Abertoir Horror Festival 2024 2024 Line-Up Slugs
A man's face eaten and covered in blood

The townsfolk of a rural community are dying in strange and gruesome circumstances. Following the trail of horrifically mutilated cadavers, resident health inspector Mike Brady is on the case to piece together the mystery. He soon comes to a terrifying conclusion giant slugs are breeding in the sewers beneath the town, and they’re making a meal of the locals!

Based on the novel by British horror author Shaun Hutson and directed by Juan Piquer Simón, of Pieces fame, Slugs is a particularly icky and gruesome entry in the animal attack sub-genre.  It’s also one of our favourites, and a guaranteed late-night crowd pleaser that will make even the strongest of you squirm in your seats.  Certainly, you won’t be eating lettuce again for a very long time….
