Summary: Review of Attack of the Giant Leeches
Review: Eventhough the film is very low budget , it was still enjoyable to watch. The acting is good , the story is good, and the direction has flair. But the greatest asset to this movie is Yvette Vickers, she has a sex appeal so great it is hard to forget her. Like Attack of the 50 Ft Woman I would like to see this film remaid someday with a budget, but it will be hard to recast Miss Vickers.

Summary: Leeches, Chills, and Chortles!
Review: Fans of fifties creature features should enjoy this smarmy swamp saga about vampirish predators that keep captives in caves to suffer lingering, sucked-dry deaths. The monsters are fearsomely fun, the hero hairy-chested and handsome, the leading lady clingy and lovely, and the leading non-lady cleavaged and vampily luscious. The scripting is tolerably sensible, and the acting and direction are above average for this sort of cinema. In its day, this movie's gruesome mutants and waterborne dead bodies would have seemed more grisly than gleeful. But today, both adjectives can be applied in abundance!

Summary: Poor White Trash Meets the Swamp Creatures
Review: If you try hard, you can find both positive and negative things to say of this movie. One definite plus is Yvette Vickers, who looks good in leopard-skin underwear. The tawdry little plot is a combination of Erskine Caldwell style southern lust and adultery portrayed against the background of a 1950s/early 1960s low-budget sci-fi flick. Some of the supporting characters resemble the "gloom, despair, and misery" guys from TV's Hee Haw. There are atomic-size leeches in the local swamp. The authorities are baffled when local-yocals mysteriously disappear. As in many of these old sci-fi flicks, the script wastes time having the various characters dispute that anything unnatural is going on, and then arguing over how to deal with the problem. Ultimately, this movie can either be totally disregarded, or taken as unintentional humor. I usually have a weakness for movies that are "so-bad-they're-good," hence the 2 stars rating. Others beware.

Summary: Black and White Fun!
Review: It is silly and incredibly tacky but this is a truly fun 50s drive in flick. A beautiful damsel <Playbo playmate I believe>, silly music, terrible acting and very silly montsters ... but if y ou like campy movies, don't miss this!! No true violence or foul language, it is safe fun for everyone! Keep the lights on, tho there are some genuinely scary parts if you let yourself get into it! For fans of drive in movies only. Great fun!

Summary: Leeches? What Leeches??
Review: OK, so there are some goofy hillbilly types running around the swamp, getting bled dry by gigantic leeches. Yes, the leeches are grown men wearing plastic trash bags. The hero is a living Ken doll. So what?! The ONLY reason to watch this flick is to see Yvette Vickers (Attack Of The 50 Foot Woman) in her underwear! She dances! She prances! She applies body-lotion! She parades about like the free-spirit she is! Hallelujah! I remember seeing her in this movie 33 years ago. I was 9 years old. I never forgot her! Buy this movie now...

Summary: Drive In Fun
Review: This is a silly but fun romp where people close to a military establishment that dumps nuke waste arte taken away to ... ?This is not a masterpiece like THEM or TARANTULA but it is a lot fun to watch. Yvette Vickers is, to put it simply, gorgeous ! Tho it is uneven, there is a spooky mood over the movie. I have never been to Florida but there is something very creepy about the swamps and within the budget < which would get you a coffee and do nut today>, works well. I can speculate and say it would be a minor classic had the leeches never been shown, but it was made fo r the drive in crowsd and the luckier ones were not interested in the movie by that point. :-) Anyway, this i s a campy, fun film for the whole family and Yvette is certainly candy for the eye!For B fans mostly but it does have some haunting moments. I am curious why swampland has not been used more often as a setting for chiiling movies. Shhhhhhh, don't tell! I just got an idea!
