurgling'. Implying that some others survive.

* [[Those Two Guys]]: The leeches' final two victims, who are captured even as they search for Liz and Cal.
