Leeches! Trailers

When a crop of doped-up athletes from the Lakecrest College swim team dive into the campus lake to blow off some steam, the bloodsucking leeches below the surface undergo a stunning transformation. After ingesting small amounts of the swimmers' steroid-laced blood, the slimy creatures grow to unusual sizes and set out to sink their teeth into an unsuspecting student population.

To me, this movie is perfection.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Steroids for endurance swimmers? Sucking down pills of 'steroids' with whiskey, and belly buttons that look like ani.If you are gay or very naieve you will like this movie. I hate every actor in this movie, and if they were actually eaten by leeches, that would be a very good thing. TERRIBLE, there is no point to list how many bad specific areas in how bad this movie. TERRIBLE: Sprecial effects, gayness, dialogue so low you cant hear it. Homoertocism is what the purpose of this film apparently is. Its currently on sci-fi right now, I thought I would watch it to make fun of it, but when i realized just how bad this is, I had to go online to write this review, I'm going to turn it off and take a nap insead, and thats what I recommend rather than watching this movie. It doesn't even deserve the 2.8/10 it currently has. My score: -0.05/10

This is by no means a good horror movie other than sitting around to make fun of it. My friends and I have entire bad horror movie marathons, just to get a kick out of how bad they really are. We watched this Wednesday evening and laughed and laughed. It's not so terrible it's unwatchable, but watch it if you love good "bad" horror movies. It's akin to the 70's movie "Frogs" for the modern age and is still as crappy. Still, it's watchable, unless you're a homophobe and are too insecure to handle shots of male chests and legs and the occasional butt shot. Most people rate it badly because of this, but since I am secure with my heterosexualness, I don't need to judge it solely on the fact that it seems to have gay undertones. (even though there's no gay couples what so ever)

Well, it was possible at least to watch this movie unless the big leeches occurred in the screen. The horror scene was so terrible and unprofessional that I got an impression it was a final work of a very untalented and poor student, who was finishing unknown film college. It could be affordable if movie was made in 1978 or smth, but nowadays it is more than a sin to release such piece of junk. The big killer leeches were clearly hand puppets - you can see how "actors" are touching their throats with their own hands in "leechy" gum gloves. That was the total bottom. And they even couldn't put some mucilage on those gloves - the absurd theatre. What is more, there are much scenes where's no logic and absolutely silly phrases like "Trust Steve" and all guys listened without any discussions. Why? There's no intrigue in this film at all - students are killed like cattle in the farm one after another. What is more, two guys in the college are killed (first two victims) and nobody misses them but when another guy takes a pack of steroids and is found dead on the shore, everybody makes a huge flurry. The final scene, when they are trying to entice the leeches and to electroshock them in the swimming-pool, is a total nonsense. The worst of the worst scenes I have ever seen. The director is a total idiot. "The Alien" , which was made in 1979, has 100 times better special effects than a movie built in 2003! Shame, shame, shame! And you don't have to blame just a poor budget - there are many holes and except that factor. TRY TO AVOID THIS MOVIE AND TELL TO FRIENDS.

I have some obsession with movies about animals (preferably mutant) that attack people. It all started when I went to film school and was so tired of watching movies that made me think for hours on end… so I went out and rented all animal attack movies that had one word titles, then I bought a bunch of 40's and had a movie marathon… I have been hooked from that day forth!! Leaches is a funny movie about leaches with roid-rage, attacking a college campus… at some points you can see where the leach glove props run out and you can see the arms inside the gloves!! so if you're expecting a hilariously bad movie, you won't be let down…. LEACHES!!!!...the shane
