* BodyHorror: The slugs are stated and shown to eat people's eyeballs specifically in addition to the fact that they're ''flesh-eating'' slugs. The crown for squickiest moment of the film, however, arguably goes to the unfortunate guy attempting to seal a property deal, having eaten ''slug-contaminated salad'' the prior night; At first he suffers from headaches, then his nose starts bleeding in front of his dinner guests, then he collapses to the floor frantically screaming and clawing at his face, before a hail of ''worms'' literally ''burst'' from his eyesockets.

* DullSurprise: Nearly everyone, though Mike's muted response to being ''bitten by a slug'' really stands out.
* EatenAlive: Typically the fate of anyone who comes across the slugs. Averted in one instance but only because the potential slug victim ''chops off his own hand and promptly gets blown up''.
