VeSota. Roth. Leeches. CATCH IT!
13 December 2002
It's Hillbillies vs. Giant Leeches in another drab, ridiculous movie from the Roger Corman Film Factory, directed by Bernard L. Kowalski who went on to direct episodes of "Baywatch: Nights". But despite the pairing of MST3K giants Bruno Vesota and Gene Roth (not Merritt Stone)- it sucks! (Leeches, sucks... never mind).

Trouble's a brewin' when gigantic, shotgun-toting grocer Vesota chases no-good cheatin' Yvette Vickers (of "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman" fame) and the pregnant guy from "Night of the Bloodbeast" into the swamp where they are kidnapped by man-sized, gator-eating, intelligent leeches. Taken into custody by the Roth (basically playing the same part as in "Earth vs. The Spider"), later VeSota is found swingin' in his jail cell (must be some steel-reinforced rafters there).

But none of this really factors into the plot, which concerns lots of coffee consumption (shades of Coleman Francis!) and a gal upset that her Swamp Ranger boyfriend is going to arrest her dad for fishing with dynamite (like Ron Howard on "The Simpsons"). Why should anyone watch this movie? Hard to say, but if you like scantily clad, swamp-soaked women getting molested by guys wearing garbage bags, then this is the movie for you!
