We're breaking down the utterly ridiculous but scientifically fascinating 1988 creature feature, Slugs. While the acting and practical effects are a perfect relic of 80s B-movie cinema, there is some genuinely terrifying science we can apply to explain why these gastropods are suddenly craving human flesh. We are diving deep into the world of behavior-altering parasites, exploring how infections like Toxoplasmosis Gondii work, the horrors of aggressive nematodes, and how an environmental anomaly could trigger a hyper-aggressive, carnivorous slug population.
