whatsupdoc525 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.

Phillemos This movie is apparently someone's way of getting revenge on me for putting all my thoughts about the attractiveness of the females in all my IMDb.com horror movie reviews. "Leeches!" (as opposed to "Leeches?") is a hideously slow-moving movie that features a lot of bathing-trunk clad guys getting attacked in slow motion by mutated leeches in the shower stalls of their local community college, with pseudo-porn background music. Apparently one of the students had been messing with steroids and accidentally created the leech problems. Conversely, NOBODY involved in this disaster has been messing with script-writing, special effects or casting. I could live with the homo-erotic influences of this movie if it were not for the absence of actual horror movie scenes. The ending is incredibly dumb, too. They try to leave the door open for a sequel, but the way they do it with a plot twist that is just so silly you'll laugh. In conclusion, there is more modeling time by the male actors than there are scenes featuring the killer leeches. I can only hope that someday, someone will do a movie called "Gay Porn!" that will be about an invasion of killer leeches. A truly terrible movie.

A_Roode I've got a friend who plays on my masochistic urges. He tries to dig up the worst movies that he can because he knows I'll watch anything once. 'Leeches' was his most recent bid to break my spirit. It is pretty far from great, but it is no worse than you might expect it to be. This is actually a very good time to 'judge a book by its cover.' Everything you need or want to know is there.In fairness, the film is not trying to be anything more than a low-level exploitation film. A similarly masochistic buddy of mine watched it with me and we actually found it hilariously funny in a couple of spots. The acting is total cheeseball and the dialogue is ridiculous. The film is charged with homo-eroticism. Come on, it is just hilarious the number of shower scenes that take place, and the fact that all of the guys go into slow motion when they undress to go swimming.The leeches are pretty funny. They move very slowly ... until they attack. Then suddenly they become piranhas and move with lightening speed. The leeches also have high pitched squeaky voices. Oh yes, this is a special film.If I was going to be generous I would say you could watch this film as a satire of teen monster movies or that it is maybe a message film -- "Steroids are BAD!" You'll be happier if you watch it and just revel in the b-movie humour. A lot of it is unintentional and the actors all take their parts with a hilarious degree of seriousness. What little hope there might have been for this movie was spoiled by a completely random plot twist in the last moments of the movie.I was going to list a series of questions that the movie had brought up for me, like why a competitive swim team with an Olympic sized pool would need to swim in a leech infested lake. I don't really want to waste anymore time on this movie though and I hope anyone reading this is doing it pre-emptively. I love bad movies but this is just garbage, sprinkled with a side of unintentional humour.

ApolloBoy109 This is a specific target market: Gay men who love Horror films. It is not for woman who like seeing the flesh of men at all. Directed by super la cheapo David DeCoteau, who could bring any movie under budget. And it is not for heterosexual fans of horror either. Period! I have David's entire collection of these types of films. I surprise my friends with one every once in a while and they swoon. They love them! Someone -- with a sense of humor -- is actually smart enough to produce them and I'll bet they make a bundle. There is a market for this. It is not necessary to rip it apart. Yes. From the onset, anyone familiar with these films, (Voodoo Academy, Brotherhood et al.) knows what they're in for. Hot stupid guys with great asses running around in their underwear. The plots vary but who cares, the dialogue is straight from the 1950s Drive-In fare.My favorite in this film, is the Leech coming up the leg of a sleeping hunk, right up to his lower ass, the Leech rears it's head and it looks like he's gonna plunge into the guy's . . . . I was laughing so hard. Alright, serious business here. David, please, please, please can't we have a couple of hot butt shots (naked)!! So. Hot studs. Underwear. Crazy plot. Acting not so good. DeCoteau's dazzling and interesting camera shots. What's not to like??
