Let's be realistic.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Yes, this movie is ridiculous. Yes, it's does have a vaguely gay-porno-film vibe. Even the freakish monster-leeches are phallic, despite simultaneously looking like oven mitts. Still, the homo-erotic aspects of the film remain more implicit than explicit, so that you find yourself looking around the room asking everyone else: Does anybody else think this is a little . . . queer? By the end of the film, there's really not much doubt about whether the filmmakers intended it to be screened as such, but it's the process of enjoying every bizarre moment of innuendo that makes this film a winner. I should also mention that for a horror movie, it's less scary than just hokey, but some of us get a kick out of that. I highly recommend this film to horror fans who enjoy the opportunity to make politically/socially subversive readings of film texts--because your work is pretty much done for you.

This movie has the dubious honour of being the absolute worst movie of all time. Too much to go into in detail......the awful acting, the plastic "monster" leeches moving as if someone is pulling a string, the "exploding" leech full of balloons, the awful and predictable plot line, etc, etc. However, this is nothing more than a soft-porn gay flick, disguised as a grade Z (worse than "B") sci fi horror movie. Slow panning shots of semi-naked boys' bodies, slow-motion boys emerging from the water or showering, leeches moving slowly up the boys' legs to their abs, to their chests, to their......you get my drift. Then, there are the "bondage" scenes with the young teenager tied to the bed, the hunky coach tied to the shower, and I could go on and on. Great movie if you're a gay male teenager and too afraid to go get a XXX movie from your local XXX shop. Enjoy it if you can.

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)

In what is possibly the most unscary horror film ever made, college students are having the blood sucked out of them by the terrible creatures in the title. Er.. why not just stay out of the water, then? Unfortunately, this bunch of morons are the stupidest people ever to graduate.. so we get scene after scene of them diving in, despite being given plenty of warnings about the danger. In fact, it is impossible to care whether they live or die after a while, their behaviour is so idiotic and suicidal. So instead, why not sit back and enjoy the plastic toys that are supposed to pass for leeches and the worse acting you'll see outside pantomime. And this little treasure was made in 2003. The mind boggles.. 0/10
