I have to agree. This movie was terrible. The monster had to be the 
slowest man-eating creature to ever appear on screen. In one scene,
the creature 'Creeps' into a dance hall. As soon as the people see it,
they start running out the other side. The creature, who only manages
to move about 1 foot a minute, still manages to catch a woman and eat
her (Actually looked as if the woman crawled in the creatures mouth.).
As I watched this, I felt that anyone who was so slow that they couldn't
run away from the alien slug deserved to be eaten because they were 
poor samples of human beings anyway. I couldn't watch the whole movie
because of the stupidity. I deffinately agree that this movie should be
on the "Worst Movie List."
