The local hillbilly population is being sorely depleted, due to the huge invertebrates of the title (aka: grown men in black, plastic trash bags). Due to this onslaught, the swamps just aren't what they used to be. Game Warden, Steve Benton (Ken Clark) 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 with her hulking husband in his tiny grocery store, choosing the allure of the swamps instead.
In all honesty, the real reason to watch this movie is Ms. Vickers. She's hot enough to start a forest fire with 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. It's just a good thing that she's in this movie. Without her, we're left with Benton's yeti chest hair, Cal's overblown ego, Dave's blubber, and / 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!...
