Horror Hunks: Kris Mann in Slugs


Killer slugs on the rampage in a rural community.


I hadn't heard of 1988's horror flick Slugs until seeing some caps that poster Charles had posted on the DC forum.  I love a cheesy horror flick, especially one that gets a tall hot blonde out of his clothing. Slugs however, managed to go beyond just being cheesy.  Some of the scenes featuring the slimy blood-sucking mollusks are downright frightening.  Well.. maybe more disgusting than frightening, but they certainly had me squirming in my seat. 


'Based on the horrifying best seller by Shaun Hutson.  Living pacing, convincing special effects.... thrill packed scenes!

The tall hot blonde in question is actor Kris Mann in his only credited feature film.  Slugs is really his only credit other than playing a cop in two episodes of the 1987 Nicole Kidman led Australian mini-series Vietnam.  Mann's role as Bobby in Slugs is not a big one, but it is impactful.

In hindsight, I'm thinking poor Donna might have asked Bobby to pull out sooner so they could have gotten out of that room! Be warned, if you watch the clip below, it has a bloody, and not so happy, ending. Once again Slugs proves that having sex in a horror movie is never a good idea...
